Vetting a Vaughan contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Vaughan references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Red flags on quotes
Verbal-only pricing, deposits above 20%, cash-only discounts, and unwillingness to itemise materials by brand are the top four. Any one is a pass.
What a defensible quote looks like
Written scope with photos, itemised labour + materials, 30-day validity, WSIB and liability certificate attached, and named workmanship warranty (5 years is the current bar for roof repair).
Common questions
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
How long does roof repair take in Vaughan?
2–5 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you offer same-day roof repair in Vaughan?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Vaughan for most standard scopes.
How much does roof repair cost in Vaughan?
Most Vaughan jobs land between $436 and $697. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,132. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
When's the best time of year for roof repair in Vaughan?
Late September through mid-November with Vaughan averaging 146cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
What warranty do you offer on roof repair in Vaughan?
Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
Is roof repair covered by home insurance in Vaughan?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
Do you need a permit for roof repair in Vaughan?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Vaughan. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
