Vetting a King contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two King 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 shingle replacement).
Common questions
Do you service condos and heritage homes in King?
Yes. Condo boards in King typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
How long does shingle replacement take in King?
1–3 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you need a permit for shingle replacement in King?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in King. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
How much does shingle replacement cost in King?
Most King jobs land between $12 and $20. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $32. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
Do you offer same-day shingle replacement in King?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside King for most standard scopes.
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.
When's the best time of year for shingle replacement in King?
Late September through mid-November with King averaging 156cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
