Vetting a Milton contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Milton 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
When's the best time of year for shingle replacement in Milton?
Late September through mid-November with Milton averaging 133cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
What warranty do you offer on shingle replacement in Milton?
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.
Do you offer same-day shingle replacement in Milton?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Milton for most standard scopes.
How long does shingle replacement take in Milton?
1–3 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Milton?
Yes. Condo boards in Milton typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
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 much does shingle replacement cost in Milton?
