What Emergency Tarp actually costs in Markham
Straightforward emergency roof tarp on a typical Markham home runs $391 to $626. Complex jobs — multi-storey access, heritage masonry, or downtown parking — push the top end toward $1,017. The variance is almost always access, not the work itself.
Line items to look for on a quote
A clean emergency tarp quote itemises: labour hours, materials with brand names, dump/haul fees, permits (where required), and a written warranty term. Anything lumped as "misc" or "shop supplies" over 5% is worth questioning.
Why Markham pricing differs from neighbouring cities
Markham's 72% natural gas mix drives which emergency tarp scopes come up most. 8% of the housing stock predates 1960, which is why emergency tarp jobs here average slightly more site prep than newer suburbs.
