Line items to look for on a quote
A clean shingle replacement 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.

Common questions
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 service condos and heritage homes in Oshawa?
Yes. Condo boards in Oshawa typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Do you need a permit for shingle replacement in Oshawa?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Oshawa. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Is shingle replacement covered by home insurance in Oshawa?
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.
What warranty do you offer on shingle replacement in Oshawa?
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.
When's the best time of year for shingle replacement in Oshawa?
Late September through mid-November with Oshawa averaging 99cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you offer same-day shingle replacement in Oshawa?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Oshawa for most standard scopes.
How long does shingle replacement take in Oshawa?
1–3 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
