Common questions
How long does shingle replacement take in Oakville?
1–3 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
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.
What warranty do you offer on shingle replacement in Oakville?
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 shingle replacement covered by home insurance in Oakville?
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 shingle replacement in Oakville?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Oakville. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
