Common questions
What warranty do you offer on roof repair 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.
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.
How long does roof repair take in Oshawa?
2–5 hrs 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 roof repair 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.
How much does roof repair cost in Oshawa?
Most Oshawa jobs land between $507 and $812. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,319. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you offer same-day roof repair in Oshawa?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Oshawa for most standard scopes.
Is roof repair 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.
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.
