Common questions
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.

1–3 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.

Most Oshawa jobs land between $14 and $22. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $35. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
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.
