Saturday standard. Sunday and stat holidays are emergency-only with a documented callout fee that's waived if we book the follow-up job.

Active leaks, gas smell, and animal-in-flue jump the queue over cosmetic shingle replacement work. We text realistic ETAs, not "we'll get to it."
Common questions
Do you offer same-day shingle replacement in Richmond Hill?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Richmond Hill for most standard scopes.
How long does shingle replacement take in Richmond Hill?
1–3 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
What warranty do you offer on shingle replacement in Richmond Hill?
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.
Do you need a permit for shingle replacement in Richmond Hill?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Richmond Hill. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
When's the best time of year for shingle replacement in Richmond Hill?
Late September through mid-November with Richmond Hill averaging 150cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
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.
Is shingle replacement covered by home insurance in Richmond Hill?
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 Richmond Hill?
Yes. Condo boards in Richmond Hill typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
