How we prioritise
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."
Response windows across Toronto
Standard bookings inside Toronto: 3–5 business days. Same-day: usually before 2pm if we get the call by 9am. Emergency (water in flue, active leak): 90 minutes on weekdays, 3 hours weekends.
Weekend and holiday coverage
Saturday standard. Sunday and stat holidays are emergency-only with a documented callout fee that's waived if we book the follow-up job.
Common questions
What warranty do you offer on shingle replacement in Toronto?
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 offer same-day shingle replacement in Toronto?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Toronto for most standard scopes.
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 need a permit for shingle replacement in Toronto?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Toronto. 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 Toronto?
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.
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
How much does shingle replacement cost in Toronto?
Most Toronto jobs land between $11 and $18. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $29. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
How long does shingle replacement take in Toronto?
1–3 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
