Red flags on quotes
Verbal-only pricing, deposits above 20%, cash-only discounts, and unwillingness to itemise materials by brand are the top four. Any one is a pass.
What a defensible quote looks like
Written scope with photos, itemised labour + materials, 30-day validity, WSIB and liability certificate attached, and named workmanship warranty (5 years is the current bar for shingle replacement).
Vetting a Clarington contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Clarington references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Common questions
When's the best time of year for shingle replacement in Clarington?
Late September through mid-November with Clarington averaging 111cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
What warranty do you offer on shingle replacement in Clarington?
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.
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.
Is shingle replacement covered by home insurance in Clarington?
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 Clarington?
Yes. Condo boards in Clarington typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Do you need a permit for shingle replacement in Clarington?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Clarington. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
How long does shingle replacement take in Clarington?
1–3 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
How much does shingle replacement cost in Clarington?
