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 Lincoln contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Lincoln references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Common questions
Do you need a permit for shingle replacement in Lincoln?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Lincoln. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Do you offer same-day shingle replacement in Lincoln?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Lincoln for most standard scopes.
What warranty do you offer on shingle replacement in Lincoln?
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.
Is shingle replacement covered by home insurance in Lincoln?
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.
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.
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 Lincoln?
Most Lincoln jobs land between $12 and $19. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $31. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Lincoln?
Yes. Condo boards in Lincoln typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
