Common questions
When's the best time of year for shingle replacement in Hamilton?
Late September through mid-November with Hamilton averaging 117cm 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 Hamilton?
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.
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.
How long does shingle replacement take in Hamilton?
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 Hamilton?
Most Hamilton jobs land between $12 and $19. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $30. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you need a permit for shingle replacement in Hamilton?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Hamilton. 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 Hamilton?
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 offer same-day shingle replacement in Hamilton?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Hamilton for most standard scopes.
