Common questions
Do you offer same-day shingle replacement in Pickering?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Pickering for most standard scopes.
How long does shingle replacement take in Pickering?
1–3 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
When's the best time of year for shingle replacement in Pickering?
Late September through mid-November with Pickering averaging 127cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
How much does shingle replacement cost in Pickering?
Most Pickering jobs land between $13 and $21. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $34. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
What warranty do you offer on shingle replacement in Pickering?
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 Pickering?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Pickering. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
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 Pickering?
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.
