Vetting a Newmarket contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Newmarket references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
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 roof repair).
Common questions
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 roof repair covered by home insurance in Newmarket?
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 Newmarket?
Yes. Condo boards in Newmarket typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
How much does roof repair cost in Newmarket?
Most Newmarket jobs land between $453 and $726. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,179. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
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.
Do you offer same-day roof repair in Newmarket?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Newmarket for most standard scopes.
What warranty do you offer on roof repair in Newmarket?
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.
When's the best time of year for roof repair in Newmarket?
Late September through mid-November with Newmarket averaging 154cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
