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 Aurora contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Aurora references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Common questions
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 Aurora?
Most Aurora jobs land between $12 and $19. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $31. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
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.
Do you offer same-day shingle replacement in Aurora?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Aurora for most standard scopes.
How long does shingle replacement take in Aurora?
1–3 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Is shingle replacement covered by home insurance in Aurora?
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 need a permit for shingle replacement in Aurora?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Aurora. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
When's the best time of year for shingle replacement in Aurora?
Late September through mid-November with Aurora averaging 152cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
