Vetting a Hamilton contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Hamilton 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.
How long does roof repair take in Hamilton?
2–5 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
How much does roof repair cost in Hamilton?
Most Hamilton jobs land between $436 and $697. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,132. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Hamilton?
Yes. Condo boards in Hamilton typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
What warranty do you offer on roof repair 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.
When's the best time of year for roof repair 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.
Is roof repair 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.
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.
