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 Burlington contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Burlington 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.
Common questions
How much does shingle replacement cost in Burlington?
Most Burlington jobs land between $13 and $21. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $33. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you need a permit for shingle replacement in Burlington?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Burlington. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Do you offer same-day shingle replacement in Burlington?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Burlington for most standard scopes.
Is shingle replacement covered by home insurance in Burlington?
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 Burlington?
Yes. Condo boards in Burlington typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
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.
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.
When's the best time of year for shingle replacement in Burlington?
Late September through mid-November with Burlington averaging 121cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
