How to hire a roofing pro in Canada
- Licensing varies by province and municipality — there is no national roofing licence; check local business licensing plus references
- Ask for a WSIB (Ontario) / WorkSafeBC clearance certificate and liability insurance before signing
- Confirm the quote includes eave ice-and-water shield — required by code in most provinces because of ice damming
- Book early: the realistic season is late spring to fall, and good crews fill up months ahead
- Get tear-off, disposal, underlayment and a per-sheet deck repair price itemised
- Get manufacturer and workmanship warranties in writing
Canada has no national roofing licence — requirements are provincial and municipal, so insurance and workers' compensation clearance are the universal checks. Building codes in most provinces mandate eave protection (ice-and-water membrane) due to ice damming, and quotes missing it are under-specified.

Frequently asked questions
What warranties should a new roof come with?
Two separate ones: a manufacturer warranty on materials (often 20-50 years, sometimes conditional on certified installation) and the contractor's own workmanship warranty (5-10 years is respectable). Get both in writing and understand what voids them — foot traffic, unventilated attics and pressure washing are common exclusions.
What should be included in a roofing quote?
Tear-off and disposal, underlayment spec, flashing replacement (not reuse), ridge and valley details, a unit price for replacing rotten decking discovered mid-job, scaffolding or edge protection, and cleanup with a magnetic nail sweep. A quote missing the deck-repair unit price is the classic setup for large mid-job extras.
When is the best time of year to replace a roof?
Dry, settled weather — and before your region's storm or rainy season, not after it starts. Roofers book out weeks or months ahead of peak season, so schedule inspections early; shoulder-season slots are often cheaper and easier to get.
Can a new roof be installed over the old one?
Sometimes — an overlay saves tear-off cost but hides deck problems, adds weight, and often shortens the new roof's life and warranty. Many codes and manufacturers limit roofs to two layers. Tear-off costs more upfront and is usually the better long-term decision; get both options priced.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Canada?
A typical asphalt shingle replacement runs CAD $8,000-$25,000 with most homes landing around $12,000-$15,000; metal roofs run $18,000-$50,000. Per-square-foot pricing of $5-$13 installed is typical for asphalt.
Can you replace a roof in a Canadian winter?
It's possible but not ideal — shingle adhesive strips need warmth to seal, and snow slows and endangers crews. Most contractors work April-November; winter work is usually limited to emergency repairs and ice-dam mitigation.
