Hiring a roofing replacement & repair contractor in Brantford
A roof replacement is one of the more safety-sensitive jobs a homeowner will hire for, and proof of WSIB coverage and fall protection is not optional paperwork, it is what protects the household if a worker is hurt on the property. Ontario's winters also make ice-and-water shield along eaves and valleys a real requirement, not an upsell.
What to look for
- Valid WSIB clearance certificate and visible fall protection on site
- Ice-and-water shield installed along eaves, valleys and roof penetrations
- Experience with your specific roof system, asphalt shingle, metal or flat membrane
- A tear-off and disposal plan rather than layering new shingles over old
- Manufacturer certification if the shingle brand's enhanced warranty matters to you
Questions to ask
- Can you provide a current WSIB clearance certificate for this job?
- What fall protection will your crew use on my roof?
- Is ice-and-water shield included along the eaves and valleys?
- Are you tearing off the old roof completely, or layering over it?
- What is the manufacturer's material warranty versus your labour warranty?
What it tends to cost
Cost is driven mainly by roof size, pitch, the number of layers being removed and the material chosen, so a standard asphalt shingle re-roof typically costs less than a standing-seam metal roof or a complex flat membrane system. Steep pitches, multiple valleys and difficult access can also raise labour costs, so ask for a breakdown of tear-off, materials and disposal separately.
Red flags
- Cannot produce a WSIB clearance certificate or dismisses the question
- Crew working the roof with no visible fall protection
- Suggests layering new shingles over old to save time or cost
