5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Roofer
2026-04-30 · 4 min read
Roofing is project-priced, not hourly. Ask about WSBC clearance, liability insurance, shingle brand, labour warranty, and who hauls away old materials.
Leak patches can be same-week; full re-roofs need dry weather windows and may take several days.
Must-ask questions
How many layers will you remove? Is decking replacement included if rotten? What's the warranty on labour vs materials? Can I see a recent reference for a similar roof type?
