Choosing a roofing contractor
Choose a roofing contractor by verifying legal identity, insurance, WorkSafeBC standing, relevant experience, written scope, warranty terms and source-linked reviews—not by relying on a low total or a logo list. The company name on insurance, clearance documents, estimate and contract should match.
Verify the business first
The company name on insurance, clearance documents, estimate and contract should match. Ask for current records that apply to the proposed work.
Compare scope, not just price
One proposal may include deck allowance, new flashings, disposal, ventilation and permits while another does not. Missing detail creates the appearance of a lower price.
Test communication before signing
Notice whether questions receive direct answers and whether assumptions are documented. The same habits usually carry into scheduling, changes and closeout.
Details worth checking
- Current insurance and WorkSafeBC status
- Written material and preparation specification
- Clear allowances and exclusions
- Site protection and cleanup plan
- Change-order process
- Workmanship and manufacturer warranty terms
- Verifiable project and review sources
