What to check when hiring roofers in Canada

MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.

  • Never agree to roof work from a cold-caller at your door or an unsolicited 'we noticed your roof' note. That is the classic roofing scam.
  • Get a written quote that itemizes access (scaffolding or a tower), the exact materials, and the workmanship guarantee, not a vague day rate.
  • Be wary of demands for a large cash deposit; agree staged payments against work you can actually see completed.
  • Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
  • A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.

How to judge a roofer

Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each contractor’s public evidence above.

Verify before you hire

  • Roofing isn't a compulsory-certified trade in most provinces, so focus on a current workers' compensation clearance (WSIB/WorkSafeBC/WCB): roofing is high-risk fall work and you don't want to be liable for an injury on your roof.
  • Confirm liability insurance and, for structural changes or some re-roofs, the municipal building permit your council requires.
  • Manufacturer certification (e.g. GAF, IKO, BP) can mean a stronger, transferable material and workmanship warranty: ask which system they're certified to install.
  • Get a written scope covering tear-off vs overlay, underlayment, flashing, ventilation and clean-up.

Warning signs of a rogue contractor

  • Door-knocking after a storm claiming urgent damage seen from the street, with no local address.
  • No proof of workers' compensation coverage or liability insurance for at-heights work.
  • Wants a large deposit or full payment up front, or a price far below every other bid.
  • Vague scope: no detail on tear-off, flashing, ventilation or warranty.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Can I see your liability insurance and current WCB/WSIB clearance?
  • Are you a certified installer for the roofing system, and what warranty comes with it?
  • Does the price include tear-off, new underlayment, flashing and clean-up?
  • Do you have a local address and recent local references?

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a trustworthy roofer?
Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A roofer backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend roofers for payment?
No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Roofers are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
Where do the reviews come from?
They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
What should I check before hiring a roofer?
Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the roofer, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
