Question 1

How long does an asphalt shingle roof last in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

A properly installed architectural shingle roof typically lasts 20–30 years in central Ontario. Freeze-thaw cycles, ice damming, and UV exposure are the main wear factors. Annual visual checks and clean eavestroughs add years.

Question 2

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every quote is free, in writing, and itemized. We assess the roof, take measurements and photos, and explain what the price covers (materials, labor, disposal, permits if needed) so there are no surprises.

Question 3

Are you fully insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We carry liability insurance and WSIB coverage. Proof of both can be provided before work begins, and we recommend always asking any contractor for current certificates.

Question 4

Do you offer financing?

Accepted Answer

Yes — financing options are available for qualifying customers. Ask Arthur during your estimate and we will walk through the terms.

Question 5

How long does a typical re-roof take?

Accepted Answer

Most single-family homes are completed in 1–2 days from tear-off to clean-up, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs may take longer. We schedule with the weather forecast in mind to avoid leaving a roof open.

Question 6

What warranty do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Materials are covered by the manufacturer (typically 25–50 years for shingles, up to 50 years for metal). On top of that, we provide a workmanship warranty that covers our installation. Exact terms are written into every contract.

Question 7

Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can document damage with photos, meet your adjuster on-site, and provide the detailed scope of work most insurers require. We do not, however, negotiate your claim for you — that is between you and your insurer.

Question 8

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Barrie, Innisfil, and surrounding Simcoe County — including Bradford, Newmarket, Aurora, Orillia, Alliston, Angus, and Cookstown. If you are nearby and not listed, call us anyway.
