Nothing left to chance. Nothing left to clean up.

The steps

1. The first conversation

   Step 1

   You talk to a roofer, not a salesperson on commission. We ask about the house, the architecture, your timeline and what the roof has been doing wrong. If we are not the right company for the job, we will say so and tell you who is.

2. Site visit

   Step 2

   We walk the property with you and photograph every slope, valley, chimney and penetration. Inside, we inspect the attic for ventilation, insulation and any history of moisture, because most roof problems in Toronto start there.

3. Design & specification

   Step 3

   Material samples arrive at the house so you can see shingle, cedar or metal against your own brick and stone in your own light. We draw the flashing, valley, eave and ventilation details specific to your roof. Where structure or heritage status is involved, we bring in an engineer or heritage consultant at this stage.

4. Fixed-price proposal

   Step 4

   A single fixed price, itemised by material and labour, with the drawings attached. No allowances, no "subject to". Hidden deck damage is the only variable, and it is priced per sheet in advance and photographed before it is invoiced.

5. Permits & scheduling

   Step 5

   We prepare and submit City of Toronto building and heritage permit applications where required, and coordinate with your architect, landscaper and neighbours. You receive a written schedule with a start date we keep.

6. Property protection

   Step 6

   Plywood over stone steps and terraces, catch-netting over plantings, tarps over pools and vehicles relocated. We walk the property with you and photograph its condition.

7. Installation

   Step 7

   Work starts at 7:30 a.m. and the roof is dried in and weather-tight every evening before we go home. The property gets swept, run over with a magnet for stray nails and left tidy every single day, and you get regular photo updates while the work is under way.

8. Final walk-through

   Step 8

   We photograph the finished roof for your records and your insurer, then walk the property together against the pre-start photographs and correct anything that is not exactly right.

9. Warranty & care

   Step 9

   You receive your warranty package: our written workmanship warranty, the manufacturer's material warranty and the drawings for your roof.
