How to Choose a Good Roofer in Quebec

Entrusting your roof to the wrong contractor can be costly. Shoddy work, surprise charges, unanswered calls — here are the criteria for recognizing a trustworthy roofer in Quebec.

RBQ Licence and Insurance

In Quebec, a roofing contractor must hold a licence from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ). You should also verify that they carry adequate liability insurance. These two requirements protect you if anything goes wrong.

A Clear, Written Quote

A good roofer takes the time to inspect your roof and provides a written, itemized quote: materials, scope of work, and timeline. Be wary of prices given "off the cuff" or quotes that seem unusually low.

Reputation and Warranties

Ask for references, read reviews, and ask about the warranties offered (both labour and materials). A contractor who stands behind their work has no hesitation putting their warranties in writing.
