Before you hire a roofer in Ontario
No. Roofing is not a compulsory trade in Ontario, so there is no licence to verify - which makes insurance and WSIB coverage the checks that matter.
WSIB clearance certificate
The most important document in this trade. Ask for a current certificate and confirm it names the company doing your work, not a subcontractor you have never met. It should be dated within the last 90 days.
Verify with: WSIB clearance certificates can be validated online by the account number.
Check High Skillz Roofing Inc | Richmond hill on the official registerGeneral liability insurance
Two million dollars minimum for residential roofing. Request the certificate of insurance directly from the broker rather than a photocopy, and confirm the policy is current.
Manufacturer shingle certification
Optional but meaningful. Manufacturers certify installers, and certification is what unlocks the extended system warranty. Without it you have a material warranty only, which covers far less than most homeowners assume.
Municipal business licence
Some Ontario municipalities require one. Not universal, but easy to ask about.
Questions worth asking
- Can I see a current WSIB clearance certificate and your liability certificate of insurance?
- Is this a full tear-off, or shingling over the existing layer? (Overlays are cheaper and shorten roof life.)
- How much ice and water shield is included, and how far up from the eave?
- Are you certified by the shingle manufacturer, and does this quote include the system warranty or only the material warranty?
- What happens if you find rotten decking? What is the per-sheet price, and will you show me before replacing it?
