Useful questions. Clearer next steps.
These answers are general guidance for Alberta homeowners—not a quote, site inspection, insurance opinion, or professional diagnosis. A contractor can assess your specific situation directly.
Know what to ask before a roofing connection.
Should I request a repair, replacement, or inspection?
If you are unsure, an inspection is often a sensible starting point. Explain the roof’s approximate age, any active leak, visible damage, and whether the problem has happened before.
What should I photograph?
Photograph visible exterior damage and interior water staining only if it is safe to do so. Do not climb onto a roof, reveal personal documents, or include unnecessary identifying information.
What belongs in a roofing quote?
Ask about scope, materials, labour, disposal, timing, permits where relevant, exclusions, warranty information, deposits, and how unforeseen issues will be discussed before extra work begins.
What should I ask about coverage and contracts?
Ask the contractor directly about applicable licensing, liability insurance, WCB position, written scope, warranties, payment timing, cancellation terms, and change-order practice. Review any agreement before signing.
What if the roof issue feels urgent?
Describe the urgency clearly. For immediate danger, fire, structural collapse, or electrical risk, contact emergency services or the appropriate emergency professional instead of waiting for a referral.
One clear request is a better place to start.
