Roofing Insurance

When considering hiring a roofing contractor to perform work on your home or business, it’s crucial that you select a company with the appropriate insurance coverage in case something goes wrong (knock on wood).

Installing or repairing a roofing system for residential and commercial properties brings a certain amount of risk, to both the installation team and property owner. We are always happy to provide proof of insurance showing that our crews are fully protected in the event of an accident.

Insurance in the Roofing & Solar Industry is available in three (3) forms;

Liability Insurance

Liability insurance is imperative to cover any expenses related to third-party injuries and/or property damages. Not only that, insurance for roofing contractors is a requirement under Canadian Law.

WorkSafe Insurance

If contractors do not have their own WCB coverage, you may be required to provide it for them. This means if they get hurt on the job, you may be liable.

Job Insurance
The warranty your contractor offers you your project is important. If anything goes wrong in the future, make sure it’s covered. And if the warranty is insured, that offers you extra peace of mind.

If the contractor you’re dealing with can’t provide proof of insurance, it puts you at risk. DO NOT hire them. We’ve heard stories of homeowners getting sued for injuries occurring on their property due to contractors not providing insurance.

Promises of cheap rates, fast labour and even no taxes can be tempting… but in British Columbia, a province with the most expensive homes in the country, cutting corners on a roof can mean financial disaster. Cheaper usually doesn’t mean better.
