A price isn't the whole picture

What would you ask before signing?

Select “Show the review”, or any marked line on the quote, to see the questions a line-by-line check brings to the surface.

On your quote: the review marks every line like these, says why it matters, and writes out the question to put to the contractor.

“As required” leaves a question.

The material is mentioned. The amount and the coverage are not.

Ask: how many rows of ice and water shield, installed where, and does it meet the eaves minimum? Get that scope written into the price.

A missing line can become an extra.

There's no amount, and nothing in writing, for the bin, hauling or dump fees. On a re-roof like this that's roughly $600–900.

Ask: does the total include the bin, hauling and dump fees? Get the answer into the written scope before you agree to the price.

Understand the payment commitment.

This sample asks for $9,450, half the job, the day the contract is signed, and gives no start or completion date.

Ask: what does the deposit cover, what finished work triggers each later payment, and when does the job start and finish? In Nova Scotia, 10–25% up front is normal.

  1. Ice & water shield "as required": how many rows? Eaves code minimum, flashing, vents and drip edge, each on its own line. Pin it down before you sign.

  2. One lump sum, no line items: you can't compare what you can't see itemized. Every opening priced, with what's included — flashing, trim, disposal.

  3. Structural work usually needs a permit. "You don't need one for that" is a red flag, and so is no start and completion date for the job.

  4. No line for disposal or dump fees: who pays? That's roughly $600–900 missing from a re-roof, and it shows up as an extra later.

  5. Deposit over 25%, no sales tax shown, no proof of insurance or WCB, no written contract: four of the eight red flags, and not one of them shows up in the price.
