Before starting this company I always wondered how to estimate a roof work cost.

How to estimate a roof work cost

Here is how to make sure your quote is the right one:

1. Always look at the facts
   • Did they explain why they want to charge you a certain amount? Did you ask for a detailed explanation breaking down why the costs are so high?

This is part of our values as the company that wants to keep Montréal’s roofs clean and safe.
