What to know before hiring a roofer in Moncton

Roofing is not a licensed trade in New Brunswick, so the company’s WorkSafeNB coverage, liability insurance and written warranty are what you are buying alongside the shingles. Never let anyone on the roof without confirming coverage; a fall on your property without it is your problem. Whether a re-roof needs a municipal building permit varies by city, so ask the roofer and check with the permit office.

A genuine repair quote names the failure point: flashing, a boot, a valley, a section of rotten deck. A quote that jumps straight to full replacement after a five-minute look, or that arrives unasked after a storm, deserves a second opinion. Financial and Consumer Services Commission (FCNB) publishes guidance on contractor contracts and deposits.

Moncton is the trades hub for southeastern New Brunswick, with cold snowy winters, periodic ice storms and a bilingual workforce. Post-war neighbourhoods in Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview are reaching the age where roofs, furnaces and electrical panels come due together.

Have this ready when you call

Questions to ask before booking

  1. Can you show me the exact failure point before quoting?
  2. Are your crews covered by workers’ compensation, and can I see the clearance?
  3. Is a permit needed, and who pulls it?
  4. What is the workmanship warranty, separate from the material warranty?
  5. What is the payment schedule, and how much is due before work starts?

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Moncton?

It depends on the municipality and on whether the deck or structure changes. Many cities exempt like-for-like re-roofing; some do not. Ask the roofer, then confirm with the Moncton permit office before signing.

How do I check a roofer’s insurance in New Brunswick?

Ask for a workers’ compensation clearance letter from WorkSafeNB and a certificate of liability insurance naming the company. Both can be verified with the issuer.

Should I pay a large deposit for roofing?

Materials deposits are normal; paying most of the job up front is not. Tie payments to milestones in a written contract, and hold back the final payment until the site is clean and you have the warranty in writing.

Can a roof leak be repaired, or does it always mean replacement?

Most leaks come from flashing, penetrations, valleys or a few damaged shingles and can be repaired. Replacement is the answer when the roof is near the end of its life or the deck is rotting, which a roofer should be able to show you.
