Compare systems, not just shingles
Two estimates may use a similar shingle but include different flashing, ventilation, disposal, or deck allowances. Compare each item so you can see what the total actually covers.

Scope, process & common questionsWhat should a roof replacement proposal explain?
A roof replacement proposal should explain why replacement is recommended, which roof sections are included, what will be removed, the new roofing system, and how concealed damage will be handled. For your Cloverdale, BC home, compare the same written scope before comparing totals.
RCABC recommends written roofing-system specifications, payment terms, details of reused components, and warranty terms. RCABC homeowner questions.
A complete roof, with a clear scope.
Replacing a roof is more than choosing a shingle colour. The existing covering, deck, water protection, flashing, and ventilation all need to be considered. We help you understand what is included, what can only be confirmed after removal, and how the work will be organized around your home.
Request assessmentWhen to ask about roof replacement
- Deterioration across several roof sections
- Recurring leaks and repeated patch repairs
- A roof history that suggests broader wear
- An inspection recommending a complete system review
From the first question to the next step
What the work involves.
- Step 1
Assess the existing system
Review the visible roof condition, pitch, junctions, and access. Identify what is known and what remains concealed beneath the current covering.
- Step 2
Choose the scope and finish
Discuss suitable materials, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and appearance together. Confirm the product specification and any exclusions in writing.
- Step 3
Plan removal and installation
Agree access, delivery locations, property protection, debris removal, and weather arrangements. Establish how unexpected deck repairs will be priced and authorized.
- Step 4
Review the handover
Ask for a walkthrough of the completed scope, cleanup, remaining maintenance needs, and the warranty documents applicable to the products and work agreed.
Make room for concealed conditions
The full condition of a covered deck may only become clear during removal. Decide in advance how photographs, additional pricing, and your approval will be handled.
What should your quote include?
Roof area, pitch, access, layers to remove, valleys, skylights, chimneys, and the chosen system affect the price. Ask whether disposal, site protection, taxes, and any deck allowance are included. A site-specific written quote is more useful than a generic price per roof.
- Full tear-off and deck inspection
- Underlayment, flashing and ventilation review
- Architectural shingle options
- Site protection and thorough cleanup
Agree the limits before work starts
The final schedule depends on the agreed scope, material availability, access, and weather. Structural alterations, interior repairs, gutters, and unrelated building work need their own agreed scope. Warranty duration and coverage must be confirmed for the actual products and installation; no blanket warranty term is stated here.
Use the quote checklistHow long will a replacement take?
That depends on the roof size, complexity, access, deck condition, and weather. Confirm an estimated schedule after assessment, including what happens if weather or concealed damage changes the plan.
Do I need to leave my home?
Discuss access and household needs before work begins. Roofing can involve noise, deliveries, and restricted areas around the building; arrangements depend on the property and the scope.
Is ventilation included?
Ventilation should be reviewed as part of the roof system. The quote needs to explain what is being retained or changed and which areas could be inspected, rather than relying on a general promise.
What happens if the deck is damaged?
Agree the procedure before removal: document the condition, explain the required repair, and obtain authorization for additional work. The original quote should state its assumptions and allowances.
