When it comes to roofing, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the pressure of making quick decisions, especially after a major storm. Unfortunately, some roofing contractors know how to take advantage of that feeling. They’ll rush you into signing a contract or push for immediate repairs without explaining exactly what’s involved. At Summit Roofers, we believe in a different approach: a clear, no-pressure process where you fully understand the scope of work before any work begins.
Roof repairs or replacement are significant investments, and you deserve a roofing contractor who respects that. Here’s how to make sure you’re getting exactly what you need—without the stress of being rushed or caught off guard by hidden costs.
After a hailstorm or other roofing emergency, it’s tempting to act quickly—especially if your roof has sustained visible damage. But rushing into a decision can lead to overspending, poor choices, or a subpar job.
Why it matters: A roofing contractor who pressures you for a decision is often more interested in making a quick sale than ensuring the job is done right. You should never feel rushed to sign anything or start repairs without understanding exactly what’s being done and why.
Summit Roofers Approach: We give you the time you need to assess your options. Our free consultations include a full roof inspection, a detailed explanation of what repairs or replacements are needed, and a clear breakdown of costs. We’ll answer any questions you have—no pressure, no rush.
One of the biggest frustrations homeowners face is being hit with unexpected costs or work that wasn’t initially discussed. Whether it's additional repairs or a last-minute change in the scope of work, unclear communication can quickly turn an affordable job into a budget nightmare.
Why it matters: Understanding exactly what you're paying for ensures that you're not blindsided with hidden costs. You should know what repairs are included, how long the job will take, and what the final result will look like.
Summit Roofers Transparency: We believe in complete transparency. When you hire us, we’ll walk you through every detail of the project, from the materials we’ll use to the labor involved. Our written estimates are clear and comprehensive, so you know the exact scope of work you're signing off on. If we encounter any additional issues while working on your roof, we’ll discuss them with you immediately—there are no surprises when you choose Summit Roofers.
A reputable roofing company should provide a written contract that clearly outlines the scope of the project, costs, materials, and timeline. This protects you as a homeowner and ensures the contractor stays accountable for their work.
Why it matters: Without a written agreement, it’s easy for things to go wrong. A verbal agreement or vague contract leaves room for misunderstandings and potential disputes over what was agreed upon.
Summit Roofers Guarantee: Every project we take on comes with a detailed written contract that covers everything—materials, labor, timeline, and costs. We ensure that everything is clearly outlined before we start any work, so you’re always in the loop. Our commitment to transparency extends to our warranties, so you can rest assured that any work done by Summit Roofers is backed by a solid guarantee.
After a storm, some roofing contractors from out of town will appear, offering quick fixes and "too-good-to-be-true" prices. These contractors often leave once the job is done, leaving homeowners with poor-quality repairs or a roof that requires even more work.
Why it matters: A reliable, local contractor like Summit Roofers has a vested interest in maintaining a long-term reputation. We live in Calgary, and we’re here for the long haul.
Summit Roofers Commitment: As a family-owned, locally-operated business, we’ve built our reputation on providing high-quality roofing services and honest, reliable workmanship. We’re not going anywhere—we’re invested in the community and here to stay. When you choose Summit Roofers, you're choosing a team that cares about your home as much as you do.
Don’t settle for anything less than a licensed, insured, and certified contractor. A reputable roofing company will have the proper credentials and offer warranties that give you peace of mind for years to come.
Why it matters: Working with an unlicensed or uninsured contractor can leave you responsible for any accidents, damages, or issues that arise during the job. Make sure your contractor is fully licensed and insured to protect your home and your investment.
Summit Roofers Assurance: We’re fully licensed, insured, and covered by WCB (Workers' Compensation Board). We stand behind our work with industry-leading warranties on both labor and materials. If anything goes wrong after the job is complete, we’re just a phone call away.
Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home, and it’s essential to hire a roofing contractor who treats it as such. At Summit Roofers, we’re not here to rush you into a decision or push unnecessary work—we’re here to give you the knowledge and confidence you need to make the right choices for your home.
