Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I need a full replacement or just a repair?
At Skorpio Roofing Group, we believe in honesty over a quick sale. During our inspection, we look for key indicators: if more than 30% of your roof is damaged, or if you have consistent leaks in multiple areas, a replacement is usually more cost-effective. However, if the issue is localized (like a single damaged vent or a few missing shingles), we will always recommend a repair to extend the life of your roof. Our family’s goal is to protect your home, not your wallet.
How long does a typical roofing project take?
Most residential roofs in the GTA can be completed in 1 to 2 days, depending on the size and complexity. We know having workers at your home can be disruptive, so we arrive early and work efficiently to ensure your life returns to normal as quickly as possible. We don’t leave the site until it is clean and your family is safe.
Why do you recommend IKO products?
As a local business, we trust IKO because they are a Canadian company that designs products specifically for our harsh winters. From the high-wind resistance of the Dynasty line to the hail protection of the Nordic series, IKO provides the durability our neighbors in Scarborough and the GTA need.
Are you insured and licensed to work in Toronto and the GTA?
Absolutely. For your peace of mind and ours, we are fully insured with Liability Insurance and WSIB coverage. Working with an uninsured contractor is a huge risk for a homeowner; with Skorpio Roofing Group, you can rest easy knowing that every person on your roof is protected and professional.
What is an "Ice Dam" and can you fix it?
Ice dams are a major issue in Ontario. They happen when heat escapes your attic, melts the snow on your roof, and the water refreezes at the cold eaves. This creates a "dam" that forces water under your shingles. Yes, we can help! We specialize in upgrading attic ventilation and installing premium Ice & Water shields to prevent this from happening.
Do I need to be home while you work?
It’s not necessary for you to be home, as all our work is performed on the exterior. However, we do ask that you keep your driveway clear and ensure pets are kept indoors for their safety. We will keep you updated via text or phone calls throughout the day with progress photos.
How do I get an estimate, and is it really free?
Yes, our estimates are 100% free with no obligation. We provide a detailed digital proposal through Roofr, showing you exactly what materials we will use and the different tiers of protection available for your budget. No hidden fees, no surprises.
