What changes the price

The request form asks these questions; businesses see your answers when they price the job.

What are you doing?: A repair, a renovation or an emergency repair are priced differently; an emergency also narrows who can come quickly.
Approximate size (sq ft): The approximate area of the roof or of the part to repair. A ballpark is fine; roofers measure on site.
Property: A house, a plex, a condo building or a commercial building changes access and rules (a condo, for example, needs the board's approval).
When was the building built?: Older buildings can hide surprises under the roofing that roofers price in.
Permits status: Asked for renovations: whether you already have a permit or the roofer should handle it.
How will materials be handled?: Whether the roofer supplies the materials or installs yours.

Your name, email, phone number and address are not shown to businesses before you choose an offer. The job site question asks only for a neighbourhood or city; only the business you choose receives your contact details.

What to check before you hire

In Québec, most construction work requires a licence from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ). Before you hire, look the business up in the RBQ licence holder directory and check that its licence is active and covers the work. RBQ licence holder directory.

Every offer carries one of three labels: "Licence verified" (Bidit has verified it), "Licence not yet verified by Bidit" or "No licence number provided". A business can make an offer before Bidit has verified it, so read the label before you choose.

Ask each roofer what the offer includes (removal of the old roofing, materials, disposal, cleanup) so you compare the same job.
Ask what warranty the roofer gives on the work and get it in writing.
