When water starts dripping or shingles blow off in a storm, it’s natural to want a quick fix. But when it comes to roofing—especially in Ontario’s unpredictable climate—rushing a decision can cost you thousands.
At Garcia Roofing, we’ve seen firsthand how slowing down, asking the right questions, and comparing quotes can make the difference between a fair investment and unnecessary overspending.
A Real Story: How One Client Saved Thousands
Recently, a local property owner contacted a competitor about what seemed like a minor roofing issue. The contractor inspected the roof and quickly claimed it needed a full replacement.
The client was pressured into leaving a $2,000 deposit—without even knowing the final cost. When the full price was revealed at over $18,000, the client called Garcia Roofing for a second opinion.
Our certified team inspected the roof, provided a transparent assessment, and delivered a better price—even if the client couldn’t recover their initial deposit.
The lesson? Don’t panic. Always get more than one opinion.
Why Fall Is a Risky Time to Rush Roofing Decisions
Fall is one of the busiest times for Ontario roofing contractors. With winter around the corner, many companies try to fill their schedules—and some unfortunately pressure property owners into quick, expensive commitments.
This seasonal “frenzy” can lead to:
- Inflated quotes
- High-pressure sales tactics
- Rushed workmanship
- Deposits taken without transparency
While urgent repairs sometimes can’t wait, full roof replacements rarely need to be decided on the spot.
How to Protect Yourself as a Property Owner
Slowing down and doing your homework makes all the difference. Garcia Roofing recommends:
1. Get At Least Three Quotes
Compare pricing, timelines, and materials side by side. Look for clear breakdowns.
2. Check Certifications and Training
Certified contractors meet higher standards and often provide access to extended warranties.

3. Look for Strong Reviews
Reputation matters. Ask for references or browse verified reviews.
4. Beware of High Deposits
Reasonable deposits are standard, but never agree to large upfront amounts without a signed contract.

A trustworthy contractor will take time to explain their recommendations.
