# Roofing guides

Two guides from Straight Arrow Roofing & Siding, written for homeowners and free for anyone to use: which roofing jobs need a building permit in each of the seven municipalities we work in, quoted from each city's own page, and what the Government of Ontario says to check before you hire any roofer, from quotes and references to the 10-day cooling-off period.
