How It Works

1. 1Tell us about your roofAnswer a few questions in the tool that fits: cost, problem, repair-or-replace, quotes in hand, or upload a photo to the roof preview and see a new roof on your home. No account, no phone number required to see results.
2. 2Get an estimate or assessmentOur deterministic pricing model and rule engines produce a range, cost drivers, urgency and a recommended next step. An AI model only reads photos or quote documents and only speaks in hedged observations; it never sets a price or issues a diagnosis.
3. 3Compare your optionsUse the repair-or-replace tool for 1, 5 and 10-year views, the material comparison for your own home, and the quote comparison to spot gaps before you sign.
4. 4Connect with one local roofer, if you askWhen you submit a request, we score it (homeowner, timing, project type, urgency, photos, contact details) and pass your summary to one verified local roofing partner whose service area, roof types and availability match — never a call list. If no verified partner is active for your area yet, your request is held in a manual queue and you are told so. Lifecycle is tracked: new, accepted, contacted, quote sent, won or lost.

Great Victoria Roofing is free for homeowners. A small number of local roofing companies support this site through a fixed annual exclusive partnership. That fee is fixed: it never changes the estimates, tool results or editorial content you see, and no partner pays per request. Three rules keep that honest:

• Partner fees are fixed and never change the numbers on this site. Estimates come from a published model you can read on the methodology page.
• We never rank a contractor as “best”. The quote-comparison tool applies only the criteria you can see.
• Nothing is shared unless you tick the box asking for contact, and we share with one provider, not a call list.

Roofing companies apply on the contractor page; we verify insurance, WorkSafeBC coverage and any RCABC membership before activating anyone.

After a request you receive a copy of your roof summary and, if you asked for a provider, a check-in within two days to confirm you were contacted; those two messages are part of responding to your request. Any further follow-up (one or two short emails over the next fortnight) is sent only if you ticked the optional follow-up box, and every message carries our legal identity, mailing address and an unsubscribe link.
