A roofer's website that shows the roof up close, from flashing to ridge
A roofer's website in Quebec shows the RBQ licence number, names the roof types the company installs (shingles, metal, flat roof membrane), features close-up photos of flashing and seams, and offers a quote form where the homeowner uploads photos of the roof taken from the ground. Warranties are stated as they are, with the manufacturer's coverage kept apart from the workmanship warranty. OKTO Solutions builds this kind of website for roofing contractors across Quebec from its office in Trois-Rivières.

Which RBQ licence does a roofer need to show, and where?
Roofing falls under RBQ subclass 7.0, Insulation, waterproofing, roofing and siding. It covers membrane flat roofs, shingles and tiles on sloped roofs, and the sheet metal and flashing that go with them. The Régie du bâtiment asks that the licence number appear on the company website and social media, and also on quotes, contracts, invoices and lettered trucks heading to job sites. On the website, it belongs in the footer, with a link to the RBQ licence registry. A homeowner can then see that your licence actually includes subclass 7.0 and not just another trade. Have your licence display checked by the RBQ or your advisor.
How do you present roofing warranties without promising more than you give?
Homeowners often mix up two warranties. The manufacturer's covers the shingles, metal or membrane, under conditions written in its own document. The contractor's covers the installation. The website keeps them apart and states, for each one, what is covered and for how long, exactly as your paperwork says. A link to the manufacturer's sheet works better than a vague line like lifetime warranty. Same caution with rebates: the Quebec government's Rénoclimat program does not fund replacing a roof covering, even though roof insulation can qualify. Saying so plainly on the website avoids a disappointed client later. Have your warranty wording reviewed by your advisor.
Which roof photos help sell the job and prepare the quote?
A wide shot shows the roof is new. A close-up shows it was done right: chimney flashing, a valley, a standing seam, ridge venting. Those details are what set a careful roofer apart. For quotes, the form asks for photos taken from the ground or a window, never from the roof itself. Nobody should climb a ladder just to get a price. With the rough age of the roof and where water is getting in, the estimator knows what to look for on arrival. Drones give great overall views, but a drone weighing 250 g or more must be registered with Transport Canada, and the pilot needs the certificate that matches the operation. Check the flight rules with Transport Canada.
What a roofer's website should include
| Element | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| RBQ licence with subclass 7.0 | Homeowners check the registry to confirm the licence covers roofing. |
| One page per roof type you install | People search for shingles, metal and flat roofs with different words. |
| Close-ups of flashing, valleys and seams | A roofer is judged on finishing work, not on a facade shot from the street. |
| Manufacturer and workmanship warranties, kept apart | Clients know what is covered and by whom, with no vague promises. |
| Quote request with photos taken from the ground | The estimator prepares the visit and nobody climbs a roof for nothing. |

FAQ
Frequently asked questions: Roofing
Which RBQ licence subclass covers roofing work?
Subclass 7.0, Insulation, waterproofing, roofing and siding. It includes membrane flat roofs, shingles and tiles, and roof sheet metal and flashing. Check your own licence in the RBQ registry before you display it.
Can I use drone photos on my roofing company's website?
Yes. A drone weighing 250 g or more must be registered with Transport Canada, and its pilot needs the certificate suited to the operation. Ask the homeowner before publishing their house too, especially if the address can be guessed from the photo.
My schedule fills up all at once in spring. Can the website spread out requests?
Yes. The site can invite people to request their quote in the fall or winter for next summer's work, and keep a separate page for leaks and storm repairs. You change the home page message with the season without rebuilding anything.
Is Toitures Faîtage a real company?
No. Toitures Faîtage is a demo site with a made-up brand, text and images. OKTO Solutions built it to show what a roofer's website can do: a logo that assembles like a roof going on and markers on project photos that point out each metal seam.
How much does a site like these cost, and how long does it take to go live?
The price is set after a no-commitment scoping meeting, based on the number of pages, the languages, the copy to write and features like booking or an online store. A simple showcase site goes live quickly; an online store or a client portal takes longer. If you have a fixed date, we build the schedule around it.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The domain name is registered in your name, the copy, images and analytics are yours, and the code is handed over on request.
