In Quebec, all roofing contractors must hold an active RBQ (Régie du bâtiment du Québec) licence. You can verify any contractor’s licence at rbq.gouv.qc.ca. Beyond the mandatory licence, look for: BBB accreditation, established local history (5+ years in the Gatineau-Ottawa market), proof of liability insurance, and written estimates with itemized scope and warranty terms.

Red Flags When Hiring a Metal Roofer in the Outaouais
Avoid contractors who: cannot provide an RBQ licence number for verification; provide verbal-only quotes; pressure you to sign immediately; cannot show insurance certificates; have no local address or verifiable history; or are ‘passing through’ the area following a storm event. Always request a written estimate and verify the RBQ licence before signing anything.
