About GCT Expert

An independent second opinion before you sign.

GCT Expert is a Canadian independent documentary review service for roofing contractor quotes. We help homeowners and condominium boards across Quebec, Ontario and the rest of Canada understand exactly what they are signing before committing to a roofing contract — with no contractor affiliation and no commission of any kind.

Why independence matters

Every roofing contractor in Canada has a financial interest in your decision. GCT Expert has none. We receive no referral fees, no contractor commissions, and no payment from any supplier or manufacturer. Our only revenue comes from homeowners and boards who pay directly for an independent second opinion. This structural independence is what makes our analysis useful. We flag what is missing, vague, or overpriced in a quote without any concern for contractor relationships.

What we review

Every review includes a structured read of the full quote document, identification of documentary risk areas, plain-language explanation of technical terminology, a Fair Price assessment based on current Canadian regional market rates, and a specific list of questions to ask your contractor before signing. For comparative reviews, we line up 2 to 5 quotes side by side — materials, warranties, exclusions, payment terms — so hidden gaps of $3,000 to $8,000 become visible in plain sight.

Canadian coverage with Quebec and Ontario expertise

GCT Expert serves homeowners and condominium boards across Canada, with deep expertise in Quebec and Ontario provincial requirements: In Quebec: RBQ licensing requirements (roofing sub-category 1.1.1), legal construction hypothec (hypothèque légale) protections, legal warranty (garantie légale) under Civil Code article 2118, and the distinction between a firm price (prix ferme) and an estimate. In Ontario: WSIB coverage verification, Construction Act holdback requirements, Ontario Condominium Act compliance for board decisions, and Consumer Protection Act cancellation rights for door-to-door contracts. Elsewhere in Canada: we review quotes against the same documentary, pricing and contractual standards, and flag the provincial licensing and consumer-protection bodies that apply in your region. All reviews are delivered in French or English within 24 business hours. Documents in either language are accepted.

For condominium boards

Condo boards and property managers face a fiduciary duty to co-owners when approving major roofing expenditures. GCT Expert's Condo Board and Trustee File provides a written Independence Declaration — documented proof that the reviewer has no financial relationship with any contractor reviewed — suitable for presentation at your assembly of co-owners. Board packages include a Final Board Report, comparative quote analysis, board decision summary, and a 30-minute virtual presentation of findings.
