Why Roughley?

  1. Independent & family-owned since 1945—we work for you, not a single carrier.
  2. Designated account manager—a direct line to a real person, not a queue.
  3. In-house claims advocacy—guidance, documentation, and carrier follow-through.
  4. Ontario-wide service—local offices for walk-ins; phone, email, and secure digital tools anywhere.
For more than 80 years, we’ve helped Ontario households and businesses get the right coverage at the right price—with clear advice, quick responses, and in-house claims advocacy when it counts. If you’re a Commonwell member, you can keep your policy exactly where it is and choose how you’d like to work with. Important note: Your authorization today schedules the transfer for your renewal date. Until your renewal date, you’ll continue to work with your current broker. We’ll introduce ourselves ahead of renewal and be ready to serve you from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

When does the transfer take effect?

Your authorization today schedules the transfer for your policy renewal date. Before that date, your current broker continues to service your policy.

Who do I contact before renewal?

Please continue to contact your current broker until renewal. Roughley will introduce your designated account manager before the renewal date so your transition is seamless.

Will my coverage or price change now?

No. This authorization alone doesn’t change your coverage or price. At renewal, we’ll review options together and confirm what’s best for you.

How long does the process take?

Authorizing the transfer takes minutes. We’ll reach out before your renewal date to introduce your team and review your needs.

Can I change my mind?

Yes. You can cancel the Broker of Record appointment in writing at any time before the renewal date (or afterward, if you ever choose to change again).
