The Markham scheduling window
We aim to complete pre-winter roof cleaning on Markham homes by the last Saturday in October. Book by Labour Day for that window — after that we're scheduling against weather.

Late September through mid-November is the sweet spot: Markham averages 148cm of snow starting in December, so roof access closes fast. Spring bookings (April–May) are second-best and often 10–15% cheaper.
Common questions
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.

2–4 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you need a permit for roof cleaning in Markham?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Markham. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Do you offer same-day roof cleaning in Markham?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Markham for most standard scopes.
How much does roof cleaning cost in Markham?
Most Markham jobs land between $293 and $469. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $762. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.

Late September through mid-November with Markham averaging 148cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Is roof cleaning covered by home insurance in Markham?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
