What a defensible quote looks like
Written scope with photos, itemised labour + materials, 30-day validity, WSIB and liability certificate attached, and named workmanship warranty (5 years is the current bar for liner install).
Vetting a Erin contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Erin references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Red flags on quotes
Verbal-only pricing, deposits above 20%, cash-only discounts, and unwillingness to itemise materials by brand are the top four. Any one is a pass.
Common questions
What warranty do you offer on liner install in Erin?
Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
Is liner install covered by home insurance in Erin?
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.
Do you need a permit for liner install in Erin?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Erin. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
How long does liner install take in Erin?
1 day is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you offer same-day liner install in Erin?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Erin for most standard scopes.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Erin?
Yes. Condo boards in Erin typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
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.
