Vetting a Aurora contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Aurora 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.
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 emergency tarp).
Common questions
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Aurora?
Yes. Condo boards in Aurora typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Do you offer same-day emergency tarp in Aurora?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Aurora for most standard scopes.
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.
Is emergency tarp covered by home insurance in Aurora?
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 emergency tarp in Aurora?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Aurora. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
What warranty do you offer on emergency tarp in Aurora?
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.
How long does emergency tarp take in Aurora?
60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
When's the best time of year for emergency tarp in Aurora?
Late September through mid-November with Aurora averaging 152cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
