Vetting a New Tecumseth contractor

Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two New Tecumseth 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 flashing repair).

Common questions

When's the best time of year for flashing repair in New Tecumseth?

Late September through mid-November with New Tecumseth averaging 158cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

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.

Do you need a permit for flashing repair in New Tecumseth?

Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in New Tecumseth. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.

Do you service condos and heritage homes in New Tecumseth?

Yes. Condo boards in New Tecumseth typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.

How much does flashing repair cost in New Tecumseth?

Most New Tecumseth jobs land between $335 and $536. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $871. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.

What warranty do you offer on flashing repair in New Tecumseth?

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 flashing repair covered by home insurance in New Tecumseth?

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.

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.
