Freeze-thaw

Vetting a Richmond Hill contractor

Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Richmond Hill 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 gutter cleaning).

Common questions

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.

How long does gutter cleaning take in Richmond Hill?

60–120 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.

Do you service condos and heritage homes in Richmond Hill?

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

What warranty do you offer on gutter cleaning in Richmond Hill?

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.

Do you need a permit for gutter cleaning in Richmond Hill?

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

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 gutter cleaning covered by home insurance in Richmond Hill?

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.

How much does gutter cleaning cost in Richmond Hill?

Most Richmond Hill jobs land between $187 and $299. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $486. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
