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 tuckpointing).
Vetting a Vaughan contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Vaughan 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
When's the best time of year for tuckpointing in Vaughan?
Late September through mid-November with Vaughan averaging 146cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
How much does tuckpointing cost in Vaughan?
Most Vaughan jobs land between $631 and $1,009. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,639. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
What warranty do you offer on tuckpointing in Vaughan?
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 tuckpointing covered by home insurance in Vaughan?
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 long does tuckpointing take in Vaughan?
1–2 days 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 Vaughan?
Yes. Condo boards in Vaughan 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.
