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 roof cleaning).
Common questions
How much does roof cleaning cost in Aurora?
Most Aurora jobs land between $299 and $478. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $777. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you offer same-day roof cleaning in Aurora?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Aurora for most standard scopes.
How long does roof cleaning take in Aurora?
2–4 hrs 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 roof cleaning 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.
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.
What warranty do you offer on roof cleaning 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.
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 need a permit for roof cleaning 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.
