Vetting a Newmarket contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Newmarket 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 dryer vent cleaning).
Common questions
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Newmarket?
Yes. Condo boards in Newmarket 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 dryer vent cleaning in Newmarket?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Newmarket. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
When's the best time of year for dryer vent cleaning in Newmarket?
Late September through mid-November with Newmarket averaging 154cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Newmarket?
Most Newmarket jobs land between $150 and $241. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $391. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
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 warranty do you offer on dryer vent cleaning in Newmarket?
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.

Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Newmarket for most standard scopes.
How long does dryer vent cleaning take in Newmarket?
45–60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
