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 vent repair / reroute).
Vetting a King contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two King references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Common questions

Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.

Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
How long does vent repair / reroute take in King?
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 vent repair / reroute in King?
Late September through mid-November with King averaging 156cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside King for most standard scopes.
Is vent repair / reroute covered by home insurance in King?
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.
