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).
Vetting a Uxbridge contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Uxbridge references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Common questions
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.
How long does gutter cleaning take in Uxbridge?
60–120 min 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 gutter cleaning in Uxbridge?
Late September through mid-November with Uxbridge averaging 148cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
What warranty do you offer on gutter cleaning in Uxbridge?
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 Uxbridge?
Yes. Condo boards in Uxbridge typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Do you offer same-day gutter cleaning in Uxbridge?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Uxbridge for most standard scopes.
Is gutter cleaning covered by home insurance in Uxbridge?
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.
Do you need a permit for gutter cleaning in Uxbridge?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Uxbridge. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
