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 wett inspection).
Vetting a Brantford contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Brantford references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Common questions
How long does wett inspection take in Brantford?
60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you offer same-day wett inspection in Brantford?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Brantford for most standard scopes.
Is wett inspection covered by home insurance in Brantford?
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.
What warranty do you offer on wett inspection in Brantford?
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.
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.
When's the best time of year for wett inspection in Brantford?
Late September through mid-November with Brantford averaging 115cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
