Common questions
Do you offer same-day dryer vent cleaning in Markham?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Markham for most standard scopes.
Do you need a permit for dryer vent cleaning in Markham?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Markham. 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 Markham?
Late September through mid-November with Markham averaging 148cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
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.
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Markham?
Most Markham jobs land between $146 and $234. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $380. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Is dryer vent cleaning covered by home insurance in Markham?
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 dryer vent cleaning in Markham?
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.
