Common questions
What warranty do you offer on dryer vent cleaning in Oshawa?
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.
Is dryer vent cleaning covered by home insurance in Oshawa?
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.
When's the best time of year for dryer vent cleaning in Oshawa?
Late September through mid-November with Oshawa averaging 99cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Oshawa?
Most Oshawa jobs land between $168 and $269. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $438. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you offer same-day dryer vent cleaning in Oshawa?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Oshawa for most standard scopes.
Do you need a permit for dryer vent cleaning in Oshawa?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Oshawa. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
