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.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Oakville?
Yes. Condo boards in Oakville typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
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 long does gutter cleaning take in Oakville?
60–120 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you need a permit for gutter cleaning in Oakville?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Oakville. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Is gutter cleaning covered by home insurance in Oakville?
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 gutter cleaning in Oakville?
Late September through mid-November with Oakville averaging 119cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you offer same-day gutter cleaning in Oakville?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Oakville for most standard scopes.
