Common questions
How long does moss treatment take in Oakville?
3–4 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
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.
What warranty do you offer on moss treatment in Oakville?
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.
Do you need a permit for moss treatment 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 moss treatment 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.
How much does moss treatment cost in Oakville?
Most Oakville jobs land between $370 and $592. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $962. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you offer same-day moss treatment in Oakville?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Oakville for most standard scopes.
