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.
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.
Do you offer same-day roof cleaning in Waterloo?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Waterloo for most standard scopes.
When's the best time of year for roof cleaning in Waterloo?
Late September through mid-November with Waterloo averaging 113cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
How much does roof cleaning cost in Waterloo?
Most Waterloo jobs land between $320 and $512. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $832. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
What warranty do you offer on roof cleaning in Waterloo?
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.
Do you need a permit for roof cleaning in Waterloo?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Waterloo. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Is roof cleaning covered by home insurance in Waterloo?
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.
