Do you need a permit for roof repair in Guelph?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Guelph. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.

2–5 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.

Most Guelph jobs land between $467 and $747. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,214. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Guelph?
Yes. Condo boards in Guelph typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
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.
