What a defensible quote looks like
Written scope with photos, itemised labour + materials, 30-day validity, WSIB and liability certificate attached, and named workmanship warranty (5 years is the current bar for inspection).
Vetting a Caledon contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Caledon references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Red flags on quotes
Verbal-only pricing, deposits above 20%, cash-only discounts, and unwillingness to itemise materials by brand are the top four. Any one is a pass.

How long does inspection take in Caledon?
45–60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.

Most Caledon jobs land between $143 and $229. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $372. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you offer same-day inspection in Caledon?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Caledon for most standard scopes.
What warranty do you offer on inspection in Caledon?
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.
When's the best time of year for inspection in Caledon?
Late September through mid-November with Caledon averaging 144cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you need a permit for inspection in Caledon?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Caledon. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Is inspection covered by home insurance in Caledon?
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.
