Vetting a New Tecumseth contractor

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.
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 vent repair / reroute).
Common questions
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 vent repair / reroute take in New Tecumseth?
2–4 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
How much does vent repair / reroute cost in New Tecumseth?

When's the best time of year for vent repair / reroute in New Tecumseth?
Late September through mid-November with New Tecumseth averaging 158cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in New Tecumseth?
Yes. Condo boards in New Tecumseth typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Do you need a permit for vent repair / reroute in New Tecumseth?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in New Tecumseth. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Is vent repair / reroute covered by home insurance in New Tecumseth?
