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 ice dam prevention).
Vetting a New Tecumseth contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two New Tecumseth references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
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.
What warranty do you offer on ice dam prevention in New Tecumseth?
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.
Is ice dam prevention covered by home insurance in New Tecumseth?
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.
Do you offer same-day ice dam prevention in New Tecumseth?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside New Tecumseth for most standard scopes.
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 ice dam prevention 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.
How long does ice dam prevention take in New Tecumseth?
3–5 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
How much does ice dam prevention cost in New Tecumseth?
Most New Tecumseth jobs land between $391 and $625. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,016. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
