Vetting a Richmond Hill contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Richmond Hill 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.
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 moss treatment).
Common questions
What warranty do you offer on moss treatment in Richmond Hill?
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.
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.
When's the best time of year for moss treatment in Richmond Hill?
Late September through mid-November with Richmond Hill averaging 150cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
How much does moss treatment cost in Richmond Hill?
Most Richmond Hill jobs land between $346 and $553. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $898. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Is moss treatment covered by home insurance in Richmond Hill?
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.
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 need a permit for moss treatment in Richmond Hill?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Richmond Hill. 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 moss treatment take in Richmond Hill?
3–4 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
