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 inspection).
Vetting a Brock contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Brock references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Common questions
How long does inspection take in Brock?
45–60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Brock?
Yes. Condo boards in Brock typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
When's the best time of year for inspection in Brock?
Late September through mid-November with Brock averaging 152cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
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 inspection in Brock?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Brock. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Do you offer same-day inspection in Brock?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Brock for most standard scopes.
Is inspection covered by home insurance in Brock?
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 warranty do you offer on inspection in Brock?
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.
