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 bird guard install).
Vetting a Ajax contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Ajax references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Common questions
Is bird guard install covered by home insurance in Ajax?
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 bird guard install in Ajax?
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.
Do you offer same-day bird guard install in Ajax?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Ajax for most standard scopes.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Ajax?
Yes. Condo boards in Ajax typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
How long does bird guard install take in Ajax?
45 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
How much does bird guard install cost in Ajax?
Most Ajax jobs land between $210 and $336. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $545. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
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.
