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 King contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two King references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Common questions
How much does bird guard install cost in King?
Most King jobs land between $193 and $308. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $501. 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.
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.
Is bird guard install covered by home insurance in King?
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 King?
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.
Do you need a permit for bird guard install in King?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in King. 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 bird guard install take in King?
45 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you offer same-day bird guard install in King?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside King for most standard scopes.
