Vetting a Aurora contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Aurora 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 dryer vent cleaning).
Common questions
What warranty do you offer on dryer vent cleaning in Aurora?
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 service condos and heritage homes in Aurora?
Yes. Condo boards in Aurora typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
How long does dryer vent cleaning take in Aurora?
45–60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Aurora?
Most Aurora jobs land between $149 and $238. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $387. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Is dryer vent cleaning covered by home insurance in Aurora?
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.
When's the best time of year for dryer vent cleaning in Aurora?
Late September through mid-November with Aurora averaging 152cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you need a permit for dryer vent cleaning in Aurora?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Aurora. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
