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).
Vetting a Erin contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Erin 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.
Common questions
What warranty do you offer on dryer vent cleaning in Erin?
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 offer same-day dryer vent cleaning in Erin?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Erin for most standard scopes.
How long does dryer vent cleaning take in Erin?
45–60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you need a permit for dryer vent cleaning in Erin?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Erin. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
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 dryer vent cleaning in Erin?
Late September through mid-November with Erin averaging 127cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Is dryer vent cleaning covered by home insurance in Erin?
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.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Erin?
Yes. Condo boards in Erin typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
