Vetting a Guelph contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Guelph 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 gutter guards).
Common questions
Do you offer same-day gutter guards in Guelph?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Guelph for most standard scopes.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Guelph?
Yes. Condo boards in Guelph typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.

Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.

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.
