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 roof cleaning).
Vetting a Newmarket contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Newmarket references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Common questions
How long does roof cleaning take in Newmarket?
2–4 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Is roof cleaning covered by home insurance in Newmarket?
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 Newmarket?
Yes. Condo boards in Newmarket typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Do you offer same-day roof cleaning in Newmarket?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Newmarket for most standard scopes.
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.
What warranty do you offer on roof cleaning in Newmarket?
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.
How much does roof cleaning cost in Newmarket?
Most Newmarket jobs land between $302 and $483. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $785. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
