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 Scugog contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Scugog references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Common questions
Do you offer same-day roof cleaning in Scugog?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Scugog for most standard scopes.
Is roof cleaning covered by home insurance in Scugog?
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 roof cleaning in Scugog?
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 roof cleaning in Scugog?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Scugog. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
When's the best time of year for roof cleaning in Scugog?
Late September through mid-November with Scugog averaging 150cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Scugog?
Yes. Condo boards in Scugog typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
How much does roof cleaning cost in Scugog?
Most Scugog jobs land between $347 and $555. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $902. 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.
