Vetting a Peterborough contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Peterborough 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 cleaning).
Common questions
What warranty do you offer on gutter cleaning in Peterborough?
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.
When's the best time of year for gutter cleaning in Peterborough?
Late September through mid-November with Peterborough averaging 129cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you need a permit for gutter cleaning in Peterborough?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Peterborough. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
How long does gutter cleaning take in Peterborough?
60–120 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
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.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Peterborough?
Yes. Condo boards in Peterborough typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
How much does gutter cleaning cost in Peterborough?
Most Peterborough jobs land between $217 and $348. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $565. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Is gutter cleaning covered by home insurance in Peterborough?
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.
