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 ice dam prevention).
Vetting a Caledon contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Caledon 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
Do you need a permit for ice dam prevention in Caledon?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Caledon. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.

3–5 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you offer same-day ice dam prevention in Caledon?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Caledon 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.
When's the best time of year for ice dam prevention in Caledon?
Late September through mid-November with Caledon averaging 144cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

What warranty do you offer on ice dam prevention in Caledon?
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.
