Vetting a Pickering contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Pickering 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 moss treatment).
Common questions
When's the best time of year for moss treatment in Pickering?
Late September through mid-November with Pickering averaging 127cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you offer same-day moss treatment in Pickering?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Pickering for most standard scopes.
What warranty do you offer on moss treatment in Pickering?
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 moss treatment cost in Pickering?
Most Pickering jobs land between $384 and $614. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $998. 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.
Is moss treatment covered by home insurance in Pickering?
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 Pickering?
Yes. Condo boards in Pickering typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
