Licences pour Installation et réparation de gouttières en Ontario

Gutter installation is not a compulsory trade in Ontario. No specific licence is required. However, working at heights requires compliance with Ontario's Working at Heights training regulations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. WSIB coverage is strongly recommended due to the fall risk. Building permits are generally not required for gutter installation or replacement. Contractors should be familiar with the Ontario Building Code drainage requirements.

Ask for proof of Working at Heights training, WSIB coverage, and liability insurance.

(1) No WSIB coverage - gutter work involves ladder and height risks (2) Uses sectional gutters with many seams instead of seamless where appropriate (3) Does not check or repair fascia board condition before mounting new gutters (4) Improper slope causing water to pool in gutters instead of flowing to downspouts

(1) Do you carry WSIB coverage and liability insurance? (2) Will you install seamless gutters, and what gauge aluminum do you use? (3) What slope will you set, and how many downspouts are recommended for my roofline? (4) Will you inspect and repair the fascia board before installation? (5) What warranty do you offer on materials and workmanship?

Bien que cela ne soit pas exigé par la loi, il est fortement recommandé que les installation et réparation de gouttières détiennent une assurance responsabilité. Demandez une preuve de couverture avant d'embaucher.
