How to Choose the Right Company for Your Markham Home
- Get 2-3 quotes. Pricing varies 30-50% between companies for the same home.
- Ask about water quality. In Markham, this matters more than almost anywhere else in the GTA.
- Check what's included. Screens, tracks, sills, and hard water removal are often add-ons that double the "starting from" price.
- Verify insurance. Ask for proof of $2M liability. This protects YOU if something goes wrong.
- Read Google reviews. Not website testimonials — Google reviews. Look for patterns, not individual reviews.
- Ask about guarantees. "We'll come back" means nothing without specifics. Ask: within how many days? At whose cost?
