Written for people thinking about the trade, not for people selling a franchise.
Blowing insulation, sealing ceilings, fitting baffles, removing material that has failed. Attics in July at 50 °C and attics in January at −10. You are in a mask, in confined space, on your knees, for most of the day. It is dusty and it is physical and nobody should take it up under any other impression.
Not strength. The people who are good at this trade are the ones who care whether the depth is even at the eaves when nobody is ever going to look. The attic perimeter is hard to reach, it is where performance is won or lost, and it is the first thing a rushed installer skips. That is the whole difference between a job that works and a job that looks finished.
After that: reliability. In a trade where two people do the whole job, one person not turning up is the entire day.
It is not a sales job. We do not use commissioned salespeople, and the person who goes up into the attic is not paid more for coming back down with a removal on the quote. If that model is what you are looking for, this is not the company.
It is also not seasonal in the way people assume. The mix shifts — more removals and remediation in spring, more rebate work in autumn — but it does not stop.
Ontario's building stock is old, its energy programmes come and go on political cycles, and the work is fundamentally counter-cyclical: when energy prices rise, demand rises. The constraint on this industry is not demand, it is people who will do the job properly at the eaves. If you are considering the trade as a career rather than a stopgap, that is the honest picture.
