The Trusted Saskatoon Directory team is ecstatic to announce our latest Trusted Saskatoon partner in the Saskatoon Window, Door & glass category. Wiebe Windows & More is a Trusted Saskatoon window and door company
“A View You Can Trust”
Owner, Bradley Wiebe has been in the window and door business for over a decade and when the Trusted Saskatoon Team spoke with him about why he branched out on his own this is what he had to say:
“I always knew I would be a business owner, when I was younger I always talked and dreamed about all these businesses I would have! Then when I entered the workforce I wanted to gain the skills and experience I needed to do so and when the timing was right it would happen. I’ve been a business owner for over 10 years and could not imagine things being any other way. I love being able to work with my clients to first gain a relationship with them and then second see their smile after I complete their job! That’s the most rewarding part of owning my own company.”
Bradley believes in supporting the community and has volunteered to coach his sons' hockey teams in previous years and has volunteered for the Mending Little Hearts Fund of Saskatchewan. The Mending Little Hearts Fund is a designated fund through the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation that designates it's funding to supporting heart families and pediatric cardiology right here in Saskatchewan! Bradley knows a young boy, William who had open heart surgery in 2016 and understands how important it is to support this great cause.

A recent client Leanna shared her Wiebe Window experience with us, it really does showcase why he is an ideal Trusted Saskatoon business.
"I have been wanting to get renovations done in my home for many years. When I was put in touch with Brad I was very grateful! I was impressed with his knowledge about what I needed repairing and his recommendations on the best way to do it. I told him my budget and with the choices, we made together we actually spent less! Brad was always communicating with me in regards to when and what he would be working on and the timeframe it would take. Brad installed new interior doors, casing, baseboards and helped fix some electrical issues that I had. Whenever Brad was at my place working he always cleaned up before he left. My house looks completely different and I know that Brad added value to my home. I would highly recommend him to anyone and that is why I nominated him to trustedsaskatoon.com. I look forward to having him back to do some more work at my house in the near future!"

The decision to purchase your home is one of the most important decisions you will ever make, and will also be one of your largest investments.

Kari Calder a saskatoon Realtor with Century 21 Fusion is there to help you through the process, and provide you and your family with the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you have a realtor working with your best interests in mind. In Kari's latest real estate tip Kari explains the tax implications of selling your home. Kari Calder is a Trusted Saskatoon Real Estate Agent!
In 2017, Finance Minister at the time Bill Morneau introduced changes to the current tax model around selling your primary residence. This, along with the new mortgage rules is an attempt to ensure foreign investors abide by our current tax laws. Although these changes are focused on foreign investors, the changes will also have an effect on those Canadians who inadvertently did not pay tax when selling their principal residence.
Disposing of your principal residence
When you sell your home or when you are considered to have sold it, usually you do not have to pay tax on any gain from the sale because of the principal residence exemption. This is the case if the property was solely your principal residence for every year you owned it.
Reporting the sale of your principal residence
If you sold your property in 2021 and it was your principal residence you have to report the sale and designate the property on Schedule 3, Capital Gains (or Losses). In addition, you also have to complete. page 1 of Form T2091 if the property you sold was your principal residence for all the years you owned it, or for all years except one year, being the year in which you replaced your principal residence.
You have to report the sale.
For the sale of a principal residence in 2016 and subsequent years, the CRA will only allow the principal residence exemption if you report the disposition and designation of your principal residence on your income tax and benefit return. If you forget to make this designation in the year of the disposition, it is very important to ask the CRA to amend your income tax return for that year. The CRA will be able to accept a late designation in certain circumstances, but a penalty may apply.
Here’s another important part to note. If you fail to report the sale, you won’t be entitled to the principal residence tax exemption. If you forget to designate a property as your principal residence in the year of the sale, you could ask CRA to amend your tax return for that year. They likely will do so for a fee.
The onus is placed on the homeowner to understand the rules. What can you do going forward?
- Ensure you’re filling out a Form T2091 to designate a property as your principal residence.
- Talk to your accountant if you have any questions about whether or not your real estate sale was considered the sale of a principal residence (for example, adding or removing a suite to the home you live in may require you to report even if you haven’t sold)
- You’ll also want to track the cost of capital improvements you make to your residence going forward. Keep your receipts! This could save you money later on taxes if it turns out the sale of your property is no longer qualified under the principal residence tax exemption.

Here they share a tip on snow plugged exhaust pipes:
When getting alot of snowfall at once,one of the major issues that high efficient furnaces have is that the intake and exhaust pipes get plugged or covered under snow.
Be sure to check your venting first if your high efficient furnace does not come on.
Saskatchewan gas code says the venting shall not be below 18" when side wall venting,due to this fact of getting covered in snow as well if it penetrates the roof,it has to have proper clearance.
The last picture is a concentric vent kit,the exhaust shoots out of the middle and air is drawn from the sides.
This is a common problem for us is Saskatchewan due to the amount of snowfall we have at times.
If your furnace is showing a pressure switch code,more that likely this could be one of the issues
