The Erin scheduling window
We aim to complete pre-winter chimney removal on Erin homes by the last Saturday in October. Book by Labour Day for that window — after that we're scheduling against weather.

Late September through mid-November is the sweet spot: Erin averages 127cm of snow starting in December, so roof access closes fast. Spring bookings (April–May) are second-best and often 10–15% cheaper.
Common questions
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.
