The Toronto scheduling window
We aim to complete pre-winter repointing on Toronto homes by the last Saturday in October. Book by Labour Day for that window — after that we're scheduling against weather.
Best month to schedule repointing in Toronto
Late September through mid-November is the sweet spot: Toronto 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
Do you offer same-day repointing in Toronto?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Toronto for most standard scopes.
How much does repointing cost in Toronto?
Most Toronto jobs land between $642 and $1,027. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,668. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
When's the best time of year for repointing in Toronto?
Late September through mid-November with Toronto averaging 127cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
What warranty do you offer on repointing in Toronto?
Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
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.
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
Is repointing covered by home insurance in Toronto?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
How long does repointing take in Toronto?
1–2 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
