The Scugog scheduling window
We aim to complete pre-winter ice dam prevention on Scugog 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 ice dam prevention in Scugog
Late September through mid-November is the sweet spot: Scugog averages 150cm 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 ice dam prevention in Scugog?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Scugog for most standard scopes.
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.
Do you need a permit for ice dam prevention in Scugog?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Scugog. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
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.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Scugog?
Yes. Condo boards in Scugog typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
What warranty do you offer on ice dam prevention in Scugog?
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.
When's the best time of year for ice dam prevention in Scugog?
Late September through mid-November with Scugog averaging 150cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Is ice dam prevention covered by home insurance in Scugog?
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.
