Yes. Condo boards in St. Catharines typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.

Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in St. Catharines. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
