How long does repair take in Brampton?

2–6 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.

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.

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

Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
