Certifications that carry weight
WETT SITE-Comprehensive, CSIA CCP or CCS, and WSIB clearance are the three signals adjusters and buyers accept without pushback. HRAI membership adds credibility on venting work.
Which rules apply
Ontario Building Code §9.22 (masonry chimneys), CSA B365 (solid-fuel installations), and WETT SITE-Basic scope cover most repointing work. Insurers typically ask for the WETT report post-completion; municipalities ask for permit sign-off pre-cover.

Late September through mid-November with Brock averaging 152cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

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