Line items to look for on a quote

Why Aurora pricing differs from neighbouring cities
Aurora's 72% natural gas mix drives which cap replacement scopes come up most. 10% of the housing stock predates 1960, which is why cap replacement jobs here average slightly more site prep than newer suburbs.

Do you need a permit for cap replacement in Aurora?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Aurora. 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 offer same-day cap replacement in Aurora?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Aurora for most standard scopes.
Is cap replacement covered by home insurance in Aurora?
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.
