Common questions

Is cap replacement covered by home insurance in Peterborough?

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.

What warranty do you offer on cap replacement in Peterborough?

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 cap replacement in Peterborough?

Late September through mid-November with Peterborough averaging 129cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

Do you need a permit for cap replacement in Peterborough?

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

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.

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 Peterborough?

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