Common questions
What warranty do you offer on inspection in East Gwillimbury?
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.
Is inspection covered by home insurance in East Gwillimbury?
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.
Do you offer same-day inspection in East Gwillimbury?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside East Gwillimbury for most standard scopes.
Do you need a permit for inspection in East Gwillimbury?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in East Gwillimbury. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
When's the best time of year for inspection in East Gwillimbury?
Late September through mid-November with East Gwillimbury averaging 160cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
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 East Gwillimbury?
Yes. Condo boards in East Gwillimbury typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
