Line items to look for on a quote

Why Hamilton pricing differs from neighbouring cities
Hamilton's 82% natural gas mix drives which liner install scopes come up most. 29% of the housing stock predates 1960, which is why liner install jobs here average slightly more site prep than newer suburbs.

Common questions
What warranty do you offer on liner install in Hamilton?
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.
Do you offer same-day liner install in Hamilton?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Hamilton for most standard scopes.
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 need a permit for liner install in Hamilton?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Hamilton. 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 liner install in Hamilton?
Late September through mid-November with Hamilton averaging 117cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

Is liner install covered by home insurance in Hamilton?
