Common questions
Do you need a permit for damper repair 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.

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.

60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
