Line items to look for on a quote

Why Toronto pricing differs from neighbouring cities
Toronto's 80% natural gas mix drives which damper repair scopes come up most. 38% of the housing stock predates 1960, which is why damper repair jobs here average slightly more site prep than newer suburbs.

Common questions
How long does damper repair take in Toronto?
60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you need a permit for damper repair in Toronto?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Toronto. 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.
Is damper repair covered by home insurance in Toronto?
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 damper repair in Toronto?
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.
