Do you need a permit for moss treatment in Port Hope?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Port Hope. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.

Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
