Common questions
Do you offer same-day chimney removal in Ajax?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Ajax for most standard scopes.
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
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.
When's the best time of year for chimney removal in Ajax?
Late September through mid-November with Ajax averaging 95cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Is chimney removal covered by home insurance in Ajax?
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 chimney removal in Ajax?
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.

Most Ajax jobs land between $1,277 and $2,042. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $3,319. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you need a permit for chimney removal in Ajax?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Ajax. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
