Common questions
When's the best time of year for winter prep in Caledon?
Late September through mid-November with Caledon averaging 144cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

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 winter prep covered by home insurance in Caledon?
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.

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.
