When to loop us in
The strongest claim files include a written pro assessment before the first adjuster call. We turn those around in 48 hours and share directly with the carrier.
Photos adjusters actually want
Adjusters ask for: wide shot of the affected area with a reference object, close-up of the damage, opposite-side shot showing intact structure for comparison, and one photo of any prior animal removal report or invoice.
Common questions
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.
How long does animal removal take in Burlington?
60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
When's the best time of year for animal removal in Burlington?
Late September through mid-November with Burlington averaging 121cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Burlington?
Yes. Condo boards in Burlington typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Do you offer same-day animal removal in Burlington?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Burlington for most standard scopes.
Is animal removal covered by home insurance in Burlington?
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 animal removal in Burlington?
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.
Do you need a permit for animal removal in Burlington?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Burlington. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
