Common questions
Is cap install covered by home insurance in Vaughan?
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.
When's the best time of year for cap install in Vaughan?
Late September through mid-November with Vaughan averaging 146cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
How long does cap install take in Vaughan?
60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Vaughan?
Yes. Condo boards in Vaughan typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
What warranty do you offer on cap install in Vaughan?
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 offer same-day cap install in Vaughan?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Vaughan for most standard scopes.
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.
Do you need a permit for cap install in Vaughan?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Vaughan. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
