Sudden events (storm, animal, appliance failure) usually settle at $891–$1,426 minus deductible. Gradual wear (freeze-thaw over years) is almost always denied — document the triggering event carefully.
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 crown replacement report or invoice.
Common questions
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.
Do you offer same-day crown replacement in Richmond Hill?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Richmond Hill for most standard scopes.
When's the best time of year for crown replacement in Richmond Hill?
Late September through mid-November with Richmond Hill averaging 150cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
What warranty do you offer on crown replacement in Richmond Hill?
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.
Is crown replacement covered by home insurance in Richmond Hill?
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.
Do you need a permit for crown replacement in Richmond Hill?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Richmond Hill. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
How long does crown replacement take in Richmond Hill?
4–8 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
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.
