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 repair report or invoice.

Common questions

Do you need a permit for repair in Erin?

Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Erin. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.

What warranty do you offer on repair in Erin?

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.

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 repair in Erin?

Late September through mid-November with Erin averaging 127cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

Is repair covered by home insurance in Erin?
