Common questions
Do you need a permit for repair in Pickering?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Pickering. 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 Pickering?
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 service condos and heritage homes in Pickering?
Yes. Condo boards in Pickering typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
How much does repair cost in Pickering?
Most Pickering jobs land between $385 and $616. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,001. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
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.
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 repair in Pickering?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Pickering for most standard scopes.
How long does repair take in Pickering?
2–6 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
