Common questions
Do you offer same-day repointing in Ajax?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Ajax for most standard scopes.
How long does repointing take in Ajax?
1–2 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
What warranty do you offer on repointing in Ajax?
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 repointing covered by home insurance in Ajax?
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 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 service condos and heritage homes in Ajax?
Yes. Condo boards in Ajax typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Do you need a permit for repointing in Ajax?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Ajax. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
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.
