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 emergency tarp report or invoice.
Typical claim outcomes on Markham policies
Sudden events (storm, animal, appliance failure) usually settle at $391–$626 minus deductible. Gradual wear (freeze-thaw over years) is almost always denied — document the triggering event carefully.
Common questions
Do you need a permit for emergency tarp in Markham?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Markham. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
When's the best time of year for emergency tarp in Markham?
Late September through mid-November with Markham averaging 148cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
What warranty do you offer on emergency tarp in Markham?
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 emergency tarp in Markham?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Markham 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.
How long does emergency tarp take in Markham?
60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
How much does emergency tarp cost in Markham?
Most Markham jobs land between $391 and $626. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,017. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Markham?
Yes. Condo boards in Markham typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
