Common questions
How long does insert install take in Pickering?
1 day 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.
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.
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 need a permit for insert install 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 insert install 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 offer same-day insert install in Pickering?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Pickering for most standard scopes.
When's the best time of year for insert install in Pickering?
Late September through mid-November with Pickering averaging 127cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
