Common questions
Do you need a permit for tuckpointing in Vaughan?

Most Vaughan jobs land between $631 and $1,009. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,639. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Vaughan?
Yes. Condo boards in Vaughan typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Is tuckpointing covered by home insurance in Vaughan?
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.
When's the best time of year for tuckpointing in Vaughan?
Late September through mid-November with Vaughan averaging 146cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

What warranty do you offer on tuckpointing in Vaughan?
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.
