Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Guelph. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Is moss treatment covered by home insurance in Guelph?

Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
What warranty do you offer on moss treatment in Guelph?
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.
