Common questions
Do you need a permit for roof repair in Lincoln?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Lincoln. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
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.
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.
What warranty do you offer on roof repair in Lincoln?
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.

Late September through mid-November with Lincoln averaging 131cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
