60–120 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.

Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.

Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Cambridge for most standard scopes.
Is roof vent install covered by home insurance in Cambridge?
