Common questions
When's the best time of year for cap install in Georgina?
Late September through mid-November with Georgina averaging 162cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you need a permit for cap install in Georgina?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Georgina. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Is cap install covered by home insurance in Georgina?
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.
How long does cap install take in Georgina?
60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
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 cap install in Georgina?
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 service condos and heritage homes in Georgina?
Yes. Condo boards in Georgina typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
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.
