Common questions
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.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in New Tecumseth?
Yes. Condo boards in New Tecumseth typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
How long does cap replacement take in New Tecumseth?
1–2 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Is cap replacement covered by home insurance in New Tecumseth?
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 cap replacement in New Tecumseth?
Late September through mid-November with New Tecumseth averaging 158cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
What warranty do you offer on cap replacement in New Tecumseth?
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 need a permit for cap replacement in New Tecumseth?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in New Tecumseth. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
How much does cap replacement cost in New Tecumseth?
Most New Tecumseth jobs land between $504 and $806. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,310. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
