Weekend and holiday coverage

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.
What warranty do you offer on cap replacement in Scugog?
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.
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.
When's the best time of year for cap replacement in Scugog?
Late September through mid-November with Scugog averaging 150cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you offer same-day cap replacement in Scugog?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Scugog for most standard scopes.
Is cap replacement covered by home insurance in Scugog?
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 much does cap replacement cost in Scugog?
Most Scugog jobs land between $522 and $835. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,357. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Scugog?
Yes. Condo boards in Scugog typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
