4–8 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
What warranty do you offer on crown replacement in Brantford?
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 Brantford?
Yes. Condo boards in Brantford typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Is crown replacement covered by home insurance in Brantford?
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.
