Response windows across Markham
Standard bookings inside Markham: 3–5 business days. Same-day: usually before 2pm if we get the call by 9am. Emergency (water in flue, active leak): 90 minutes on weekdays, 3 hours weekends.
Weekend and holiday coverage
Saturday standard. Sunday and stat holidays are emergency-only with a documented callout fee that's waived if we book the follow-up job.
Common questions
How long does inspection take in Markham?
45–60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
How much does inspection cost in Markham?
Most Markham jobs land between $146 and $234. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $380. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
What warranty do you offer on inspection in Markham?
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.
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 Markham?
Yes. Condo boards in Markham typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
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.
Do you need a permit for inspection in Markham?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Markham. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Do you offer same-day inspection in Markham?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Markham for most standard scopes.
