Standard bookings inside Scugog: 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
Do you offer same-day inspection in Scugog?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Scugog for most standard scopes.
How much does inspection cost in Scugog?
Most Scugog jobs land between $173 and $277. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $449. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you need a permit for inspection in Scugog?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Scugog. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
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 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.
What warranty do you offer on inspection 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.
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.
When's the best time of year for inspection 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.
