Common questions

When's the best time of year for repair in Fort Erie?

Late September through mid-November with Fort Erie averaging 105cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

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.

How much does repair cost in Fort Erie?

Most Fort Erie jobs land between $361 and $577. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $937. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.

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 Fort Erie?

Yes. Condo boards in Fort Erie 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 repair in Fort Erie?

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.

Is repair covered by home insurance in Fort Erie?

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.

Do you need a permit for repair in Fort Erie?

Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Fort Erie. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
