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.

Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.

Late September through mid-November with Mississauga averaging 95cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
