Common questions
When's the best time of year for bird guard install in Hamilton?
Late September through mid-November with Hamilton averaging 117cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

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.
Is bird guard install covered by home insurance in Hamilton?
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.
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.

Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Hamilton for most standard scopes.

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

45 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
