Common questions
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Whitby?
Yes. Condo boards in Whitby typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.

Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Whitby for most standard scopes.
Is bird guard install covered by home insurance in Whitby?
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.

Late September through mid-November with Whitby averaging 97cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
What warranty do you offer on bird guard install in Whitby?
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.
How long does bird guard install take in Whitby?
45 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
