Common questions
How much does flashing repair cost in Ajax?
Most Ajax jobs land between $332 and $531. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $863. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
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 long does flashing repair take in Ajax?
1–3 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
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.
What warranty do you offer on flashing repair in Ajax?
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.
When's the best time of year for flashing repair in Ajax?
Late September through mid-November with Ajax averaging 95cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you need a permit for flashing repair in Ajax?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Ajax. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Ajax?
Yes. Condo boards in Ajax typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
