Common questions
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 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.
When's the best time of year for flashing repair in Oakville?
Late September through mid-November with Oakville averaging 119cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
How long does flashing repair take in Oakville?
1–3 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you offer same-day flashing repair in Oakville?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Oakville for most standard scopes.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Oakville?
Yes. Condo boards in Oakville 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 flashing repair in Oakville?
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 flashing repair covered by home insurance in Oakville?
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.
