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.
Do you need a permit for flashing repair in Port Hope?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Port Hope. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Is flashing repair covered by home insurance in Port Hope?
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.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Port Hope?
Yes. Condo boards in Port Hope typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
When's the best time of year for flashing repair in Port Hope?
Late September through mid-November with Port Hope averaging 125cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
What warranty do you offer on flashing repair in Port Hope?
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.
Do you offer same-day flashing repair in Port Hope?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Port Hope for most standard scopes.
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.
