Common questions
Do you need a permit for tuckpointing in Aurora?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Aurora. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
How much does tuckpointing cost in Aurora?
Most Aurora jobs land between $650 and $1,040. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,690. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Aurora?
Yes. Condo boards in Aurora 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 tuckpointing in Aurora?
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.
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.
When's the best time of year for tuckpointing in Aurora?
Late September through mid-November with Aurora averaging 152cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
How long does tuckpointing take in Aurora?
1–2 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
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.
