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.
When's the best time of year for tuckpointing 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.
What warranty do you offer on tuckpointing 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.
How long does tuckpointing take in Oakville?
1–2 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you need a permit for tuckpointing in Oakville?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Oakville. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Do you offer same-day tuckpointing in Oakville?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Oakville for most standard scopes.
Is tuckpointing 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.
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.
