1–2 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.

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?
