Common questions
What warranty do you offer on animal removal in St. Catharines?
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.
When's the best time of year for animal removal in St. Catharines?
Late September through mid-November with St. Catharines averaging 133cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
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.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in St. Catharines?
Yes. Condo boards in St. Catharines typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
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 animal removal in St. Catharines?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in St. Catharines. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Is animal removal covered by home insurance in St. Catharines?
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 offer same-day animal removal in St. Catharines?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside St. Catharines for most standard scopes.
