Common questions
Do you offer same-day cap install in Fort Erie?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Fort Erie for most standard scopes.
How long does cap install take in Fort Erie?
60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
What warranty do you offer on cap install in Fort Erie?
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.
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.
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.
Is cap install covered by home insurance in Fort Erie?
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 need a permit for cap install in Fort Erie?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Fort Erie. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Fort Erie?
Yes. Condo boards in Fort Erie typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
