Common questions

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.

Yes. Condo boards in Hamilton typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
