Common questions
Do you offer same-day cap install in Oshawa?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Oshawa for most standard scopes.
How long does cap install take in Oshawa?
60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Is cap install covered by home insurance in Oshawa?
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.
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.
How much does cap install cost in Oshawa?
Most Oshawa jobs land between $311 and $497. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $808. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you need a permit for cap install in Oshawa?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Oshawa. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
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.
What warranty do you offer on cap install in Oshawa?
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.
