Saturday standard. Sunday and stat holidays are emergency-only with a documented callout fee that's waived if we book the follow-up job.
Common questions
Do you need a permit for cap install in Peterborough?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Peterborough. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
How long does cap install take in Peterborough?
60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
How much does cap install cost in Peterborough?
Most Peterborough jobs land between $316 and $506. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $822. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you offer same-day cap install in Peterborough?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Peterborough for most standard scopes.
When's the best time of year for cap install in Peterborough?
Late September through mid-November with Peterborough averaging 129cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Is cap install covered by home insurance in Peterborough?
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.
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.
