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.
Is crown replacement 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.

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.
