Common questions
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.
Do you offer same-day inspection in Kawartha Lakes?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Kawartha Lakes for most standard scopes.
How much does inspection cost in Kawartha Lakes?
Most Kawartha Lakes jobs land between $173 and $277. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $449. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Is inspection covered by home insurance in Kawartha Lakes?
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 inspection in Kawartha Lakes?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Kawartha Lakes. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
When's the best time of year for inspection in Kawartha Lakes?
Late September through mid-November with Kawartha Lakes averaging 131cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
What warranty do you offer on inspection in Kawartha Lakes?
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.
