Common questions
Is damper repair covered by home insurance in Hamilton?
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 service condos and heritage homes in Hamilton?
Yes. Condo boards in Hamilton typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
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 need a permit for damper repair in Hamilton?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Hamilton. 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 damper repair take in Hamilton?
60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
What warranty do you offer on damper repair in Hamilton?
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.
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
