Common questions
Do you service condos and heritage homes in St. Catharines?

45 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.

Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
