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 service condos and heritage homes in Whitby?
Yes. Condo boards in Whitby typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
