Do you offer same-day emergency tarp in St. Catharines?

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.

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

60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?

Do you need a permit for emergency tarp in St. Catharines?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in St. Catharines. 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 emergency tarp in St. Catharines?
Late September through mid-November with St. Catharines averaging 133cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

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.
