Common questions
Is emergency tarp covered by home insurance in Toronto?
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.
How much does emergency tarp cost in Toronto?
Most Toronto jobs land between $371 and $594. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $965. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
What warranty do you offer on emergency tarp in Toronto?
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.
When's the best time of year for emergency tarp in Toronto?
Late September through mid-November with Toronto averaging 127cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
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.
How long does emergency tarp take in Toronto?
60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you offer same-day emergency tarp in Toronto?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Toronto for most standard scopes.
Do you need a permit for emergency tarp in Toronto?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Toronto. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
