Late September through mid-November with Markham averaging 148cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Markham?
Yes. Condo boards in Markham typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Is tuckpointing covered by home insurance in Markham?
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 need a permit for tuckpointing in Markham?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Markham. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
