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

Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Port Hope for most standard scopes.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Port Hope?
Yes. Condo boards in Port Hope typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
How long does tuckpointing take in Port Hope?
1–2 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.

Is tuckpointing covered by home insurance in Port Hope?
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.
