How we prioritise
Active leaks, gas smell, and animal-in-flue jump the queue over cosmetic moss treatment work. We text realistic ETAs, not "we'll get to it."
Response windows across Markham
Standard bookings inside Markham: 3–5 business days. Same-day: usually before 2pm if we get the call by 9am. Emergency (water in flue, active leak): 90 minutes on weekdays, 3 hours weekends.
Weekend and holiday coverage
Saturday standard. Sunday and stat holidays are emergency-only with a documented callout fee that's waived if we book the follow-up job.
Common questions
Do you need a permit for moss treatment 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.
How long does moss treatment take in Markham?
3–4 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
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.
Is moss treatment 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.
When's the best time of year for moss treatment in Markham?
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 offer same-day moss treatment in Markham?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Markham for most standard scopes.
How much does moss treatment cost in Markham?
Most Markham jobs land between $342 and $547. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $889. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
