How we prioritise
Active leaks, gas smell, and animal-in-flue jump the queue over cosmetic shingle replacement work. We text realistic ETAs, not "we'll get to it."
Response windows across Cambridge
Standard bookings inside Cambridge: 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
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.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Cambridge?
Yes. Condo boards in Cambridge typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
Do you need a permit for shingle replacement in Cambridge?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Cambridge. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Is shingle replacement covered by home insurance in Cambridge?
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 long does shingle replacement take in Cambridge?
1–3 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you offer same-day shingle replacement in Cambridge?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Cambridge for most standard scopes.
When's the best time of year for shingle replacement in Cambridge?
Late September through mid-November with Cambridge averaging 109cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
