The Caledon scheduling window
We aim to complete pre-winter flashing repair on Caledon homes by the last Saturday in October. Book by Labour Day for that window — after that we're scheduling against weather.
Best month to schedule flashing repair in Caledon
Late September through mid-November is the sweet spot: Caledon averages 144cm of snow starting in December, so roof access closes fast. Spring bookings (April–May) are second-best and often 10–15% cheaper.
What breaks in each season
Winter: ice loading on the cap and flashing. Spring: freeze-thaw cracking in the crown from 65 annual cycles. Summer: UV degradation on any exposed sealant. Fall: raccoon and squirrel nesting before the cold snap.
Common questions
Is flashing repair covered by home insurance in Caledon?
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.
What warranty do you offer on flashing repair in Caledon?
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.
Do you need a permit for flashing repair in Caledon?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Caledon. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
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.
When's the best time of year for flashing repair in Caledon?
Late September through mid-November with Caledon averaging 144cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
