The Erin scheduling window

We aim to complete pre-winter repair on Erin 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 repair in Erin

Late September through mid-November is the sweet spot: Erin averages 127cm 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

How long does repair take in Erin?

2–6 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.

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.

What warranty do you offer on repair in Erin?

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 offer same-day repair in Erin?

Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Erin for most standard scopes.

Is repair covered by home insurance in Erin?

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 service condos and heritage homes in Erin?

Yes. Condo boards in Erin typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.

When's the best time of year for repair in Erin?

Late September through mid-November with Erin averaging 127cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
