What breaks in each season
Winter: ice loading on the cap and flashing. Spring: freeze-thaw cracking in the crown from 67 annual cycles. Summer: UV degradation on any exposed sealant. Fall: raccoon and squirrel nesting before the cold snap.

Common questions
How long does insert install take in Uxbridge?
1 day is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.

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

Late September through mid-November with Uxbridge averaging 148cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
What warranty do you offer on insert install in Uxbridge?
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 insert install in Uxbridge?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Uxbridge. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.

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.
