The Mississauga scheduling window
We aim to complete pre-winter wood stove install on Mississauga 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 wood stove install in Mississauga
Late September through mid-November is the sweet spot: Mississauga averages 95cm 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 54 annual cycles. Summer: UV degradation on any exposed sealant. Fall: raccoon and squirrel nesting before the cold snap.

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.

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