The Fort Erie scheduling window
We aim to complete pre-winter roof inspection on Fort Erie 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 roof inspection in Fort Erie
Late September through mid-November is the sweet spot: Fort Erie averages 105cm of snow starting in December, so roof access closes fast. Spring bookings (April–May) are second-best and often 10–15% cheaper.
Common questions
Do you need a permit for roof inspection in Fort Erie?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Fort Erie. 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.
Is roof inspection covered by home insurance in Fort Erie?
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 roof inspection take in Fort Erie?
45–75 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
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 offer same-day roof inspection in Fort Erie?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Fort Erie for most standard scopes.
What warranty do you offer on roof inspection in Fort Erie?
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 service condos and heritage homes in Fort Erie?
Yes. Condo boards in Fort Erie typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
