Best month to schedule roof inspection in Oakville

What breaks in each season
Winter: ice loading on the cap and flashing. Spring: freeze-thaw cracking in the crown from 66 annual cycles. Summer: UV degradation on any exposed sealant. Fall: raccoon and squirrel nesting before the cold snap.
The Oakville scheduling window
We aim to complete pre-winter roof inspection on Oakville homes by the last Saturday in October. Book by Labour Day for that window — after that we're scheduling against weather.
Common questions
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.
What warranty do you offer on roof inspection in Oakville?
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.
How long does roof inspection take in Oakville?
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.
When's the best time of year for roof inspection in Oakville?
Late September through mid-November with Oakville averaging 119cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you need a permit for roof inspection in Oakville?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Oakville. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Is roof inspection covered by home insurance in Oakville?
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 offer same-day roof inspection in Oakville?
