The Whitby scheduling window
We aim to complete pre-winter roof inspection on Whitby 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 Whitby
Late September through mid-November is the sweet spot: Whitby averages 97cm 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 55 annual cycles. Summer: UV degradation on any exposed sealant. Fall: raccoon and squirrel nesting before the cold snap.
Common questions
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 roof inspection in Whitby?
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.
Is roof inspection covered by home insurance in Whitby?
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 need a permit for roof inspection in Whitby?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Whitby. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Do you offer same-day roof inspection in Whitby?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Whitby for most standard scopes.
How much does roof inspection cost in Whitby?
Most Whitby jobs land between $223 and $357. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $579. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
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.
When's the best time of year for roof inspection in Whitby?
Late September through mid-November with Whitby averaging 97cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
