Vetting a Caledon contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Caledon references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Red flags on quotes
Verbal-only pricing, deposits above 20%, cash-only discounts, and unwillingness to itemise materials by brand are the top four. Any one is a pass.
What a defensible quote looks like
Written scope with photos, itemised labour + materials, 30-day validity, WSIB and liability certificate attached, and named workmanship warranty (5 years is the current bar for roof inspection).
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.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Caledon?
Yes. Condo boards in Caledon typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Is roof inspection covered by home insurance in Caledon?
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 much does roof inspection cost in Caledon?
Most Caledon jobs land between $191 and $306. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $497. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
How long does roof inspection take in Caledon?
45–75 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you need a permit for roof inspection in Caledon?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Caledon. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
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 Caledon?
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.
