Vetting a Georgina contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Georgina 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.
When's the best time of year for roof inspection in Georgina?
Late September through mid-November with Georgina averaging 162cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
How long does roof inspection take in Georgina?
45–75 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
What warranty do you offer on roof inspection in Georgina?
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 need a permit for roof inspection in Georgina?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Georgina. 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.
How much does roof inspection cost in Georgina?
Most Georgina jobs land between $209 and $334. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $543. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Georgina?
Yes. Condo boards in Georgina typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
