What Roof Inspection actually costs in Ajax
Straightforward roof inspection on a typical Ajax home runs $221 to $353. Complex jobs — multi-storey access, heritage masonry, or downtown parking — push the top end toward $574. The variance is almost always access, not the work itself.
Line items to look for on a quote
A clean roof inspection quote itemises: labour hours, materials with brand names, dump/haul fees, permits (where required), and a written warranty term. Anything lumped as "misc" or "shop supplies" over 5% is worth questioning.
