The Brock rental market angle
Landlord roof inspection DIY on rental units in Brock voids most policies and shifts full liability to the owner under RTA §20. Not worth it.
What you can safely DIY
Visual inspection with a flashlight, exterior debris clearing from the cap area (from a stable ladder, not the roof), and photo-documentation of concerns. That's the safe list.
What needs a pro
Anything requiring roof access, working chemicals or sealants, disturbing masonry, disassembling the appliance, or interpreting a scan. The insurance and liability exposure on DIY roof inspection is disproportionate to the cost savings.
Common questions
What warranty do you offer on roof inspection in Brock?
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 Brock?
45–75 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Is roof inspection covered by home insurance in Brock?
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.
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 Brock?
Yes. Condo boards in Brock typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
How much does roof inspection cost in Brock?
Most Brock jobs land between $183 and $293. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $476. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you need a permit for roof inspection in Brock?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Brock. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
