Line items to look for on a quote
A clean 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.
Why Grimsby pricing differs from neighbouring cities
Grimsby's 82% natural gas mix drives which inspection scopes come up most. 16% of the housing stock predates 1960, which is why inspection jobs here average slightly more site prep than newer suburbs.
