What Inspection actually costs in King
Straightforward inspection on a typical King home runs $152 to $243. Complex jobs — multi-storey access, heritage masonry, or downtown parking — push the top end toward $395. The variance is almost always access, not the work itself.
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 King pricing differs from neighbouring cities
King's 72% natural gas mix drives which inspection scopes come up most. 12% of the housing stock predates 1960, which is why inspection jobs here average slightly more site prep than newer suburbs.
Common questions
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 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.
How long does inspection take in King?
45–60 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 inspection in King?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in King. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Do you offer same-day inspection in King?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside King for most standard scopes.
What warranty do you offer on inspection in King?
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 service condos and heritage homes in King?
Yes. Condo boards in King typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Is inspection covered by home insurance in King?
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.
