What Roof Inspection actually costs in Oshawa

Line items to look for on a quote

Common questions
Is roof inspection covered by home insurance in Oshawa?
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.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Oshawa?
Yes. Condo boards in Oshawa typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
What warranty do you offer on roof inspection in Oshawa?
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.
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.
Do you offer same-day roof inspection in Oshawa?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Oshawa for most standard scopes.
Do you need a permit for roof inspection in Oshawa?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Oshawa. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
