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.
Why Peterborough pricing differs from neighbouring cities
Peterborough's 70% natural gas mix drives which roof inspection scopes come up most. 16% of the housing stock predates 1960, which is why roof inspection jobs here average slightly more site prep than newer suburbs.
