Why St. Catharines pricing differs from neighbouring cities

What Roof Inspection actually costs in St. Catharines
Straightforward roof inspection on a typical St. Catharines home runs $199 to $318. Complex jobs — multi-storey access, heritage masonry, or downtown parking — push the top end toward $517. The variance is almost always access, not the work itself.
