What WETT Inspection actually costs in Whitby

Line items to look for on a quote
A clean wett 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.

Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
Do you offer same-day wett inspection in Whitby?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Whitby for most standard scopes.
How long does wett inspection take in Whitby?
60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Whitby?
Yes. Condo boards in Whitby typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Is wett inspection covered by home insurance in Whitby?
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.
When's the best time of year for wett inspection in Whitby?
Late September through mid-November with Whitby averaging 97cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you need a permit for wett inspection in Whitby?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Whitby. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
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.
