Adjusters ask for: wide shot of the affected area with a reference object, close-up of the damage, opposite-side shot showing intact structure for comparison, and one photo of any prior inspection report or invoice.

Sudden events (storm, animal, appliance failure) usually settle at $159–$255 minus deductible. Gradual wear (freeze-thaw over years) is almost always denied — document the triggering event carefully.
Common questions
Do you need a permit for inspection in Burlington?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Burlington. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Is inspection covered by home insurance in Burlington?
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 Burlington?
Yes. Condo boards in Burlington typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Do you offer same-day inspection in Burlington?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Burlington for most standard scopes.
How much does inspection cost in Burlington?
Most Burlington jobs land between $159 and $255. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $415. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
What warranty do you offer on inspection in Burlington?
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.
How long does inspection take in Burlington?
45–60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
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.
