Common questions
How much does inspection cost in Orangeville?
Most Orangeville jobs land between $168 and $269. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $438. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
What warranty do you offer on inspection in Orangeville?
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.
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.
When's the best time of year for inspection in Orangeville?
Late September through mid-November with Orangeville averaging 160cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you need a permit for inspection in Orangeville?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Orangeville. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
How long does inspection take in Orangeville?
45–60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
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.
Is inspection covered by home insurance in Orangeville?
