Common questions
How long does inspection take in Welland?
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.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Welland?
Yes. Condo boards in Welland typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Is inspection covered by home insurance in Welland?
