Which rules apply

Ontario Building Code §9.22 (masonry chimneys), CSA B365 (solid-fuel installations), and WETT SITE-Basic scope cover most roof inspection work. Insurers typically ask for the WETT report post-completion; municipalities ask for permit sign-off pre-cover.

Permit thresholds in Mississauga

Mississauga building services generally require a permit for any structural masonry, liner replacement, or new appliance install. Cleaning, cap replacement, and cosmetic work are permit-exempt. Turnaround for over-the-counter permits is usually 5–10 business days.

Certifications that carry weight

WETT SITE-Comprehensive, CSIA CCP or CCS, and WSIB clearance are the three signals adjusters and buyers accept without pushback. HRAI membership adds credibility on venting work.

Common questions

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.

Do you offer same-day roof inspection in Mississauga?

Do you need a permit for roof inspection in Mississauga?

Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Mississauga. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.

Late September through mid-November with Mississauga averaging 95cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

Yes. Condo boards in Mississauga typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
