Common questions
What warranty do you offer on roof inspection in Grimsby?
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 roof inspection take in Grimsby?
45–75 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Is roof inspection covered by home insurance in Grimsby?
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.
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 roof inspection in Grimsby?
Late September through mid-November with Grimsby averaging 119cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Grimsby?
Yes. Condo boards in Grimsby typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
