Common questions
Do you need a permit for roof inspection in St. Catharines?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in St. Catharines. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
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.
When's the best time of year for roof inspection in St. Catharines?
Late September through mid-November with St. Catharines averaging 133cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
What warranty do you offer on roof inspection in St. Catharines?
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 St. Catharines?
45–75 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.
How much does roof inspection cost in St. Catharines?
Most St. Catharines jobs land between $199 and $318. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $517. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
