Common questions
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.
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 need a permit for wett inspection in Richmond Hill?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Richmond Hill. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Richmond Hill?
Yes. Condo boards in Richmond Hill typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
How much does wett inspection cost in Richmond Hill?
Most Richmond Hill jobs land between $247 and $394. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $641. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Is wett inspection covered by home insurance in Richmond Hill?
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.
When's the best time of year for wett inspection in Richmond Hill?
Late September through mid-November with Richmond Hill averaging 150cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you offer same-day wett inspection in Richmond Hill?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Richmond Hill for most standard scopes.
