Red flags on quotes
Verbal-only pricing, deposits above 20%, cash-only discounts, and unwillingness to itemise materials by brand are the top four. Any one is a pass.
What a defensible quote looks like
Written scope with photos, itemised labour + materials, 30-day validity, WSIB and liability certificate attached, and named workmanship warranty (5 years is the current bar for roof inspection).
Vetting a Caledon contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Caledon references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Common questions
Do you offer same-day roof inspection in Caledon?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Caledon for most standard scopes.
Is roof inspection covered by home insurance in Caledon?
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 warranty do you offer on roof inspection in Caledon?
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.
When's the best time of year for roof inspection in Caledon?
Late September through mid-November with Caledon averaging 144cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
How long does roof inspection take in Caledon?
45–75 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
How much does roof inspection cost in Caledon?
Most Caledon jobs land between $191 and $306. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $497. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
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.
Do you need a permit for roof inspection in Caledon?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Caledon. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
