How we prioritise
Active leaks, gas smell, and animal-in-flue jump the queue over cosmetic inspection work. We text realistic ETAs, not "we'll get to it."
Response windows across Toronto
Standard bookings inside Toronto: 3–5 business days. Same-day: usually before 2pm if we get the call by 9am. Emergency (water in flue, active leak): 90 minutes on weekdays, 3 hours weekends.
Weekend and holiday coverage
Saturday standard. Sunday and stat holidays are emergency-only with a documented callout fee that's waived if we book the follow-up job.
Common questions
Do you offer same-day inspection in Toronto?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Toronto for most standard scopes.
How much does inspection cost in Toronto?
Most Toronto jobs land between $139 and $222. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $360. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
How long does inspection take in Toronto?
45–60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
When's the best time of year for inspection in Toronto?
Late September through mid-November with Toronto averaging 127cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Toronto?
Yes. Condo boards in Toronto typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
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 inspection in Toronto?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Toronto. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
What warranty do you offer on inspection in Toronto?
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.
