Response windows across Whitby

Standard bookings inside Whitby: 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.

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."

Common questions

What warranty do you offer on inspection in Whitby?

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.

Is inspection covered by home insurance in Whitby?

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 inspection in Whitby?

Late September through mid-November with Whitby averaging 97cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

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.

How long does inspection take in Whitby?

45–60 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.

Do you service condos and heritage homes in Whitby?

Yes. Condo boards in Whitby typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.

Do you offer same-day inspection in Whitby?

Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Whitby for most standard scopes.
