Vetting a Mississauga contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Mississauga references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
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).
Common questions
What warranty do you offer on roof inspection in Mississauga?
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.
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 service condos and heritage homes in Mississauga?
Yes. Condo boards in Mississauga 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.
How much does roof inspection cost in Mississauga?
Most Mississauga jobs land between $187 and $299. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $486. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
When's the best time of year for roof inspection in Mississauga?
Late September through mid-November with Mississauga averaging 95cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Is roof inspection covered by home insurance in Mississauga?
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.
Do you offer same-day roof inspection in Mississauga?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Mississauga for most standard scopes.
