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 wett inspection).
Vetting a Whitby contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Whitby references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Common questions
How long does wett inspection take in Whitby?
60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.

Most Whitby jobs land between $279 and $446. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $725. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
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.
When's the best time of year for wett 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.
Do you offer same-day wett inspection in Whitby?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Whitby for most standard scopes.
Is wett 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.
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.
What warranty do you offer on wett 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.
