Best month to schedule wett inspection in Cambridge
Late September through mid-November is the sweet spot: Cambridge averages 109cm of snow starting in December, so roof access closes fast. Spring bookings (April–May) are second-best and often 10–15% cheaper.
What breaks in each season
Winter: ice loading on the cap and flashing. Spring: freeze-thaw cracking in the crown from 56 annual cycles. Summer: UV degradation on any exposed sealant. Fall: raccoon and squirrel nesting before the cold snap.
The Cambridge scheduling window
We aim to complete pre-winter wett inspection on Cambridge homes by the last Saturday in October. Book by Labour Day for that window — after that we're scheduling against weather.
Common questions
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Cambridge?
Yes. Condo boards in Cambridge typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Do you offer same-day wett inspection in Cambridge?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Cambridge for most standard scopes.
How long does wett inspection take in Cambridge?
60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
What warranty do you offer on wett inspection in Cambridge?
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.
Do you need a permit for wett inspection in Cambridge?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Cambridge. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Is wett inspection covered by home insurance in Cambridge?
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.
