Roof Inspections questions, answered.
How much does a roof inspection cost?+
A standard residential roof inspection with written report ranges from $250 – $450 on Vancouver Island depending on roof size and access. Pre-purchase inspections with same-day turnaround typically run $400 – $650.
How long does a roof inspection take?+
On-site inspection typically takes 45 – 90 minutes. The written PDF report is normally delivered within 1 – 2 business days, or same-day for pre-purchase deadlines.
Will you tell me the roof is fine if it is?+
Yes. A large portion of our inspections result in 'this roof is in good condition, here is your remaining-life estimate' — and we say so in writing. We do not invent problems to sell projects.
Do you provide insurance certification letters?+
Yes. If your insurer needs a roof condition letter to renew or write a policy, we can provide it with the inspection.
Can you inspect a roof I am thinking of buying?+
Absolutely — pre-purchase inspections are a large part of our work. We coordinate with Realtors and lawyers to meet subject-removal deadlines.
