The difference

Why our inspections actually tell you something.

Most roofing companies install. Very few properly diagnose. We built our reputation on finding what others miss.

Rated 5 out of 5

Blue Knight was, by far, the best. Responsive, ethical, totally professional — and their crew went above and beyond at no extra charge.

They installed a full new roof in one day. The crew worked around the house without us hardly knowing they were there.

I emailed at 4 a.m. and spoke with someone that same day. Estimate and completed work all within one day. Pricing was fair, work was excellent.

Luciano did not try to sell me a new roof. Appreciated the honesty — he showed up when he said he would.

We had a leak diagnosed by two other contractors who could not find the source. Blue Knight found it on the first visit and fixed it the same week.

Flat roof replacement on a commercial unit. Clean, fast, no surprises on the invoice. The crew left the site cleaner than they found it.

Called after a storm damaged our roof. Someone was on site within hours, tarped everything, and had us fully repaired before the next rain.

Vaughan, ON·HomeStars

Had a slow basement leak for years. Every other company just caulked it. Blue Knight found the actual source and did a proper waterproofing job. No issues since.

Our neighbours recommended them for a valley repair. Small job, but they treated it like it mattered — showed up on time, matched the shingles perfectly, and charged exactly what they quoted.

FAQ

Roof Inspection questions for East York.

Residential inspections start at $350, which covers physical roof access, the attic where there is hatch access, and a written report with photographs. Semi-detached properties are quoted at the same rate even though the shared valley and common chimney take longer to assess properly, because those are the details the inspection exists to look at.

Yes, and on an East York semi it is usually the most consequential thing in the report. A shared valley carries water off two roof planes belonging to two owners, and its condition determines whether either house stays dry. We assess it from both sides where access allows and state plainly in the report whether the valley has remaining life or is the next failure.

Usually within two to three business days, sooner where a purchase condition deadline is driving it. Tell us the date when you book and we will work backwards from it. The written report follows within 24 hours of the visit, so on a normal timeline it is in your hands while it can still affect what you offer.

Yes, on every East York inspection, and we would consider an inspection here incomplete without it. On 1930s to 50s brick housing the counter flashing set into the mortar joint is the most common single point of failure on the building. We assess the flashing, the mortar it sits in, and the chimney cap above it, because a flashing reseated into failing mortar will not hold no matter how well the metalwork is done.

Yes. Our reports clearly document deficiencies with severity ratings that support price negotiation.

In Depth

Pre-purchase roof inspections in East York are particularly important given the age of the housing stock. A 1938 semi-detached may have original chimney masonry, a replaced-once shingle roof over original board sheathing, and a valley drainage system that's been patched multiple times. Understanding what's there is essential before buying.

We provide physical-access inspections with written reports that give you a clear picture of the roof's current condition, remaining life, and noted deficiencies.

What an East York Pre-Purchase Inspection Covers

East York homes require inspection beyond the standard walkover. We examine the full chimney-roof interface, assess valley conditions between semis, check attic ventilation through hatch access, and evaluate flashing at all critical intersections.

The written report tells you what you're buying, including the repair items that a standard home inspection may describe only superficially.

East York has a significant rental property base, many homeowners rent out portions of older semis and detached homes. Annual inspection programs help landlords stay ahead of roofing issues before they become tenant complaints.
