Emerald’s inspectors offer a comprehensive range of inspection services, covering every activity associated with both new and old buildings and backed by highly developed quality control procedures.

Emerald conducts a roof review to determine the present condition of your roof covering. If the roof covering is at a stage for replacement, Emerald provides detailed design of the new roofing system, implements planning, budgets, assists in the selection of the roofing contractor and scheduling of your project and assures the control of quality, time and cost.

The quality of our service is reflected in the commitment we have made to staff training and development. All our surveyors are registered with the Applied Science and Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia (ASTTBC) and have the local knowledge and experience necessary to provide accurate, reliable inspections.
