What an inspection actually covers

A real roof inspection means someone gets up there — not a drive-by, not a satellite photo guess. We check the parts of a roof that fail quietly: flashing around chimneys and vents, valley condition, shingle granule loss, deck sponginess, attic ventilation, and how water's actually draining off.

Flashing and penetrations

Chimneys, plumbing vents, skylights — most leaks start at a penetration, not in the open field of the roof.

Deck and structure

Soft spots underfoot can mean deck rot from a slow leak that's been going a while.

Attic ventilation check

Poor ventilation drives ice damming and shortens shingle life from the underside.

Age and wear assessment

Granule loss, curling, cracking — an honest read on how many seasons a roof has left.

What an inspection actually covers
The problem

Most people only think about their roof after it's already leaking

By the time water shows up on a ceiling in the GTA, it's often been finding its way in since the previous freeze-thaw season. An annual or pre-season inspection catches lifted flashing, cracked pipe boots, or a valley losing granules before that turns into interior damage and a bigger repair bill.

Our solution

We inspect on a schedule that makes sense, not just after damage shows

Buying a home, prepping for winter, or just haven't had eyes on the roof in a few years — any of those are good reasons for an inspection. You get a written report with photos and plain-language notes on what's fine, what to watch, and what needs actual work now.

How It Works

How an inspection goes

Same process for a Milton bungalow or a Toronto multi-unit.

  1. 1

    Book by email

    Send your address and any specific concerns — a stain, a storm, an upcoming sale.

  2. 2

    On-roof assessment

    We physically walk the roof, not just look from a ladder at the eaves.

  3. 3

    Attic check where accessible

    Ventilation and insulation affect roof lifespan as much as the shingles themselves.

  4. 4

    Written report

    Photos and notes on every area checked, sent by email so you can reference it later.

  5. 5

    Quote if work's needed

    If something needs fixing, you get a separate, itemized quote — no pressure to bundle it in.

Roof inspection questions

How often should I get my roof inspected?

Once a year is reasonable for most homes, ideally in fall before winter loads the roof with snow and ice. Older roofs or ones that have taken storm damage warrant more frequent checks.

Do you inspect roofs before a home purchase?

Yes, this is one of the more common reasons people book with us. A written report with photos gives you leverage in negotiations if issues turn up.

Will you try to sell me work I don't need?

No. The inspection report tells you what we found. If nothing needs doing, we say so. Repair quotes are separate and only come if something actually warrants it.

Do you check the attic as part of an inspection?

Where it's accessible, yes. Attic ventilation and insulation have a direct effect on roof lifespan and ice damming, so it's part of a thorough look.

Can an inspection help with an insurance claim?

Yes — a written, photo-documented inspection close to a storm event is useful supporting documentation for an insurance claim.
