Catch small problems before they become big, expensive repairs. Our thorough inspections identify hidden damage and extend your roof's life.
Your roof ages silently. By the time you notice a leak, significant damage may have already occurred.
Water damage spreads fast—especially in Ottawa's freeze-thaw climate where ice and snow can hide problems. Regular inspections catch issues early, when they're cheaper and easier to fix. Many homeowners find that a yearly inspection saves them thousands in emergency repairs down the road.
Our thorough inspections cover every part of your roofing system.
| Inspection Area | What We Look For | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Shingles & Materials | Curling, cracking, missing pieces, bald spots | Damaged shingles expose the deck underneath to water damage |
| Flashing | Gaps, corrosion, poor sealing | Faulty flashing is a major source of leaks |
| Underlayment | Exposure, damage, proper overlap | Protects the roof deck if outer layers fail |
| Gutters & Downspouts | Debris, sagging, damage, drainage | Clogged gutters cause water backup and ice dams |
| Soffit & Fascia | Wood rot, pest damage, gaps | These direct water away from your home |
| Roof Deck | Soft spots, sagging, rot | Indicates possible water damage or structural concerns |
| Ventilation | Blocked vents, proper airflow | Poor ventilation causes premature aging and mold |
| Attic | Water stains, mold, moisture | Reveals where water is entering your home |
| Ice Dam Risk | Ventilation issues, insulation | Ottawa's freeze-thaw cycles create ice dams |
| Age & Wear | Estimate remaining roof life | Helps plan for future replacement |
We examine every square foot of your roof from the ground and, when necessary, from the roof itself. We check shingles, flashing, gutters, and the overall condition.
We look for signs of leaks, moisture, mold, and proper ventilation. The attic tells us a lot about how well your roof is performing.
We examine fascia, soffits, downspouts, and drainage patterns to ensure water is flowing away from your home properly.
You receive a comprehensive written report with photos showing current condition, issues found, recommendations, and estimated costs for any needed work.
We walk through the report with you and answer all your questions. If repairs are needed, we provide fair estimates.
Ottawa's climate makes frequent inspections especially important. We recommend annual inspections to catch problems early.
These are signs of active or recent water intrusion. Don't wait—call for an inspection immediately.
We've inspected thousands of Ottawa roofs. We know what to look for and what problems are common in our climate.
You get detailed written reports with photos, not just a verbal rundown. You'll understand exactly what you have.
We tell you what needs immediate attention and what can wait. We don't push unnecessary repairs.
Factory-trained by BP Canada, we know quality roofing materials and installation standards.
Full liability coverage ensures you're protected during the inspection.
Ottawa's climate is hard on roofs. The seasonal challenges accelerate roof aging.
Snow load, ice dams, and freeze-thaw cycles that damage materials and cause leaks.
Rapid melting causes water backup and reveals ice dam damage from winter.
Intense sun exposure ages materials; hail storms cause impact damage.
Debris accumulation; temperature swings cause expansion and contraction.
What might last 25 years in a mild climate may only last 15-20 years in Ottawa. Regular inspections help us catch damage before it becomes critical.
Don't wait for leaks and water damage to discover problems. Schedule an inspection and have peace of mind knowing your roof is in good condition—or learn what repairs are needed.
