Know before you act
A professional inspection reveals what you cannot see from the ground
Most homeowners never go up on their roof — and that is just as well, it is not without risk. The problem is that the first signs of a roof weakening (granules wearing away, flashing lifting slightly, inadequate ventilation) are practically invisible from the street or an upstairs window.
Our free professional inspection gives you a clear, honest picture of your roof's actual condition, with a written report you can keep, show a notary, or use to negotiate on a property purchase.
When to ask for an inspection
Before buying a house
Know the roof's real condition before you negotiate or sign, not after.
After a storm
Wind or hail damage is not always visible without getting up on the roof.
After a hard winter
Freeze-thaw cycles and ice dams leave marks that are best caught early.
Before selling
A recent inspection report reassures buyers and avoids surprises mid-transaction.
What our inspection covers
Overall shingle condition
Wear, granule loss, and shingles that are cracked, lifted or missing.
Flashing and penetrations
Watertightness around chimneys, plumbing vents and skylights.
Attic ventilation
Balance between soffits and ridge vents, a key factor in roof longevity.
Gutters and drainage
Debris buildup and whether water is carried well away from the foundation.
Visible plywood
Signs of sagging, mould or staining that reveal an older leak.
Complete written report
Photos, detailed observations and recommendations, with no obligation to buy.

Why a roofer's inspection differs from a general survey
Beyond a look through binoculars
In a standard pre-purchase inspection, the building inspector generally examines the roof from the ground with binoculars, without climbing onto it. Our inspection happens directly on the roof, which surfaces problems a visual check from a distance simply does not reveal.
Ventilation, a frequent blind spot
A roof that looks new can still hide a ventilation problem that will cut years off its life. It is a technical aspect only a roofing specialist assesses systematically, unlike a general building survey.
A report that carries weight in a negotiation
A detailed report, with photos and an estimate of how many years remain before replacement, becomes a concrete argument in a real estate negotiation — whether you are the buyer or the seller.
Prevention beats emergency repair
Most of the roofing emergencies we handle could have been caught months in advance during a routine inspection. An annual check, particularly after winter, remains the cheapest way to extend your roof's life.
The best time to inspect your roof
Spring, once the snow has melted, is the ideal moment to check the damage accumulated over winter — ice dams, shingles lifted by frost, damaged gutters. Autumn is the second strategic window: clearing debris before the first snow and confirming the roof is ready for another Quebec winter. An inspection after a significant weather event is always worthwhile, whatever the season.

Frequently asked questions — Roof Inspection
Clear answers to the questions we get asked most about this service.
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes, our inspection is entirely free and carries no obligation, anywhere in Greater Montreal. You receive a written report whatever you decide to do next.
How long does an inspection take?
Expect 30 to 45 minutes for a single-family home, depending on the roof's size and complexity.
Does a roof inspection replace a full pre-purchase inspection?
No, it complements it. A building inspector assesses the whole property, usually without climbing onto the roof. Our inspection focuses specifically on the roof, examined directly on site.
How often should a roof be inspected?
Once a year is good practice, ideally in spring after the snow melts, or immediately after a significant weather event such as a windstorm or hail.
What if the inspection finds a problem?
We explain the available options clearly — monitor, light maintenance or repair — with a detailed quote if work is needed. You are never obliged to proceed.
Do I need to be there for the inspection?
It is not required, but it is recommended if your schedule allows: it lets us go through the findings on site and answer your questions in real time rather than only in writing.
