Most roof problems don't announce themselves. They build quietly over time until a small issue becomes a big, expensive one. A professional roof inspection is the simplest way to stay ahead of potential problems, protect your investment, and have complete confidence in the roof over your head.
T. Simpson Roofing has been inspecting roofs for homeowners across Barrie, Newmarket, and Central Ontario since 1992. Our inspectors know what to look for, where to look, and how to give you a clear, honest picture of your roof's condition with no obligation to commit to anything on the spot.
You don’t have to wait for something to go wrong to have your roof inspected. Here are the most common situations where a professional inspection makes sense:
High winds, hail, heavy snow, and ice can all cause damage that isn't visible from the ground. If your area has been through serious weather, an inspection gives you a clear picture of where things stand before small damage becomes a bigger problem.
A roof inspection before a real estate transaction protects both parties. Buyers get peace of mind knowing exactly what they're taking on. Sellers can address issues before they become deal-breakers or negotiating points.
Older roofs benefit from regular checkups. Catching wear and deterioration early means you can plan and budget for repairs or replacement on your own terms, rather than being forced into an emergency decision.
Water stains on your ceiling, drafts, higher energy bills, or granules in your gutters are all signs worth investigating. An inspection takes the guesswork out of the equation.
Even if everything looks fine, a periodic inspection is a smart part of home ownership. We recommend having your roof professionally inspected every three to five years.
If you're wondering whether your roof is worth having looked at, that's reason enough to book one. A quick inspection today can save you thousands down the road.
Our inspections are thorough and leave nothing to guesswork. Here’s what our team looks at on every inspection:
We check for cracking, curling, blistering, and granule loss across the entire roof surface. These are early indicators of a roof that's approaching the end of its lifespan or has sustained damage.
Flashing around chimneys, skylights, vents, and roof edges is one of the most common sources of leaks. We inspect every flashing point for cracks, separation, and corrosion.
We check that your gutters and eavestroughs are clear, properly secured, and directing water away from your home the way they should be.
Damaged or deteriorating soffit and fascia can compromise your roof's ventilation and allow moisture and pests into your home. We inspect these components as part of every inspection.
Poor attic ventilation shortens roof life, increases energy costs, and can lead to serious moisture problems. We check for proper airflow, insulation condition, and any signs of moisture buildup or damage.
We look for sagging, soft spots, and any sign that the underlying structure needs attention. These issues go beyond surface-level problems and need to be caught early.
After every inspection you'll receive a straightforward summary of what we found, what it means for your roof, and what if anything should be done about it. No pressure, no inflated scope of work, just the facts.
Less than 2% of roofing contractors in North America earn this designation. It means every inspection we carry out is held to the highest standards in the industry.
If an inspection leads to repair or replacement work, every job is backed by a 50-year material warranty and a 25-year labour warranty. We stand behind our work long after the job is done.
Since 1992, we've been inspecting and protecting roofs across Central Ontario. We know this region, its climate, and exactly what to look for.
If your inspection uncovers work that needs to be done, we offer flexible financing options to help make the next steps manageable.
Not sure what a professional roof inspection involves or whether you need one? Here are the answers to the questions we hear most often.
Most roof inspections take between 30 and 60 minutes on site. If you need a detailed report with photos, that is typically sent out the same evening. We'll give you a clear timeline when you book.
A standard roof inspection is $200. If you'd like to combine your inspection with a minor repair in the same visit, we offer a diagnostic and repair service for $350. A technician comes out, identifies the problem, and fixes it on the spot if it's a minor issue. It's a practical one-stop option for homeowners who suspect a specific problem and want it dealt with straight away.
We recommend a professional inspection every three to five years for most roofs. If your roof is older, or if you've recently been through a significant storm, more frequent inspections are a good idea.
Yes. A proper roof inspection requires getting eyes on the roof surface directly, not just an assessment from the ground. Our inspectors are trained and equipped to do this safely.
We'll walk you through exactly what was found, what it means, and what your options are. There is no pressure to commit to anything on the spot. If you do want to proceed with repairs or replacement, we'll provide a detailed quote before any work begins.
Yes. If we find damage during an inspection that may be covered by your home insurance, we can help document the findings and work with your insurance provider to support your claim. Learn more about our roof insurance claim services.

Our recent experience with T. Simpson Roofing has been overwhelmingly positive. They responded quickly to our urgent request for help and we are now able to move forward with restoring a roofing system seriously compromised by fraudulent operators. Tim's thorough inspection, comprehensive report, and follow-up consultation have been invaluable, and we are most grateful for Angela's friendly assistance in the office. We look forward to working with them in the near future.
