Roofing Inspection Services

Don't guess your roof’s condition. Get a professional inspection done

Is your roof in good shape from the inside or outside? Let our experts in professional roof inspection services in Barrie, Newmarket & Central Ontario inspect your roof and identify areas that may need attention.

Sometimes a roof can appear completely fine from the ground, but has issues that only become apparent when it leaks or causes other problems.

A professional roof inspection will provide you with better insight into how well your roof is doing. Rather than judging by age or apparent damage, an inspection involves checking the roofing system and determining if there are any areas that require repair.

Since 1992, T. Simpson Roofing has been inspecting and working on roofs throughout the Barrie, Newmarket, and Central Ontario areas. We thoroughly examine your roof, explain the findings, and discuss what needs to be done immediately and what can be monitored over time.

When is the best time to get a roof inspection?

Don’t wait for a stain to show on the ceiling or a leak to occur to schedule a roof inspection. There are some situations that can make an inspection important.

 

After severe weather

Shingles, flashing, drainage components, and other components of your roofing system can be damaged by wind, hail, heavy snow, and ice. From the ground, there could be some damage that isn't obvious. An inspection may help to uncover issues before they become more serious.

Before buying or selling a home

The roof can represent a massive future cost for a homeowner. A rigorous inspection gives the buyer a clearer idea of the condition of the roof. For the seller, it will help identify any issues before they enter into a property negotiation.

When your roof is aging

Roof age alone does not determine if roof replacement is needed. The quality of installation, the material used, ventilation, weather conditions, and maintenance all have an impact on performance. A roof inspection will help you determine the condition of an aging roof.

When you notice something different

Missing or loose shingles or ceiling stains may point to an issue with the roof. Even granules in the eavestrough or damaged flashing may indicate that you should call a professional team. Early detection can provide you with more options in solving the issue.

What do we check during a roof inspection?

Our roof inspection is thorough and detailed. We check the parts that help keep a home safe.

1.

Shingles and surface condition

We check for cracked shingles. We also watch for curling, blistering, or lifting shingles. These issues point to weak spots and wear over time. Based on our findings, we can tell whether the problem is only in one area or if the problem affects the entire roof.

2.

Flashing and seals

Roof transitions around chimneys, skylights, vents, and walls can be areas vulnerable to water intrusion. We check these for gaps, corrosion, separation, and other issues.

3.

Eavestroughs, soffit and fascia

Exterior protection is important for drainage and roof-edge components as well. We inspect for deterioration, moisture, drainage issues, and potential roofing system surrounding issues.

4.

Attic and ventilation

In addition to the above, when appropriate, we also check for signs of moisture and lack of airflow, as well as other attic conditions that could impact roof performance.

5.

Roof deck and structural condition

The roofing material is only one part of the system. If you notice sagging or soft spots or any other structural problems, the structure might need to be inspected.

Most importantly, we explain our findings. Not all roofing problems require a complete replacement of the roof. The solution can be a repair, maintenance monitoring, or may require a replacement in the future, depending on the condition.

Roof Inspection FAQs

What is the time frame for a roof inspection?

The duration of the inspection varies from 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the property, roof design, access, and condition.

What is the price of a roof inspection?

The current cost of a standard roof inspection is $200. For a diagnostic and repair service, you can have a roofing inspection as well as a minor repair done for $350.

How often should I get my roof inspected?

Most roofs require a professional checkup every 3-5 years to detect any developing problems. If you have an older roof or house that has been impacted by weather, you might want to have it checked more often.

Will the inspector need to climb on the roof?

When conditions are safe and appropriate, the roof surface is inspected directly. This enables problems to be evaluated at a greater depth than can be done at ground level.

What happens if you find a problem?

We will give information about the problem and talk about what should be done next. This might include repair, maintenance, monitoring, or replacement. Before going ahead, you will have an idea of what work is recommended.

Can a roof inspection be useful in an insurance claim?

An inspection may be able to capture any damage that could be relevant to an insurance claim that may have occurred during a storm or weather event. But the coverage is determined by your insurance company based on your insurance policy.

Do you inspect roofs before a home purchase?

Yes. A pre-purchase inspection will enable buyers to be aware of the condition of the roof and any possible repairs or costs of future roofing work that may need to be considered.
