What does a roof inspection include?

A roof inspection is a close look at the condition of your roof, from the shingles to the details around openings. The aim is a clear picture of how much life is left and what needs attention.

What gets checked

  • Shingle condition, including cracks, curling, granule loss and lifted tabs.
  • Flashing at chimneys, walls, vents and skylights.
  • Valleys, ridges and edges.
  • Eavestroughs, downspouts and fascia where they affect the roof.
  • Signs of past repairs or hail bruising.
  • Where possible, the attic side, looking at ventilation, insulation, staining and the wood of the roof deck.

You receive a written summary, with photos where practical, listing what was found and what we suggest. It is a record you can keep, share with a buyer or show to an insurer.

When is a roof inspection worth getting?

An inspection helps whenever a roof decision is coming up and you want facts before spending money.

  • Buying a home. A roof is one of the most expensive parts of a house, and a general home inspection may only look at it briefly.
  • Selling a home. A written report can answer buyer questions early.
  • After a storm. A report supports an insurance claim and shows hidden hail bruising.
  • Before winter. Catching loose flashing or lifted shingles is easier than fixing ice damage later.
  • Aging roof. You can plan and budget for a replacement instead of reacting to leaks.

If you already see a leak, go straight to roof repair. If the inspection finds a worn-out roof, roof replacement is the next page to read.

What do we look for on Regina roofs?

Local conditions shape what we pay attention to. Regina has hard winters, strong wind and hail, so the checklist leans toward weather damage.

On older 1950s and 1960s bungalows we watch for multiple old layers, brittle shingles, tight or blocked attic ventilation and thin insulation, all of which contribute to ice dams. On newer homes we look at installation quality, nailing, flashing details and how the roof has handled early weather.

We also check for signs of past hail, because bruised shingles can look fine from the street. For commercial buildings, see commercial roofing, where flat roof inspection focuses on drainage, seams and membrane condition.

Some buyers, lenders or insurers ask for a letter or report on roof condition. Ask them what they need before booking, so the report covers it.

We quote inspections in writing, in CAD, after hearing about the building. Several things affect the price.

  • The size and number of roof sections.
  • Pitch and height, which affect safe access.
  • Whether it is a house or a commercial building.
  • How much detail and photo documentation is needed.
  • Whether attic access is available.
  • Any special report format a buyer, lender or insurer has asked for.

If the inspection leads to repair or replacement work with us, we will explain the next steps and give a separate written quote. There is no obligation to hire us for the work, and you can use the report to compare other quotes.

How long does it take, and when should you call?

Most house inspections take a short visit on site, with the written report to follow. Timing depends on roof size, weather and access. Rain, ice or deep snow can make the roof unsafe to walk, and we will not take risks to meet a schedule.

What to expect

  • We confirm the address, access and any attic entry.
  • We inspect the roof and take photos.
  • We go through the main findings with you in plain words.
  • You receive the written report.

Call when you are buying or selling, after hail or high wind, when your roof is getting old, or when you simply want to know where it stands. Book early if you are in a tight purchase window. Start from our Regina roofing home page or use the quote form and tell us the reason for the inspection.

Questions about roofing in Regina

How is a roof inspection different from a home inspection?

A general home inspection covers the whole house and usually spends limited time on the roof. A roof inspection focuses on the roofing in detail, including flashing, ventilation and signs of storm damage, and produces a more specific report. Buyers often use both, especially on older homes or after a recent storm.

Do you walk on the roof?

When it is safe, yes, because a close look finds more than binoculars from the ground. On steep, icy, wet or fragile roofs we may inspect from the edges, use other access methods or rely on the attic view. Safety comes first, and we will say clearly what we could and could not check.

Can an inspection help with an insurance claim?

It can. A written report with photos documents hail bruising, wind damage or other storm effects, which is useful when you speak to your insurer. We cannot promise a claim will be approved or tell you what your policy covers, but a clear record helps the adjuster understand the damage.

What is a roof certification?

Some buyers, lenders or insurers ask for a letter stating the roof's condition or expected remaining life. There is no single standard, so ask the requesting party what they need and in what format. We can describe the condition of the roof in writing, but we will not state anything we cannot support.

When is the best time of year for an inspection?

Spring after the thaw shows winter damage, and fall before snow lets you fix problems early. Buying, selling or storm situations cannot wait, so inspect when you need to. Deep winter snow can hide the roof surface, so the report may carry limits you should read carefully.
