What Is a Roof Inspection
Roof inspections take an in-depth, comprehensive look at your roofing system. It prevents you from being blindsided. It allows you to catch problems before they become expensive repairs.
We take a comprehensive look at all major elements of the roof. This involves checking the shingles, gutters, and the general soundness of the structure. Our certified inspectors leverage their years of experience and knowledge to deliver the most accurate and unbiased report possible, leaving no stone unturned.
They’ll look for missing or damaged shingles and watch for clogged or sagging gutters. They will look for signs of deterioration such as moss growth, which can weaken the roof and allow water to seep in.
Get a roof inspection at least bi-annually, if not quarterly. This strategy, which the National Roofing Contractors Association strongly advocates, best protects your home. Inspections should ideally take place in the fall and spring, as well as after severe weather, such as hailstorms.
Though inspections come with a small cost, they can extend the lifespan of a roof—up to 50 years—saving significant expenses over time.
Importance of Regular Roof Inspections
Keeping up the overall structural integrity of a home lies heavily on the shoulders of a well-kept roof. Consider them an investment. Regular roof inspections are a major key to keeping your commercial property safe and secure.
In Calgary, for example, homes contend with severe snow loads and extreme summer hailstorms. These inspections are key in catching small problems before they develop into large predicaments. For instance, identifying cracks or loose shingles while there is still time for a repair avoids water being pushed under the shingles in a downpour or snowmelt.
Calgary’s weather extremes—freezing winters paired with some of the warmest summers in Canada—can put your roofing materials under stress.
Routine inspections help you stay ahead of serious issues such as ice damming, a prevalent issue in Alberta.
They protect against damage from heat that can reduce your roof’s life expectancy. Considering roofs usually last between 15-25 years, preventive inspections can help them last longer and avoid expensive repairs.
Resolving minor issues is much more affordable than the expense of replacing large parts of a compromised roof. This phased-in approach delivers long-term, meaningful financial relief.
Benefits of Hiring Professionals
The expertise of professional roof inspectors provides you with the best knowledge and experience to ensure your roof is thoroughly inspected and handled with care. They’re the best at identifying hidden problems, like minor leaks or compromised areas. If you don’t address these issues now, they may turn into costly nightmares in the future.
Pro inspectors have a wealth of experience and skill that will grant them a well-earned reputation for providing top-tier service. Plus, they offer solutions that work within your budget.
Professionals use specialized tools such as infrared scanners and moisture detectors to perform more comprehensive inspections. It’s their work that uncovers the greater problems hidden from the naked eye.
These techniques identify your greatest threats immediately. By nipping them in the bud, you save yourself from surprise repair bills that may run into the hundreds of thousands.
Recommended Frequency for Inspections
Scheduling roof inspections semi-annually, preferably in spring and fall, is a simple and effective solution to protecting your roof and building for years to come. This method allows you to identify wear and tear before it becomes a critical issue, which is particularly important given Calgary’s unpredictable climate.
For example, inspections in spring and fall are best. During the fall, get ready for the long winter ahead. In the spring, make repairs to counter any damage incurred by snow or ice.
Especially after severe weather events such as hailstorms or heavy snow, an extra inspection is key. Calgary’s climate can be fickle, and storms usually result in damage that is not discernible from the ground. Taking care of problems as they arise avoids expensive fixes down the line.
Making roof inspections a part of your routine home maintenance will keep your roof performing the way it should. If you have an older roof still in good condition, inspect it every 3–5 years.
When it comes to flat roofs, yearly professional inspections are recommended. Quality proactive care extends your roof’s lifespan, keeping your building safe, comfortable, and valuable for decades to come.

What to Expect During a Roof Inspection
A comprehensive roof inspection will include a thorough inspection of the exterior and interior of your roof. Inspectors will take a close look at your shingles, flashing and the condition of your roof. They will seek out any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. They will look for moss growth, as this can damage materials and allow water to seep in. On the inside, the attic is a key contributor. Professional inspectors will also look for leaks, moisture or water stains that suggest underlying concerns.
Ceilings and walls are checked for signs of mold, peeling paint, or stains from potential leaks. Outside of the roof, gutters and ventilation systems are extensively inspected. Blocked gutters or lack of ventilation can lead to serious long-term damage, making this step very important.
Following the inspection, you will be provided with an in-depth report outlining our findings along with recommendations to resolve any problems you are experiencing. This proactive approach ensures your home is prepared for Calgary’s ever-changing seasons and extends your roof’s lifespan.
Steps in the Roof Inspection Process
With roof inspections, taking a methodical approach helps ensure each component of the system is inspected. We begin with an in-depth visual inspection of the roof’s exterior. Our eyes are focused on looking for obvious damage like missing or curled shingles, sagging spots, and wear and tear. This step is key in determining any existing issues that may be preventing the roof from performing at its full potential.
In addition, an in-depth visual inspection is done to look closely at shingles, flashing, gutters, and more. Check all shingles for cracking, granule loss, and any other signs of aging. Inspect the flashing around any roof vents, chimneys, and skylights and look for gaps or rusting. We check all gutters for clogs and leaks. They are an important part of any home’s ability to route water away from your home.
The inspection reaches into the attic space as the condition of insulation and ventilation is reviewed. Appropriate insulation is key to maximizing energy efficiency. Proper ventilation helps control moisture, which can lead to mold and wood rot.
All findings are organized into an extensive report, outlining existing conditions and offering suggestions for repair or maintenance.
Regular inspections, ideally in spring and fall, or after severe weather, can save thousands by extending the roof's life by 15 years or more.
Common Issues Detected During Inspections
Roof inspections usually uncover a number of issues that, if detected early on, can save you from expensive repairs in the future. Missing or broken shingles is the most prevalent issue. Calgary’s severe and unpredictable weather, such as high snow loads and damaging wind, can lift shingles or lead to shingle cracking.
Without shingles, the roof is exposed to leaks and more extensive damage. Just one lost shingle can let water through, causing ruin to the other parts of your roof system.
Indications of water intrusion or leakage are a common issue. Ceiling stains, wall stains, wet insulation, or mold growth are all signs that water has already breached your roof. Calgary’s freeze-thaw cycles can aggravate this condition even further by expanding small cracks.
Inadequate insulation and ventilation in housing are serious threats. Humidity – Poor airflow can lead to trapped moisture. In the wintertime this results in ice dams forming, and in the summer it overheats the attic, either situation decreasing the roof’s longevity.
Structural problems, such as sagging or weakened supports, threaten the roof’s integrity. Perform routine inspections on a semi-annual basis.
Target spring and fall to identify issues and address them before they become bigger (and oftentimes more costly) worries. By addressing these concerns, homeowners can protect their roofs, ensure safety, and maximize their roof’s lifespan of 15 to 50 years, depending on materials.
Tips to Extend Roof Lifespan Between Inspections
Proper roof maintenance and care between inspection opportunities can help prolong your roof’s life by many years, especially in Calgary’s notoriously harsh climate.
Make a habit of gutter and downspout cleaning and maintenance at least twice a year, preferably before the winter months. Clogged or misaligned gutters can cause water to pool and eventually create roof leaks or ice dams during freeze-thaw cycles.
Cut back tree limbs that hang over your roof to limit debris accumulation and avoid the risk of larger branches falling on your roof in storms.
Following a major weather event, inspect your roofing materials and conduct a thorough overview of possible damage. Look for missing or cracked shingles, curling edges, and leaks in the gutters.
Moss and algae need to be cleaned off right away because they hold moisture, drastically reducing your roof’s lifespan by several years. Additionally, make sure your attic is well-ventilated to keep moisture from seeping in and damaging your roof and home’s structure.
Address small repairs immediately, such as nailing down flapping shingles. This easy step can save you money in the long run and protect your home against Calgary’s damaging wind and ever-changing climate.
A good, sturdy, well-cared-for roof can go a long way in protecting your home and everything it holds from the dangers outside. With scheduled inspections, you can address problems before they develop into expensive replacements, improving the longevity of your roof as well.
