We go over the roof, photograph what we find, and give you the photos and a quote to fix it. For homeowners, businesses and insurers.
Most roof problems are invisible until they’re expensive. A hairline crack in flashing compounds silently for months — catch it early and a small repair stays a small repair, not an emergency.
By the time a stain shows on your ceiling, water has already been through the deck, the insulation, and the framing. Inspection is how you buy back that lead time.Typical conditions on Okanagan roofs. Every entry: a photo, what it is in plain language, and what it turns into if nobody touches it.
The torch-on membrane has opened at the seam and there is water sitting in it. This one is not a risk of a leak, it is a leak — water is going into the assembly every time it rains. It needs fixing immediately.
Shingles have come off the field and the vent has come off with them, so there is an opening where it sat as well as bare underlayment around it. This happens in high wind and storms, or where things were not nailed down properly to begin with. The rest of the roof is in good condition — localized damage on a sound roof, not a roof at the end of its life.
Seams intact, drainage running clean, no soft spots underfoot. This is what a healthy section looks like in the report — and it gets written up exactly like the problems do.
Sample entries, shown to illustrate the format. A formal inspection report is a paid service: it covers your roof item by item, with a quote attached to every finding that needs work.
A roofer’s hands on the flashings, seams, fasteners and seals, and the deck felt underfoot for soft spots. Walked wherever it is safe to walk, not squinted at from a ladder.
Every plane, edge, and penetration documented — including the areas that can’t be reached safely on foot. On foot where it is safe; by drone where the roof calls for it. Nothing goes on the quote that we can’t show you.
Each issue gets a severity: what it is, how urgent it is, and what it turns into if it’s left alone through another Okanagan winter.
The photos of what we found, and a quote to fix each issue. Need a formal report with the findings ranked by severity? We produce one for a fee.
No verbal hand-waving from a ladder. You get photos you can act on and a quote you can budget from. Need a formal report to file, for insurance, a sale or your records? We produce one for a fee.
Photography of every elevation and every defect, with findings circled and explained in plain language.
Every issue marked and explained — what it is, where it is, and what it means for the roof system.
In a formal report, every item is ranked: fix now, fix soon, or plan for it over the next one to five years. Urgency without the scare tactics.
A quote to fix every issue we find — and an honest answer on repair or replace. If the roof is healthy, we tell you exactly that.
What gets looked at on every inspection. The list adapts to your roof system, flat or pitched.
Plus system-specific points for your roof type — seam probing on membrane roofs, fastener patterns on metal, batten condition on tile. Ventilation is one of the most common findings on this list, and it is work we do ourselves — see roof ventilation.
Wind, hail, or heavy snow load — damage documented while it’s fresh is far harder for an insurer to dispute.
Know what shape the roof is in before you sign. A report turns the biggest unknown in the deal into a line item.
Aging systems fail at the details first — seals, flashings, fasteners. Annual checks stretch the years you have left.
Okanagan freeze-thaw turns small gaps into leaks. A fall inspection is a cheap way to go into winter knowing where you stand.
Panels stay up for decades — the roof under them should too. Verify before anything gets mounted through your roof.
Claims, renewals, or new coverage — our reports are laid out the way adjusters usually want them: photos, measurements, findings.
A typical residential inspection takes 60–90 minutes on the roof. We don’t rush: thorough inspections catch the problems that quick walk-overs miss. Your photos and quote follow.
Not usually — the inspection happens on the roof, so you do not need to be there for it. We will let you know if anything about your roof means we need access inside, which is not often.
Yes — the standard inspection, the photos and the quote to fix what we find are free, with no obligation. If you need a formal inspection report — for insurance, a sale, a property file, or a company’s maintenance records — we produce those for a fee; just tell us what it’s for. We believe informed owners make better decisions, and that earns us their trust.
We explain exactly what we found, walk you through the photos, and give you our honest recommendation. If repairs are needed, we provide a detailed quote. If your roof is in good shape, we tell you that too — we don’t invent problems to sell services.
When a leak cannot be traced by eye, a thermal scan can show wet insulation under the membrane. It is a separate service and we quote it separately.
We’ll inspect it properly, show you exactly what we found, and give you the photos and a quote to fix it — whether it’s for you, your business or your insurer.
