FAQs
What is a multi-point checklist roof inspection?
A multi-point checklist roof inspection is a systematic evaluation in which our certified inspector follows a predefined list of critical components—such as shingles, flashing, ventilation, gutters, soffits, and attic insulation—to ensure no aspect of your roof is overlooked. Each item is graded for condition, potential issues, and remaining lifespan, giving you a comprehensive health report of your roof.
Why are roof inspections especially important in Elora?
Elora experiences a mix of harsh winters, freeze–thaw cycles, high winds, and occasional heavy rains. These conditions accelerate wear on roofing materials, making hidden leaks, ice dams, and shingle deterioration more likely. Regular inspections help detect weather-related damage early, preventing small problems from turning into costly repairs and protecting the historic character of many Elora homes.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection?
We recommend a professional inspection at least once every two years, with an additional check after any major storm or if you notice warning signs such as missing shingles, ceiling stains, or excessive granules in gutters. For newer roofs, biennial checks maintain warranty compliance, while older roofs may benefit from annual inspections.
What does your inspection include?
Our Elora multi-point inspection covers • Exterior review: shingles, flashing, valleys, hip and ridge caps, chimney stacks, skylights, vents, and drip edges. • Structural assessment: decking integrity, sagging, and truss condition (when attic access is available). • Attic & ventilation: insulation levels, moisture buildup, proper airflow, and signs of mold. • Drainage system: gutters, downspouts, and fascia boards. • Safety & code compliance: anchoring of rooftop equipment and adequacy of ice- and water-shield in vulnerable areas. You receive a detailed written report with photos, priority rankings, and repair recommendations.
How long does the inspection take and will it disrupt my day?
A standard residential inspection in Elora typically takes 60–90 minutes. We arrange appointments at your convenience, and you don’t need to be home for the entire time—as long as we have safe roof access. Noise is minimal, and our technicians follow strict safety and cleanliness protocols, so disruption is negligible.
How much does a multi-point roof inspection cost and what happens afterward?
For most single-family homes in the Elora area, the inspection cost ranges from $225 to $295, depending on roof size and complexity. This fee is credited toward any repair work you authorize within 90 days. After the inspection, we email you the report within 24 hours, review the findings with you by phone or in person, and, if needed, provide a transparent estimate and timeline for recommended repairs.
