FAQs
Why is a professional roof inspection important for Kingston homeowners?
Kingston’s lake-effect snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and summer humidity put constant stress on roofing systems. A professional inspection identifies small issues—loose shingles, flashing gaps, attic moisture—before they develop into leaks, mould, or structural rot. Early detection protects your home’s value, keeps energy bills down, and can help preserve warranty and insurance coverage.
What does an Attic Checks Roofing inspection include?
Our certified inspectors evaluate both the exterior roof and the attic space. Outside, we examine shingles, metal panels, flashing, chimneys, skylights, gutters, and ventilation caps. Inside the attic, we check insulation depth, vapour barriers, ventilation flow, signs of condensation, pest intrusion, and structural components such as rafters and sheathing. High-resolution photos, moisture-meter readings, and an infrared scan are included in every report.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Kingston’s climate?
We recommend a full inspection at least once every two years, with an additional check after severe weather events such as windstorms or hail. Older roofs (15+ years) or homes surrounded by mature trees benefit from annual inspections. Regular assessments allow you to budget for maintenance and avoid emergency repairs during the winter when work is more difficult and costly.
Will the inspection damage my roof or attic?
No. Our team follows a non-invasive protocol. We walk only on load-bearing areas, use padded ladders, and employ drones and telescopic cameras to view hard-to-reach spots. In the attic we move insulation carefully and replace it exactly as found. Moisture meters and infrared cameras work without cutting or drilling, so your roofing system remains intact throughout the process.
How long does a roof inspection take and when will I receive the report?
A standard single-family home in Kingston takes about 60–90 minutes to inspect. Larger or more complex roofs may take up to two hours. You’ll receive a comprehensive digital report—with annotated photos, infrared images, and prioritized recommendations—by email the same day, typically within three hours of our visit.
What happens if you find problems during the inspection?
Your report will classify each issue as minor maintenance, recommended repair, or urgent action. We provide transparent cost estimates and multiple solution options. If requested, Attic Checks Roofing can perform the repairs, coordinate with your insurance adjuster, or supply documentation for warranty claims. We also schedule a follow-up inspection after any repair work to verify that the problem has been fully resolved.
