Roof Inspections in Winnipeg
Someone goes up, looks properly, and writes down what they found and what it means.
Most people call a roofer when something is already wrong, and an inspection from Winnipeg Roof Pros is the cheaper version of that conversation. It is the only way to know whether you are planning for a roof in two years or in ten.
What We Actually Look At
The shingles are the obvious part: whether they are curling, cracking, losing granules, or lifting. But the failures that cause leaks are usually elsewhere.
We check flashing at every wall, chimney, and skylight. We check the valleys, where the most water concentrates, and the vent boots, which go brittle and split with age. We check the eaves and the state of the fascia behind the trough. We check the eavestroughs themselves, since a trough that has pulled away or is packed solid backs water into the roof edge.
We also look in the attic where there is access. The underside of the deck shows staining, frost, mould, and daylight through gaps far more honestly than the surface does, and it is where a ventilation problem becomes obvious.
What You Get
Written findings, with photos, in plain language: what is wrong, what is fine, what to keep an eye on, and roughly how long the roof has left.
If the answer is that the roof is in decent shape and needs nothing, that is a legitimate result and we will tell you so. An inspection that always concludes you need a new roof is not an inspection.
An inspection is what tells you whether you are looking at a repair or a replacement, rather than guessing from the ground.

Roof Inspections Questions
How much does a roof inspection cost?
An inspection tied to a quote for work is free — we are going up anyway to price the job. A standalone documented inspection, like a pre-purchase report for a buyer, is a paid service, and we tell you the fee before we book it.
How often should a roof be inspected?
Every couple of years is reasonable for a roof in good condition, and after any major hail or wind storm. Older roofs are worth looking at annually, because the failures that matter are cheaper to catch early.
Can you inspect a roof in winter?
We can assess a lot from the ground, the attic, and the eaves in winter, and the attic view actually tells you more about ventilation and moisture than the shingles do. Snow cover limits what can be seen on the surface, so a full surface inspection may need to wait for a melt.
I am buying a house. Is the home inspection enough?
A general home inspector assesses the roof among everything else in the building, usually from the ground or a ladder at the edge. If the roof is old, complicated, or the report flags it, a roofer walking the actual roof will tell you considerably more.
