What to know about Roof inspection

A roof inspection is a close look at the roof covering and everything that keeps water out along with it: flashing, valleys, vents, the chimney, the gutters and, just as important, the attic underneath. Its purpose is to establish what condition the roof is in, what needs attention now and what can wait, before small problems end up as water in a ceiling. In a climate of heavy snow, ice, freeze–thaw cycles and summer storms, that information is worth having at predictable moments rather than only after a leak appears.

Roof inspection costs in Kawartha Lakes

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:

  • Roof size and the number of layers to remove
  • Roofing material
  • Slope and how steep the roof is to work on
  • Access to the roof and the site
  • Condition of the decking underneath
  • Flashing, vents, skylights and chimneys to work around
  • Amount of repair work compared with a full replacement

How to choose roofers in Kawartha Lakes

  • Ask for a written quote that lists the materials, the scope of work and what happens if damaged decking is found once the old roof is off.
  • Look for a roofer who inspects the roof in person, including the attic if possible, before giving you a price.
  • Check that they carry liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, since roof work is high-risk.
  • Compare quotes on the same scope: tear-off or overlay, underlayment, flashing, vents and cleanup.
  • Ask to see recent roofs they've done that are similar to yours in material and slope.

Questions to ask roofers before you hire

  • Will you remove the old roofing or install over it, and why?
  • How will you handle damaged decking or other surprises once the roof is open?
  • Who will pull the permit if one is needed?
  • Can you show me proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage?
  • What warranty do you offer on your workmanship, and how long does it last?
  • How will you protect my yard, gutters and siding, and how will you clean up nails and debris?
  • Will your own crew do the work, or will you use subcontractors?

Roof inspection permits in Ontario

Some roof inspection work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common roof inspection questions

Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?

Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.

How many pros will contact me?

We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.

Do I have to hire someone?

No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
