Split seam holding water
The membrane has opened along the seam at the drip edge, and the field is ponding right against it. Water isn't running off — it's sitting on the one part of the roof that's already failed.
We go over the roof and the attic, photograph what we find, and hand you a full report and a written quote to fix it. For homeowners, companies, and insurance.
Most roof problems are invisible until they're expensive. A hairline crack in flashing compounds silently for months — catch it early and a $500 repair stays a $500 repair, not a $15,000 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.Real conditions off Okanagan roofs. Every entry: a photo, what it is in plain language, and what it turns into if nobody touches it.
The membrane has opened along the seam at the drip edge, and the field is ponding right against it. Water isn't running off — it's sitting on the one part of the roof that's already failed.
The seal strip has let go across a run of tabs and they're standing proud of the course below. From the ground the roof still looks intact — from up here it's already open.
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 — your report 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 — then decking, ventilation, insulation, and moisture readings from below.
Every plane, edge, and penetration documented — including the areas that can't be reached safely on foot. Nothing goes in the report 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.
A full report with annotated photos, findings ranked by severity — and a written quote to fix or remedy every issue we found.
No verbal hand-waving from a ladder. Whether it's for you, your company, or your insurance, we produce a full report and photo report you can act on, budget from, and file.
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.
Every item ranked: fix now, fix soon, or plan for it over the next one to five years. Urgency without the scare tactics.
A written quote to fix or remedy every issue we find — repair-versus-replace honesty included. If the roof is healthy, the report says exactly that.
Highlights from the checklist below — the full 47 points adapt to your specific 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.
Wind, hail, or heavy snow load — damage documented while it's fresh is damage your insurer can't dispute.
Know what the roof is worth before you sign. A report turns the biggest unknown in the deal into a line item.
Ageing systems fail at the details first — seals, flashings, fasteners. Annual checks stretch the years you have left.
Okanagan freeze-thaw turns small gaps into ice dams. A fall inspection is the cheapest winter insurance there is.
Panels live 25+ years — the roof under them should too. Verify before anything gets mounted through your membrane.
Claims, renewals, or new coverage — our reports are formatted for adjusters, with the photos and measurements they ask for.
A typical residential inspection takes 60–90 minutes covering the roof and the attic. We don't rush: thorough inspections catch the problems that quick walk-overs miss. Your photo report and quote follow right after.
We recommend it but it's not required for the exterior inspection. If you want us to inspect the attic (which we strongly recommend), someone should be home to provide access. We'll schedule at a time that works for you.
Yes — our standard inspection 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 too; 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.
We'll inspect it properly, show you exactly what we found, and hand you a photo report and a written quote to fix it — whether it's for you, your company, or your insurer.
