Roof Inspections for Windsor homes

Windsor's homes range from early-1900s brick houses in Walkerville and the older core to post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions in the east and south ends. For Windsor buyers looking at older homes, a roof inspection often answers the big questions a general inspection can't: how many layers are on the roof, what condition the plank decking is in and whether the chimney flashing is due. That's useful information before you firm up an offer.

What's included

Detailed roof inspections with photos, an honest condition rating and a written list of what needs attention. Depending on your roof, the work can include:

Roof surface
Flashing
Ventilation
Attic
Roofline
Photos.
A condition summary.
A priority list.
A written price.

Full details, how the work runs and common questions are on our main roof inspections page.

Local conditions in Windsor

Mature trees across Windsor's established streets drop branches in summer storms and fill eavestroughs every fall, and freeze-thaw cycles through winter open up any weak flashing. That combination makes chimneys, valleys and roof edges the most common repair spots we see in the city.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for roof inspections in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

Will you go on the roof and into the attic?
Will I get photos and a written summary?
How much life do you estimate the roof has left?
Are any recommended repairs urgent, or can they wait?

Permits and approvals

Building permits in Windsor are issued by the City of Windsor's Building Services department. Replacing shingles with similar materials usually doesn't need a permit, but structural repairs, new roof framing, new skylight openings and changes to the roof structure generally do. We confirm what applies to your project during planning.
