A roof inspection in Winnipeg costs anywhere from free to $250, depending on the scope of the assessment, and the final price varies a lot based on roof size, roof complexity, and site conditions, so treat that range as a starting point, not a firm quote. For most single-family homes with asphalt shingles, Roof Repair Winnipeg offers a free visual inspection and written report. We charge for a full written assessment only when a roof is large, steep, multi-level, or needs a detailed condition report for an insurance claim.
What's Included in a Roof Inspection
A proper roof inspection is more than walking around the house and squinting at shingles. what we check on every roof we inspect:
- Shingle condition, curling, cracking, granule loss, and asphalt shingle wear patterns that tell us how much life is left
- Flashing, the metal around chimneys, skylights, and vent stacks, where most leaks start
- Ice dam damage, evidence of winter ice dams and the freeze-thaw damage they cause to the roof edge and eaves
- Hail damage, bruising, granule loss, and impact marks from Winnipeg's May-to-September hail season
- Vent boots and pipe collars, cracked rubber boots are a common leak source that many roofers miss
- Ventilation, whether your attic has enough intake and exhaust airflow to prevent condensation and ice dams
- Gutters and downspouts, for clogs, sagging, or signs of water backing up under the roof edge
- Interior signs, we check attic rafters and decking for water stains, rot, or mold that indicate a slow leak
You get a written report with photos, a clear explanation of what's failing and what's fine, and a straight answer about whether a repair will hold or a replacement is needed.
Roof Inspection Pricing
Roof inspections range from free to $250. what typically drives the price:
- Free, Standard visual inspection for a typical single-family home with asphalt shingles, where we can access the roof safely and the scope is straightforward
- $100–$250, Larger homes, steep or multi-level roofs, flat or low-slope roofs, or any roof that needs a more detailed assessment
- Additional work, If we need to remove snow or ice to inspect, or if the roof has multiple layers of shingles, that adds time and labour
Again, these are starting ranges, not quotes. The final cost varies a lot by job size, roof complexity, and site conditions. We'll tell you the exact price before we start, no surprises on the invoice.
If you're filing an insurance claim for hail or storm damage, we'll write an adjuster-ready damage report as part of the inspection. That report documents the damage, includes photos, and gives you something concrete to hand to your insurance company.
How the Inspection Process Works
Step 1: Call or book online. You'll talk directly to the person who will inspect your roof, not a call centre. We'll ask about what you've noticed (leaks, missing shingles, recent hail) and schedule a time that works.
Step 2: On-site inspection. We walk the roof, check the flashing, vents, shingles, and attic, and document everything with photos. If the roof is wet, icy, or unsafe to walk, we'll do a thorough ground-and-ladder inspection and tell you what we could and couldn't see.
Step 3: Written report. Within 24 hours, you get a written report with photos, a condition summary, and a clear recommendation. If a repair will hold, we say so. If a replacement is the smarter long-term call, we say that too, with reasoning, not pressure.
Step 4: Your choice. You decide what to do next. There's no obligation, and no sales team following up. If you want us to do the work, the person who inspected your roof writes the quote and does the repair.
