Inspection Montreal: what does the operation involve?
Description of the offer
Roof inspections take place mainly during one season, outside of winter. Indeed, the snow may disrupt the operation by hampering the technician or by hiding certain elements. The process involves checking the condition of the roof and building for signs that confirm the presence of problems.
A roof in poor condition is often the source of various unwanted elements, including mold, moss and fungi. They can be caused by rainwater entering the house. Not only do they give off an unpleasant odor, but they are also harmful to health. Overcoming it becomes imperative, to avoid headaches or respiratory problems.
In this case, a repair of the cover is necessary. Contact a professional to identify the source of roofing problems, such as cracks, breakage or wear. A good technician has the right know-how, but also the tools necessary for inspection.
As for the price of the offer, it depends on several parameters, in particular the possible solutions to reach the roof or the equipment used. At Toiture Couvreur Laval, we guarantee fair prices.
Conduct of the inspection
It is a good idea to perform a roof inspection session in good conditions. This is so that the technician can comfortably access every corner. Pick a day without rain or snow.
The roofer will inquire about your roof before starting the inspection. He will ask you questions about the frequency of maintenance, the age and the problems already encountered at this level. Also, it is possible that it seeks to know the anomalies in the building, in particular the presence of undesirable.
The next step is to access the roof using a conventional ladder or to view its condition using a drone. Note that you can accompany the craftsman to the roof, but you do so at your own risk.
It is best to avoid this alternative which may create an accident. In fact, photos of the inspection can be shown to you at the end of the operation.
Items subject to inspection
The external part of the building
The first instinct of the craftsman in charge of the inspection will be to examine the roof. It performs a general diagnosis to detect abnormalities, including cracking, swelling, or any change in shape. Some tiles may indeed have moved due to bad weather.
Quickly solving these problems is essential, because they serve as a passage for infiltrated water.
It is the same for the gutters. A control is needed to assess their performance in evacuating rainwater, to prevent water infiltration. To do this, they must be free from obstruction caused by dead leaves or particles.
Checking the building’s ventilation system is also part of the technician’s duties. It defines the need for maintenance.
The internal part of the building
An inspection according to the standards involves examining the exterior, but also the interior of the building. Indeed, certain internal elements can also be at the origin of the poor performance of a roof, in particular the pillars. A control at this level makes it possible to define their level of resistance and their overall state.
The elements supporting the roof also require examination. Weeds and insects are harmful. They weaken wooden materials by attacking them. This circumstance is likely to modify the shape of the roofs, making them less efficient.
Avoid skipping the internal inspection at all costs. Of course, failures at this level can increase construction costs, but doing so will give you peace of mind.
Types of roofs inspected
Toiture Couvreur Laval inspects and treats many types of roofs with complete equipment, namely:
- A shingle roof: it is sensitive to sunlight, hence the need to protect it to avoid cracks. It is moisture resistant and low maintenance.
- A flat roof: it can be concrete, metal or wood. It requires technology that optimizes its tightness, to avoid infiltrated water.
- A metal roof: corrugated or folded, it supports snow and damage caused by ice. Its drawback is its poor resistance to salt air and electrolysis.
- An elastomeric membrane roof: handling this type of roof exposes the risk of fire, hence the need for professional intervention. Nevertheless, it is resistant to bad weather.
- A slate roof: it is waterproof and elegant. Its design adapts to several styles of buildings. However, it is fragile and susceptible to cracks.
- A green roof: it is suitable for gardens, and terraces. It is aesthetic and resistant, but its cost is high.

How to perform a fearless and secure inspection?
Carrying out your own roof inspection without being a professional is possible. The main thing is to prepare properly, but above all to have courage. It is important not to have vertigo, a disorder that increases the risk of falling. A flat roof is easier to access and inspect, unlike a sloping one, if you are new to this mission.
After the psychological preparation comes the choice of the appropriate outfit for a safe and successful inspection. It is recommended to wear shoes equipped with anti-slip technology to prevent slipping. Lightweight, simple clothing provides more freedom of movement. Also, there is no risk of them getting caught on objects.
The next step is to tackle the actual roof examination. Access the blanket with a stable ladder for your safety. Using a drone to do the job for you is a good idea. However, get help from an assistant.

Daniel Bryan2021-09-18Just after the big storm that took place a month ago, we went online and filled the specific form that we have found on this company’s website. This was on a Saturday afternoon. The next day the manager called us and visited our house to evaluate the situation with the roof. The roof suffered grave damages, a condition that couldn’t go unfixed for many days since everyone feared the next heavy rain. The manager provided us with a reasonable quote and the next day they started working on our roof with professionalism and extra care.

Sammy Walker2021-09-16The reason we called your company was because we desired a makeover of our house and our roof. We also wanted to improve the insulation in our house. Your company suggested installing a glass wool mat and a HPV underlay system, a system that was installed in addition to the structure that was already there. Two years have passed since then and the insulation works greatly keeping our house warmer and cooler. If you want to make a long-term investment or you simply face issues with your roof, do not hesitate to contact them.
Paulette Rhoades2021-09-15We couldn’t be happier with the work performed in our roof last June. The interior and exterior of the roof along with the finishing touches are perfect and very qualitative. Also, the insulation installed gives to our house a sense of warmth and comfort that we did not have before. Overall, we are very grateful for everything this roofing company did on our roof and for its polite, experienced and professional crew. We will recommend it to anyone we know.

Robert Hutchings2021-09-11I am a man of the same profession (a bricklayer) and trust me when I say that I have never seen such a professional and hard-working roofing company. The reason I hired them was to apply a waterproofing insulation in my terrace. The end-result is very well and after severe and heavy rains, not a single issue occurred. The tightness is excellent and everything works and fits perfectly. I will definitely count on this company again in the future if I ever need any work done on my roof.
Janna Manley2021-09-06Great professionals. Ratio quality-price that no one else can beat. We completely recommend them and we are so happy that our terrace roof got fixed. In addition to that, they provided waterproofing and flooring services in our attic. They employed a 10 people team in our house, everyone a serious and professional individual. The result is of the utmost quality and very clean. Work started when agreed upon and finished the same. The finishing touches are great and we are very happy. If we ever need any other repairs, we will definitely use them again without hesitation.
Jonathan Sessions2021-09-05This specific roofing company offered to waterproof our roof and terrace and we are extremely happy with the end-result.
