Roof Inspection

Why a Roof Inspection Matters

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense — but it’s often the most overlooked.

The roof acts as a protective shield, guarding your home against Montreal’s unpredictable climate — from heavy snowfall and freezing rain to summer heatwaves. Yet, it’s one of the most neglected parts of a property.

At Mose Home Inspection, we believe your roof deserves attention. Just like going for a regular health check-up, your roof needs inspections to stay in good shape. The more regularly you inspect it, the less likely you are to face serious problems later.

Quebec homes face unique stressors and harsh conditions year-round. These include:

  • Extreme heat and cold
  • Heavy snow, ice, and strong winds
  • Wear and tear from age
  • Design or construction flaws
  • Lack of regular maintenance

Over time, these elements can damage roofing materials. If roof issues aren’t caught early, they can lead to water leaks, interior damage, and high repair costs. A damaged roof can also lower your property’s value.

What We Look For
During a Roof
Inspection

At Mose Home Inspection, we perform a visual inspection of the roof and gather important clues from other areas, including from inside the home.

This combined approach helps us evaluate:

  • General condition of the roof
  • Signs of wear or damage
  • Possible water infiltration
  • Roof performance concerns

Every inspection is done carefully, with safety in mind — both for our inspectors and you property.

How we perform a Roof Inspection

Safe. Thorough. Professional.
At Mose Home Inspection, we prioritize safety and precision. Our inspectors assess roofs based on accessibility and weather conditions. If direct access is unsafe due to snow, ice, or wind, we use cameras, drones, binoculars, coupled with the information that can be gathered from the interior inspection, to give the inspector satisfactory information to complete their report.

We also examine relevant areas in the attic and upper floors, looking for signs of:

  • Water intrusion
  • Ventilation problems
  • Insulation issues
  • Mold or condensation

This multifaceted approach ensures accurate reporting without risking safety or causing any damage to your property

What Our Clients Are
Saying

L

My husband and I purchased our first home and Carol came highly recommended as an inspector and we couldn't be happier with her services! She was prompt and responsive over email and found the availability to come inspect our new home within just a few days at our request. She spent a lot of time going over every detail and making us aware of all the issues with the house in a professional and friendly manner. We felt confident in our purchase and well informed on minor repairs that arose. She was wonderful and we'd book her/recommend her to others in a heartbeat!

J'ai eu la chance de travailler avec Renaud Lévesque pour l'inspection de mon condo à Montréal. Il a été d'un professionnalisme impeccable, d'une gentillesse exemplaire et d'une aide précieuse. Il est allée au-delà de son mandat pour me montrer comment entretenir certains appareils et a pris le temps de m'expliquer ce que ses observations voulaient dire. J'ai beaucoup apprécié et je le recommande très chaudement. Merci Renaud

Our inspector from Mose, Micheal Kallaur was excellent. He inspected 2 homes for us and one of them was a bit of a tricky situation. He went above and beyond to make sure the home was properly inspected, even going back a second time (asap) as a certain area was impassable the first time. Micheal made us feel like we could trust him now and in the future should we have any concerns about the home we purchased. 10/10 recommend.

Overall good experience from booking the inspection to after the completion of the inspection. Andrew, the inspector, was very nice, respectful, professional, thorough and helpful. He was good at explaining things, and even made himself available after the inspection for any related questions. I am glad I chose Mose.

As a first time home-buyer all the steps in the process are new to me. Gerry patiently explained to me what he was checking and his preliminary results as he went. Not only that he gave tips & tricks on certain maintenance tasks I would have had to figure out completely on my own. Top notch service!
