Why Roof Inspections Matter In Ottawa
Sun, rain, snow, wind, and seasonal temperature swings constantly wear roofs, especially here in Ottawa.
Over time, even the most durable roofing system can develop leaks, cracks, or drainage issues that go unnoticed until significant damage occurs.
A professional inspection helps you avoid these issues. During an inspection, we evaluate every layer and component of your roof, including shingles or membranes, flashing, vents, drainage, attic ventilation, and insulation.
By spotting vulnerabilities early, we can help you save thousands in future repairs and preserve your property’s structural integrity.

Our Roofing Inspection Services
Comprehensive Residential Roof Inspections
Your home’s roof protects everything underneath it: your family, belongings, and investment. That’s why our residential roof inspections go far beyond a simple visual check.
We carefully examine:
- Shingle or membrane condition
- Flashing, seals, and joints
- Gutter and downspout function
- Chimney and skylight integrity
- Attic ventilation and insulation
- Signs of leaks, moisture, or mould
After the inspection, we provide a detailed report outlining our findings, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether you need minor maintenance, shingle replacement, or a full roof upgrade, we’ll help you understand your options and next steps.
Commercial & Industrial Roof Inspections
Commercial and industrial roofing systems demand greater precision and planning. Flat or low-slope roofs, in particular, can develop water pooling or membrane damage that isn’t visible from ground level.
Our commercial roof inspections include:
- Surface condition and membrane integrity checks
- Drainage system assessments
- Inspection of seams, joints, and flashing
- Evaluation of rooftop equipment penetrations (HVAC, vents, etc.)
- Thermal and moisture detection, when applicable
We help business owners and property managers make informed maintenance and budgeting decisions. You can confidently support warranty claims and insurance requirements with detailed inspection documentation.
Pre-Purchase Roof Inspections
Buying a new property? A roof inspection is one of the smartest investments before signing the papers. Our pre-purchase inspections provide a full picture of the roof’s current condition, estimated remaining lifespan, and any issues that may require attention.
We often work with real estate agents and homebuyers across Ottawa to ensure no hidden roofing surprises after closing.
Seasonal & Preventive Inspections
Ottawa’s extreme winters and hot summers take a toll on every roof. Seasonal roof inspections, especially in spring and fall, help you prepare for upcoming weather and address damage caused by previous seasons.
In spring, we check for issues like ice-dam damage, shingle lifting, or leaks caused by melting snow. In the fall, we ensure your roof and gutters are clear, sealed, and ready to withstand snow and ice buildup.
These preventive visits are the best way to avoid emergencies and keep your roof performing efficiently year-round.
What We Check During A Roof Inspection
Every inspection by Stewart Roofing includes a thorough review of:
- Roofing materials (shingles, tiles, or membranes)
- Flashing, caulking, and sealants
- Ridge caps and vents
- Eavestroughs and downspouts
- Valleys, slopes, and drainage systems
- Attic ventilation and insulation
- Signs of leaks, water stains, or sagging
- Structural components, if accessible
We document every finding with photos and notes, then walk you through the report so you fully understand your roof’s condition and maintenance priorities.
