Spring Roof Inspection Checklist

What Ontario homeowners should check on their roof after winter — and when to call a professional for a free inspection.

Check from the ground first

Look for missing, curled, or lifted shingles, damaged flashing, and sagging gutters. Binoculars help spot issues without climbing a ladder.

Signs of winter damage

Ice dam staining on soffits, granule buildup in downspouts, and interior ceiling spots often indicate winter damage that worsens with spring rains.

Attic check

Look for daylight through the roof deck, wet insulation, or mold on rafters. Attic moisture from poor ventilation shows up most in spring thaw.

When to call Trident

If you see multiple issues, suspect hail damage, or your roof is over 15 years old, book a free professional inspection. Spring is the best time to schedule before summer storm season.
