Barker Roofing

Engaging the services of a professional with experience in roofing inspections is vital, and this is why. When did you last have your roof inspected? The following photographs show some of the issues we have encountered in the past two weeks alone. Ice and water used as chimney metal 🤦🏼‍♂️. Cracked roof vents. Rotten facia board that critters have been getting in. A few hundred dollars spent on a roof inspection can save you thousands of dollars down the road. We recommend a roof inspection every 3 to 5 years. Contact us today to schedule your inspection.

Your roof might look fine from the ground… but that doesn’t mean it is.

This is a 10-year-old roof—and it already has issues that could lead to costly damage if left unchecked.

That’s exactly why we recommend a professional roof inspection every 5 years.

🔍 What an inspection can catch early:
• Missing or lifting shingles
• Early signs of leaks or water intrusion
• Flashing damage around vents and chimneys
• Nail pops and weak spots
• Ventilation issues that shorten roof life

💸 Why it matters:
Small problems turn into big repairs FAST. A simple inspection can save you thousands by catching issues before they become leaks, mold, or structural damage.

🏠 Reality check:
Even a newer roof isn’t immune. Weather, wind, and temperature swings take a toll—especially here in Ontario.

Don’t wait until you see water stains inside your home.

📅 Stay ahead of the damage. Book your inspection every 5 years.

If you’re unsure about your roof’s condition, feel free to reach out—happy to take a look and give you honest feedback.

Great company to work with!

One of the most common questions I heard working in wholesale for years was this:

"Do you know what colour shingles these are?"

Usually it was a homeowner or a contractor who had bought an existing house.
Now they wanted to:
• Build a shed
• Add a garage
• Do an addition
• Repair part of the roof or siding

And the problem was simple…
Nobody knew what materials were originally used.
No shingle brand.
No colour name.
No siding information.

So people would show up at the counter with a piece of shingle in their hand or a picture on their phone trying to match something that might be 10–15 years old.
Sometimes the colour was discontinued.

Sometimes the brand wasn’t even sold anymore.
And what should have been a simple repair turns into a guessing game.

That’s exactly why I asked Eris to create a simple Home Maintenance Information Sheet.

It’s something every homeowner should have.
Print it off.
Fill it out once.

And keep it somewhere easy to find like:
• Behind a kitchen cabinet door
• In the furnace room
• In the garage
• In the utility room

Write down things like:
✔ Roofing brand and colour
✔ Contractors you've used
✔ Service companies

Years from now when something needs fixing, you won’t be guessing, or the next homeowner will know who did what in your home.

You’ll know exactly what was used and who to call.
Simple idea. Big time saver.

If you’d like a copy of the sheet, just send me a message and we’ll share it.

We made the most out of yesterday + 7 temperatures. We did some custom metal work and installed new eavestroughs and downspouts above the front walkway. We capped this wooden post in white aluminum so that it's clean and maintenance-free. We also made custom fascia metal and installed soffit for clients who are getting ready to list their home for sale. At the second job, the eavestrough was pulling away and was hanging completely off at one end due to snow and ice. We relevelled and installed new hangers. Now this house is also ready to hit the market.

despite winning numerous years in a row, as we have, the thrill never fades when we get the notification that we have won once more.

Nothing better then working at the lake 😎Big push for 1 shingler & a helper! Two days completed including removal and tie into existing home. We are delighted to assist West Peak Building & Renovation with this job. We battled wind, ice, and frost, but it's done and looks great! Now they can proceed with the inside now that the roof is on and get it closed in before the snow. West Peak Building & Renovation
