Inspections & maintenance

Roof inspections & maintenance

Find small problems before they turn into leaks. Inspections, condition reports and scheduled maintenance for homes and buildings.

Roof drain cleared and resealed during a roof maintenance visit

Most roofs don't fail all at once. A lifted shingle, a cracked seal around a vent or a blocked roof drain lets in a little water at a time, until it becomes a repair bill. Regular inspections and maintenance catch those problems early, while they're still small.

Vancouver Roofing & Solar inspects and maintains every type of roof across North Vancouver and Metro Vancouver, and gives you a straight answer about what your roof actually needs, and what it doesn't.

What we check during a roof inspection

  • Shingles, shakes, metal panels or membrane for wear, damage and missing pieces
  • Flashing at chimneys, skylights, walls, vents and valleys
  • Seals around pipes, vents and rooftop equipment
  • Roof drains, scuppers and drainage on flat roofs
  • Signs of moisture, poor ventilation or leaks in the attic, where accessible
  • Overall condition and roughly how much life the roof has left

Why maintenance matters here

Our wet winters, heavy tree cover and shade mean roofs on the North Shore and across the Lower Mainland stay damp longer than in most places. That speeds up wear on flashing, seals and roofing materials. A bit of regular maintenance is far cheaper than repairing water damage, and it helps your roof reach its full lifespan.

FAQ

Inspections & maintenance questions

How often should I get my roof inspected?

Once a year is a good rule of thumb for most roofs, plus a check after any major windstorm. Older roofs and flat roofs benefit from more regular attention.

Do you do roof inspections before selling a home?

Yes. Vancouver Roofing & Solar does pre-sale roof inspections, so you know the roof's condition before it comes up during a sale.

Can you inspect my roof for an insurance claim?

Yes. We document roof condition and damage with a written report you can provide to your insurer. The insurance company decides what's covered.

What happens if you find a problem?

We'll show you what we found, explain whether it needs attention now or can wait, and give you a written quote for any repair. You decide what happens next, with no pressure.

Do you offer maintenance for stratas and commercial buildings?

Yes. We provide scheduled maintenance for commercial, multi-family and strata buildings, including flat roof drain clearing and resealing.
