Roof repair

Roof repair in North Vancouver

Leaks, missing shingles, failed flashing and storm damage, found and fixed by an in-house crew that tells you straight whether a repair is enough.

New flashing sealed around a rooftop unit during a roof repair in North Vancouver

A small leak during a North Shore winter rarely stays small. Water gets under shingles and flashing, soaks the decking and insulation, and shows up as a ceiling stain long after the damage started. The sooner it's found, the cheaper it is to fix.

Vancouver Roofing & Solar repairs every type of roof, including asphalt shingle, cedar shake, metal, torch-on, TPO and other flat roof systems, on homes, townhomes, stratas and commercial buildings across North Vancouver and Metro Vancouver. Every repair is done by our own in-house crew, never subcontracted out.

Roof repairs we handle

Roof leaks

We trace the leak to its actual source, which is often a few feet from where the water shows up inside.

Shingle & shake damage

Missing, cracked, curled or wind-lifted asphalt shingles and split or rotted cedar shakes.

Flashing repairs

Chimneys, skylights, vents, walls and valleys, where most roof leaks actually start.

Flat roof repairs

Blisters, splits, punctures and failed seams on torch-on, TPO and other membrane roofs.

Roof drains & scuppers

Blocked or failing drains that let water pond on flat and low-slope roofs.

Storm & wind damage

Damage from windstorms, falling branches and heavy rain, with photos you can use for an insurance claim.

Signs your roof needs a repair

  • Water stains or bubbling paint on ceilings or upper walls
  • Drips, damp insulation or a musty smell in the attic
  • Missing or lifted shingles after a windstorm
  • Shingle granules collecting at downspouts
  • Cracked or pulled-back flashing around a chimney, skylight or vent
  • Water pooling on a flat roof for more than a day or two after rain

How a roof repair works with us

1. Tell us what's happening. Call (604) 338-5257 or send the quote form. We usually call back the same day.

2. We inspect and find the source. We check the roof, flashing and attic where needed, and show you what we found.

3. You get a written quote. It says exactly what will be fixed, with no surprise charges later.

4. Our crew does the repair. The same in-house team, using materials matched to your existing roof.

5. Cleanup and walkthrough. We clean up and show you the finished work.

Repair or replace? We'll tell you straight.

If the damage is in one area and the rest of the roof still has life left, a repair is usually the right call, and that's what we'll recommend. Our customers regularly mention that we didn't push them into a new roof they didn't need.

If the roof is near the end of its life, has leaks in several places, or the decking underneath is soft, repeated repairs start costing more than they save. In that case we'll explain why and give you a roof replacement quote alongside the repair option, so you can decide.

FAQ

Roof repair questions

How much does a roof repair cost in North Vancouver?

It depends on the type of roof, how much damage there is, how steep and accessible the roof is, and what materials are needed. A sealed flashing joint and a damaged section of cedar shakes are very different jobs. Vancouver Roofing & Solar gives you a free written quote after looking at the roof, so the price you see is the price you pay.

My roof is leaking right now. What should I do?

Move valuables and electronics out of the way, put a bucket or tarp under the drip, and stay off the roof, since wet roofs are dangerous. Then call us at (604) 338-5257 and tell us it's an active leak so we can prioritize it.

Can a roof be repaired in the rain?

Temporary protection, like tarping or sealing an opening, can be done in wet weather to stop more water getting in. Permanent repairs are done in dry conditions so materials seal and bond properly. We'll protect the roof first and schedule the full repair as soon as the weather allows.

Do you repair cedar shake, metal and flat roofs?

Yes. We repair all roof types: asphalt shingle, cedar shake, metal, torch-on, TPO and other flat roof membranes, on both residential and commercial buildings.

Will home insurance cover my roof repair?

It depends on your policy and the cause. Sudden damage, like a tree branch or windstorm, is more often covered than wear and age. We can document the damage with photos and a written report to support your claim, but your insurer makes the final decision.

Do you use subcontractors for repairs?

No. Every repair is done by Vancouver Roofing & Solar's own in-house crew, which is covered by WorkSafeBC and insured.
