When to Book a Roof Inspection

In Vancouver BC, it is recommended to arrange professional roof inspections at key times throughout the year to help prevent costly damage and unexpected repairs:

  • Spring Roof Inspection
    After winter, your roof should be checked for damage caused by snow, ice, and prolonged moisture.

  • Fall Roof Inspection
    Before the rainy season begins, a fall inspection helps identify vulnerabilities that could lead to leaks or drainage problems.

  • After Severe Weather
    Following storms, heavy rain, or high winds, a roof inspection can reveal hidden damage or loosened materials.

  • Before Buying or Selling a Property
    A roof inspection can uncover structural issues, moisture intrusion, and wear, giving buyers and sellers confidence in the condition of the property.

What to Expect During a Roof Inspection in Vancouver

A professional roof inspection involves a detailed evaluation of your entire roofing system to identify wear, moisture intrusion, and potential structural risks. Here is what you can expect during a roof inspection in Vancouver:

1. Exterior Roof Inspection
The inspector examines the roof surface, checking for missing or damaged shingles, deteriorated flashing, membrane wear, and other visible signs of damage.

2. Interior Roof Assessment
In some cases, an interior review is performed to detect water stains, mold, damp insulation, or signs of roof leaks that may not be visible from the outside.

3. Gutter and Drainage Inspection
Gutters and downspouts are inspected for clogs, damage, and proper water flow, which is critical to prevent water backup and roof edge deterioration.

4. Attic and Ventilation Check
If accessible, the attic space is evaluated for ventilation, insulation, moisture buildup, and hidden roof leaks that could impact the health of your roof.

Residential and Commercial Roofing FAQ

From inspection to installation, we answer your most asked questions about roofing. Don’t see your question below? Contact us.

How long does a roof installation typically take?
A roof installation can take anywhere between 3 days to a couple of weeks. The timeframe will depend on the size of the roof, removal of the old roof (if applicable), roofing materials, and weather. We’ll send our roofing contractor for an inspection for a more accurate estimate based on your residential or commercial roofing project.
What are the signs that indicate I need a new roof?
Look out for these telltale signs on your roof such as:

  • Missing, curling, or damaged shingles
  • Old and worn out
  • Overgrowth of moss
  • Water leaks or damage
  • Excessive granule loss
  • Sagging or droopy areas 
  • Neighbors are getting replacements

If you notice any of these issues, it’s recommended to consult a professional roofer for an inspection.

How often should I have my roof inspected?
Twice a year. It’s generally recommended to have a roof inspection in the spring or fall when the weather is typically more favourable. Regular inspections help identify and address potential issues before they escalate into costly problems. Don’t hesitate to reach out and schedule your roof inspection and maintenance service.
Can I install a new roof over the existing one?
Yes, it’s possible to put a new roof over an old one. Keep in mind, there are specific conditions that need to be met where a roof over is possible. The existing roof must be in good shape and only suitable for asphalt shingles to ensure a successful overlay. Additionally, this approach can add excess weight and potentially compromise the integrity of the roofing system. 

We recommend consulting a roofing professional to determine the best course of action for your residential or commercial roofing project.

How long can I expect my roof to last?
The life expectancy of a roof depends on the type of roof material installed. Here are the average lifespans of common roof materials:

  • Asphalt shingles: 15 to 20 years
  • Wood shingles: 25 to 30 years
  • Metal roof: 20 to 50 years
  • Slate tiles: 50+ years
  • Concrete or clay tiles: 50+ years

Other factors that determine the lifespan of a roof include the type and quality of materials, underlayment, weather exposure, regular maintenance and workmanship of the installation. Contact our team for guidance on the best roof types and materials for your next residential or commercial project.
