Sloped and low-slope roofing for Vancouver homes.
Residential roofing can include asphalt shingles, metal, low-slope membrane sections, flashing, skylight transitions and drainage details. Vancouver's wet coastal conditions make water management particularly important. A useful inspection looks beyond the visible surface and considers where water enters, how it drains and whether the existing assembly is suitable for repair or replacement.
Vancouver weather makes drainage details important. Metro Vancouver receives long periods of rain, and roofing systems need to move water away from vulnerable details consistently. On sloped roofs, valleys, eaves, wall intersections and penetrations deserve attention. On flat and low-slope roofs, drains, scuppers, membrane seams and rooftop curbs become central. A leak can appear during only certain wind or rainfall conditions, so describing when the problem occurs can help focus the inspection on the areas most likely to be involved.
