Your home’s first line of defense deserves better than “I’ll check it next year.”
A roof problem never starts as a catastrophe. It begins as a small drip, a loose shingle, a weak seal, or a patch that’s been quietly degrading under Vancouver’s nonstop rain. By the time most homeowners notice an issue, the damage is already deep—wet insulation, mold growth, structural weakening, and escalating repair costs. That’s why roof inspections in Vancouver have become one of the most searched homeowner maintenance topics in 2025.
At Aftermath Contracting, we’ve seen it all: winter storm lift-offs, hidden leaks behind walls, rotting plywood, and insurance claims denied simply because the homeowner didn’t have proof of regular inspections. This guide breaks down why professional roof inspections are essential, how much they typically cost, what homeowners can expect, and how preventative maintenance protects your property value.
Vancouver’s Climate Makes Roof Inspections Non-Negotiable
Vancouver isn’t kind to roofs. With heavy rain, marine air, constant moisture, and sudden temperature drops, the average roof undergoes stress daily. Even newer roofs are vulnerable to:
moisture seepage under shingles
weakened flashing
clogged drainage
mold and algae growth
early granule loss
Most roofing failures we handle at Aftermath Contracting weren’t obvious from the ground. By the time stains appear on ceilings, the water has been traveling through the roof system for months.
If you’re a homeowner in Vancouver, roof maintenance isn’t optional—it’s financial protection.
What a Professional Roof Inspection Really Includes
A true inspection goes far beyond “looking around.”
Our Aftermath Contracting technicians complete a multi-stage diagnostic check designed for Vancouver-specific weather patterns.
Instead of listing it in bullets, here’s how it unfolds:
We start on the exterior—assessing shingles, membranes, flashing, gutters, soffits, ventilation openings, and skylight seals. We check for lifting edges, cracks, moisture pockets, granule shedding, and drainage failure. Then we move into the attic to check insulation, airflow, water staining, and early mold formation. Every issue is photographed, documented, and explained in detail.
You walk away knowing the exact condition of your roof—not a vague “looks fine.”
How Often Should You Inspect Your Roof in Vancouver?
Most homeowners don’t know this:
Insurance companies recommend a professional inspection every 12 months, and many policies may deny weather-damage claims if there hasn’t been documented maintenance.
In Vancouver, we recommend:
Annual full inspection (preferably fall)
Post-storm check after windstorms or heavy rainfall
Pre-listing inspection if you’re selling your home
This keeps your home compliant, protected, and ready for the weather.
The Cost of a Roof Inspection vs. The Cost of Roof Damage
A typical roof inspection in Vancouver ranges from $150 to $350, depending on roof size and complexity.
Roof damage costs?
We’ve repaired storm-lifted shingles for $400… and full water-rot replacements for $25,000.
An inspection is the cheapest form of home insurance you can buy.
