Roof Inspection Checklist for Vancouver Homeowners

A useful roof inspection looks at coverings, flashings, penetrations, drainage, vents, visible decking issues and signs of moisture inside the home. After storms or repeated leaks, documentation helps contractors compare the same scope.

Exterior items to review

Ask for a written inspection and scope so that quotes can be compared on the same basis. Material quality, access, hidden damage and code-related upgrades can materially change the final price.

Interior moisture clues

Compare what is included, not just the total. Confirm tear-off, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, cleanup, disposal, warranty terms and how unexpected decking repairs are priced.

Questions to ask the roofer

For active leaks or visible damage, prioritize preventing further water entry and getting a qualified assessment. For planned work, use the inspection to decide whether targeted repair or broader replacement is more appropriate.
