Roofing Built for Vancouver's Climate
Vancouver homeowners face some of the most demanding roofing conditions in Canada. With roughly 1,200mm of rain a year at the airport (and more on higher ground), marine air from Burrard Inlet, and mature deciduous tree canopy across neighborhoods like Kitsilano and Dunbar, roofs here take a beating year-round.
Neighborhoods we serve: Kitsilano, Point Grey, Kerrisdale, Mount Pleasant, Dunbar, Marpole, East Vancouver, Strathcona, Shaughnessy, South Cambie
Vancouver's Unique Roofing Challenges
Heavy Rainfall & Marine Air
Heavy fall and winter rain tests every flashing joint, valley, and underlayment. North-facing slopes stay damp, accelerating moss and algae growth.
Mature Tree Canopy Debris
Giant maples, cedars, and Douglas firs in Dunbar, Point Grey, and Kerrisdale drop leaves and needles that clog gutters and trap moisture on roof surfaces.
Heritage Roof Requirements
Pre-1940s homes in Strathcona, Grandview-Woodland, and Kitsilano often require specific roofing materials to meet Vancouver Heritage Commission guidelines.
Permits and Building Codes
Permit rules for roofing work in Vancouver depend on the scope of the job. We check with the City of Vancouver before work starts, handle the permit if your project needs one, and install every roof to the Vancouver Building By-law and the manufacturer's specifications.

Choosing a Roofing Company in Vancouver
There is no shortage of roofing companies in Vancouver, so it pays to compare more than price. Before you sign, ask any roofer for proof of WorkSafeBC coverage and liability insurance, a written scope that lists tear-off, underlayment, flashing and ventilation, and the length of their workmanship warranty in writing. Red Maple Roofing provides all of this up front, carries $2,000,000 in liability coverage and backs installations with a 15-year written workmanship guarantee.
Roof Repair, Replacement and Maintenance Across Vancouver
Most of our Vancouver work falls into three groups. Roof repairs fix leaks at flashing, skylights, pipe boots and wind-damaged shingles. Full roof replacements are common on homes across East Vancouver, Marpole and South Cambie whose original shingles are reaching the end of their life. Maintenance visits clear moss and debris from roofs under the heavy tree canopy in Dunbar, Kerrisdale and Point Grey before the rainy season starts.
What Affects Roofing Costs in Vancouver
Roof size and pitch, the number of existing layers to remove, site access, the condition of the decking and the material you choose all affect the price. Heritage homes and steep roofs take longer to work on safely. We give a written, itemized quote after inspecting the roof, so you can compare it line by line with other Vancouver roofing contractors.

Vancouver roof repairs are usually about a few weak points: cracked pipe flashings, wind-lifted shingles, failing chimney flashing on older character homes and valleys clogged by street trees. We trace the leak from the attic and the roof, show you the cause in photos and fix that point properly.
