Roof Inspections for Residential Roofing
When people think of residential roofing, they usually picture large jobs, such as replacing the entire roof or repairing damage from a storm. Although they are much easier and just as important, regular roof inspections are often overlooked by many people. As a residential roofing contractor, we know that a simple check can help people avoid having to pay a lot of money for repairs in the future.
Your roof is more than shingles and nails. It’s the barrier that keeps your family warm and dry through Vancouver’s wettest months. Skipping routine roof inspections is a bit like ignoring your car’s oil change — you might get away with it for a while, but eventually, the cost of waiting catches up.
Why Roof Inspections Matter for Residential Roofs
Living in Vancouver means dealing with heavy rainfall in the fall, damp winters, and even the occasional surprise snowstorm. All of this weather puts constant pressure on residential roofs. When regular roof inspections aren’t part of your home maintenance plan, small issues can stay hidden until they become big headaches.
Cracked shingles, loose flashing, and clogged gutters may not seem like big problems at first, but if they aren't fixed, they can cause leaks, mold, or wood rot. That's why professional residential roofing contractors say you should have your roof checked at least once a year. It's the greatest approach to protect your investment and make your roof last longer.
Our Approach to Roof Inspections
In Vancouver, roof inspections can't be done with a quick glance. Our team at GoodVans Roofing takes care of every detail with both old-fashioned know-how and new technology like drones. That looks like this:
- Exterior Walk-Through – Our team checks for visible signs of wear and damage, from missing shingles to sagging gutters.
- Drone Roof Inspection – Hard-to-reach areas are examined with drone technology, giving us a close-up look without risking worker safety.
- Interior Check – We'll provide you a clear explanation of what we found and honest suggestions for what to do next, whether your roof just needs a small repair or a bigger project.
- Clear Report – You’ll get a straightforward summary of what we found, along with honest recommendations — whether your roof just needs a minor fix or a larger project.
With this combination of old-fashioned know-how and drone technology, every section of your roof will be checked.

How Often Should Roof Inspections Be Scheduled?
A good rule of thumb is to book roof inspections once a year, usually in spring or fall. In Vancouver, where the weather is especially tough on homes, many homeowners schedule a second check after severe storms or heavy winds. If you’re planning to sell your house, a professional inspection can also reassure buyers that your roof is in solid condition.
The truth is, waiting until you see water stains on the ceiling is too late. By that point, the damage has already spread beneath the surface. Regular roof inspections are a low-cost way to prevent major expenses later.
The Cost of Waiting
We've observed numerous instances where homeowners delay inspections until a leak compels them to act. By then, it’s not just a shingle or two — it’s rotting wood, damaged insulation, and sometimes even mold. It costs several thousand dollars to fix things that should have only cost a few hundred dollars.
That’s why consistent inspections are so valuable. They protect your roof, your finances, and your peace of mind.
