A Practical Roof Maintenance Checklist

A maintenance checklist helps property owners notice change. It is not a substitute for safe access, qualified review or required repair.

Preventive roof maintenance and inspection
Serving homes, strata properties and commercial buildings across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

From the ground and inside the building

Look for displaced material, blocked gutters, damaged edges, interior stains, damp odours and changes after storms.

  • Check ceilings and upper walls
  • Note when stains appear
  • Photograph visible exterior damage from the ground
  • Keep downspout discharge paths clear

During a suitable roof review

A safe review may consider surface condition, flashing, drains, penetrations, debris, transitions and signs of previous repair.

Turn observations into priorities

Separate routine cleaning, items to monitor, focused repair and broader replacement planning.

Questions

Questions property owners often ask

Straight answers help clients decide what to do next.

Should gutters be cleaned every year?

Frequency depends on surrounding trees, roof design and debris. Some properties benefit from twice-annual service.

Can pressure washing be used on roofing?

Aggressive cleaning can damage roofing. Cleaning methods need to suit the material and condition.

What belongs in a maintenance report?

Photographs, visible conditions, completed tasks, items to monitor and repairs that need separate approval.

Start with clarity

Talk through the condition before deciding what to do.
