Roof Inspection Services in Surrey, BC
A professional roof inspection tells you what you actually have — not what you hope you have. How many years are left. Which areas are failing first. Whether the flashings, ventilation, and drainage are performing or silently deteriorating. And whether the repair that seems urgent is actually cheaper than the replacement you've been putting off.
We provide comprehensive roof inspections across all of Surrey — Newton , Guildford , Fleetwood , Fraser Heights , Panorama Ridge , South Surrey , Whalley , and Cloverdale. Free inspections from Paragon Roofing BC.
What We Inspect
Shingles & Surface Material
Granule loss, curling, cracking, blistering, blow-off, moss colonisation, and remaining adhesion. Material-specific assessment for asphalt , cedar , metal , and flat membranes.
Flashings & Penetrations
Chimney counter flashing , valley flashings, wall step flashing, pipe boot gaskets, skylight seals , and vent collar condition. Flashings are the #1 leak source on Surrey roofs.
Ventilation & Attic
Ridge vent function, soffit intake clearance, exhaust-to-intake ratio (the 1/300 calculation), attic temperature differential, and condensation evidence. Proper ventilation extends shingle life by 3–5 years.
Structure & Drainage
Deck condition (sagging, moisture damage), fascia and eave integrity, gutter function, downspout flow, and overall drainage effectiveness. In Surrey's 1,400+ mm annual rainfall, drainage is everything.
When You Need an Inspection
Your roof is over 15 years old. Even if it looks fine from the ground, age-related deterioration is often invisible until it becomes a leak. A professional assessment establishes remaining useful life and lets you plan rather than react.
You're buying or selling a home. A pre-purchase inspection identifies roof condition before closing. A pre-sale inspection lets you address issues proactively or price accordingly. See roof certification for buyers and sellers.
After a major storm. Southeast windstorms drive rain under shingle edges and lift ridge caps. Even if you don't see visible damage from the ground, a professional check after a significant weather event catches problems before the next rain.
You've noticed warning signs. Ceiling stains, granules in the gutters, daylight visible in the attic, missing or curled shingles, moss that seems worse than last year. Any of these signals warrants professional assessment.
Your strata depreciation report is due. A roofing-specific assessment provides more accurate remaining-life estimates than generic depreciation report preparers, who often use national average lifespans rather than Surrey-specific data.
The Repair vs Replace Decision
The most valuable outcome of an inspection is clarity on whether your roof needs a $500 repair or a $25,000 replacement. We give you the honest assessment. If a repair buys meaningful time, we recommend the repair. If the roof is past the point where repairs are cost-effective, we tell you that too — with the data to back it up.
