Vancouver roofs don't usually die from sun, they die from water and moss. That means the warning signs here are a little different from what you'll read in a national guide.
The Vancouver tells
- Thick moss or algae you keep having to clean off.
- Granules collecting in your gutters from worn shingles.
- Dark streaks or sagging that suggest moisture in the deck.
- Damp insulation or a musty smell in the attic.
- Repeated leaks in different spots, a sign the underlayment is done.
Repair or replace?
One isolated issue on an otherwise sound roof is usually a repair. Multiple signs across an aging roof point to replacement. A free assessment will tell you which, get it before the wet season peaks.
