Roof maintenance calendar
A British Columbia roof should be checked at least seasonally and after significant wind, snow or heavy rain. The exact calendar changes by coast, interior, mountain and northern exposure. The decision should also account for moss and trapped debris.
Spring recovery
Look for winter wind or snow damage, clear drainage, inspect flashings and note interior moisture that appeared during cold weather.
Summer preparation
Complete repairs in stable weather, review sealants and coatings, trim safe overhanging vegetation and plan larger work before autumn rains.
Autumn and winter checks
Clear leaves and needles before sustained rain, confirm downspouts discharge safely and inspect from the ground after storms. Do not climb onto wet, icy or snow-covered roofs.
Details worth checking
- Roof edges and missing materials
- Valleys, drains, gutters and scuppers
- Chimneys, skylights, vents and walls
- Moss and trapped debris
- Interior stains and attic moisture
- Loose metal or sealant changes

Share the property, roof type, observed condition and decision timeline. A site-specific review can confirm which parts of the guidance fit and where the scope needs to change. The decision should also account for interior stains and attic moisture.
