Increased winter storms in Vancouver can be fatal, necessitating the replacement of roof shingles.
Your flashing and other parts of the roof will suffer from thawing and refreezing caused by freezing temperatures that are higher than freezing. Before winter arrives, have your roof inspected to identify any small issues that need to be fixed before the weather exacerbates the problems.
There are differences between installing shingles in the winter and the summer. Due to the often cold winter weather, bonding shingles to the roof is a whole different process. The roof's covering is held together by the shingle adhesives. Your shingles may be flapping in the wind or, worse yet, may be allowing water to enter if the adhesive fails to adhere because it is too cold to operate.
No questions should be asked when hiring an expert to fix your roofing. No of the time of year, only experts with the necessary training, experience, and skill should climb onto your roof when you need them. Prior to winter, a well-timed roof check can help actively discover roofing issues so that fixes can be put in place before an emergency arises.
