Proactive maintenance and expert repair for Metro Vancouver's commercial, industrial, and multi-family roofs — from a team headquartered right here in Surrey.
Metro Vancouver receives over 1,200 mm of rainfall annually, and most of it falls between October and April. For commercial buildings with flat or low-slope roofs, that sustained exposure creates relentless pressure on membranes, flashings, and drainage systems.
Persistent moisture is the single greatest threat to commercial roof assemblies in this region. Weeks of continuous rain cause ponding water on flat roofs where drainage is compromised. Wind-driven rain forces moisture into seams and flashing terminations that would hold up fine in drier climates. Moss and organic growth take hold on neglected membranes, trapping moisture and accelerating degradation. Leaf debris from the dense deciduous canopy across Vancouver, Burnaby, and New Westminster blocks drains and scuppers, turning a functioning roof into a retention pond.
The cost of ignoring these conditions adds up fast. A neglected commercial roof in Metro Vancouver can lose 30–50% of its expected service life. Reactive repairs — scrambling for a contractor after a leak has already damaged interior finishes or disrupted tenants — cost significantly more than a structured maintenance program. And in a market where qualified commercial roofing labour is in high demand, waiting until you have a problem means waiting in line.
Raven Roofing provides Metro Vancouver's property managers, building owners, and strata councils with a better approach: planned, proactive roof care backed by decades of local experience.
The most cost-effective thing you can do for a commercial roof is maintain it. A structured maintenance program extends roof life, maintains warranty compliance, and turns unpredictable emergency repairs into planned, budgetable line items.
Our annual maintenance programs include scheduled inspections, clearing of drains and debris, minor repairs, and detailed condition reporting. We identify and address small issues — lifted flashing, sealant failures, blocked drainage — before they become expensive problems. For property managers overseeing multiple buildings, our reporting provides the documentation you need for capital planning and warranty records.
When a leak occurs, finding the actual point of entry matters more than patching the obvious wet spot. Our diagnostic approach uses systematic investigation and, where needed, non-destructive testing to trace moisture paths and identify the true source. We then execute targeted repairs that address the cause, not just the symptom.
Whether you need a pre-purchase assessment before acquiring a property, a post-storm evaluation, or a scheduled condition report for asset management, our inspections deliver clear, detailed findings with prioritized recommendations and budget estimates. We document membrane condition, flashing integrity, drainage function, and overall system performance.
Not every roof issue requires a full replacement. Flashing repairs, membrane patching, drainage improvements, and sealant renewal can add years of service life to an existing roof system at a fraction of replacement cost.
New rooftop units, additional penetrations, curb installations, and other alterations require precise roofing work to maintain membrane integrity. We coordinate with mechanical contractors and general contractors to ensure TI projects don't compromise your roof system.

With over 50 million square feet of commercial roofing installed, we bring a depth of experience that smaller firms simply cannot match. We are active members of the CRCA (Canadian Roofing Contractors Association), RCABC (Roofing Contractors Association of BC), VRCA (Vancouver Regional Construction Association), and RCAC (Roof Consultants Association of Canada).

Moisture infiltration caused by persistent rainfall.
