Rain does the deciding here. Richmond takes well over a metre of it a year, mostly between October and April, and the damp delta air keeps moss growing on north-facing slopes almost year-round. Asphalt shingle on the 1970s and 1980s housing stock, cedar on the older Steveston places, and torch-on membrane on the low-slope roofs of the townhouse rows and commercial strips are three different problems needing three different crews.
Wind off the Strait adds another. Exposed roofs in Seafair, Terra Nova and along the West Dyke Trail lose more edge material than sheltered ones inland. Inspection, repair, re-roofing, moss treatment and skylights all sit in this category. Listings note licensing, warranty terms and the areas served.
Richmond roofing and exteriors company handling replacement, repairs and free inspections, plus gutters, siding and skylights. Based on Cooney Road near the city centre, so it is a genuinely local option rather than a Metro Vancouver chain.

Guides and roundups written for Richmond, with the businesses linked inline.
Nothing on Alexandra Road is a hidden gem. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.
The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
I live four blocks off Moncton Street, so this is the Steveston I actually use: where to park before the Bayview lots fill, how to buy fish straight off the boats at the wharf, the honest answer to the Pajo's versus Dave's question, and why the history here is not decoration.
