Roofing
Richmond roofing and exteriors company handling replacement, repairs and free inspections, plus gutters, siding and skylights. Based on Cooney Road near the city center, so it is a genuinely local option rather than a Metro Vancouver chain.
Book the inspection in July, not November. Autumn is when every roofer in the Lower Mainland gets called at once, because the first sign of trouble for most homeowners is a stain spreading across a bedroom ceiling after the rain arrives. By then you are queueing behind everybody else who waited. Rain here is relentless rather than dramatic: moss establishing on the north slope, gutters filling with cedar and maple debris every autumn, flashing failing quietly for a couple of years before anything shows inside.
This company covers the whole exterior envelope rather than shingles alone, taking in replacement and repairs, gutters, siding and skylights. That combination is more useful than it sounds, because water entering a house often is not a roof failure at all. It is a gutter overflowing back under the fascia, or flashing at a skylight, or siding that let water in behind it. A contractor who only does one of those tends to find the problem that matches the trade they sell.
Working from Cooney Road near City Centre makes this a Richmond company rather than a regional chain running crews out of Surrey, and that matters more for callbacks than for the original job. A roof warranty is worth exactly as much as your ability to get somebody back to the house. Get any quote in writing with the underlayment and the flashing specified rather than just the shingle brand, and be wary of anyone who knocked on your door first.

The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. 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.
