Roofing
Third-generation family roofing company on Viscount Way, in the Vancouver trade since 1946 and long based in Richmond. Crews of more than forty journeymen and apprentices cover residential re-roofs, repairs, maintenance, strata and commercial work.
Roofs on this coast do not fail dramatically. They fail slowly, through eight months of rain a year, moss that establishes itself on the north slope, and gutters that quietly stop draining while nobody is looking. Richmond adds wind off the Strait and a housing stock carrying a great deal of low-slope construction from the seventies and eighties, which is the least forgiving roof shape in this climate.
Roy Dennis Roofing works out of Viscount Way in the Bridgeport area, covering residential re-roofs, repairs, maintenance, and strata and commercial work. Viscount sits in the warehouse and trade belt north of Bridgeport Road, which is where nearly every serious contractor in Richmond keeps a yard. That is not somewhere anybody visits. Roofing gets quoted at your property, so the address matters mainly as evidence that a company is genuinely local rather than a call center subcontracting to whoever is free that week.
Choosing a roofer here is less about the quoted number than about whether the company will still exist when something goes wrong four winters from now. Ask whether they train apprentices. A firm bringing people through is planning to be around. Get the quote in writing with materials specified by name and the warranty terms written down. Ask directly about strata experience if you sit on a council, since strata roofing carries a documentation and communication burden that residential work never touches. Roofs are where the cheap decision reliably costs more.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside them.
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.

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.
