Roofing
Roofing contractor on Vickers Way in Richmond, working across the Lower Mainland since 2014 with a second base in Surrey. A weekday operation covering repairs and full replacement on houses and commercial buildings, closed on weekends.
Roofing on this coast is a different trade from roofing in a dry climate, and one Richmond November makes the reason obvious. The rain here is long and low-intensity rather than stormy, weeks of it at a time. A roof here fails slowly, through moss, blocked drainage and flashing that has quietly given up, rather than dramatically in a single event. By the time water shows up on a ceiling, the problem is old.
That changes what you should be asking for. Repair and full replacement are both on the table at the point somebody notices a stain, and the difference between them usually comes down to the condition of the sheathing underneath. Any quote worth comparing says plainly what happens if they open it up and find rot.
Vickers Way sits in the Bridgeport industrial area, which is where most of Richmond's trades operate from. The blocks between Bridgeport Road and the river hold contractors, suppliers, fabricators and warehousing, and there is a practical reason for the concentration. Crews can reach Vancouver, Burnaby or Delta through the Oak Street and Knight Street bridges and the Highway 91 connections without crossing the city first.
Comparable quotes mean identical scope from every bidder: same underlayment, same ventilation work, same treatment of flashing and drainage. Quotes that are not comparable are not useful, and the cheapest is often the one that left something out. Roofing is seasonal here, so booking in late summer beats booking in October alongside everybody who left it until the first leak.

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.
