Why Hiring a Certified & Insured Roofing Contractor Matters in North Vancouver and West Vancouver
When it comes to protecting your home or business, cutting corners on roofing is never an option. Whether you need a minor repair, major restoration, or a full roof replacement, choosing the right roofing contractor directly impacts the safety, longevity, and value of your property.
At Amex Roofing & Drainage Ltd., we believe in doing things the right way — with certified training, proper insurance, proven expertise, and a commitment to quality craftsmanship. Here’s why hiring a certified and insured roofing contractor is essential for homeowners in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and the North Shore.
1. Certified Expertise Ensures Professional Workmanship
Roofing is a specialized trade that requires technical skill, precision, and years of hands-on experience. Certified roofers have completed extensive training, passed industry examinations, and stay up to date with the latest roofing systems and installation standards.
When you hire a certified roofing contractor, you benefit from:
Proper installation techniques
Expertise in shingle, metal, flat, and composite roofing
Knowledge of manufacturer guidelines
Fewer installation errors
A longer-lasting roof
Certified roofers do the job right the first time, saving you time, stress, and costly repairs later.
2. Insurance Protects You From Unexpected Liability
Even highly skilled contractors must account for the unexpected. Roofing work comes with risks — and proper insurance protects you, your property, and the workers on-site.
A fully insured roofing contractor provides:
Liability coverage (protects your home from accidental damage)
WorkSafeBC / worker’s compensation (covers injuries on your property)
Peace of mind knowing you’re not financially responsible if an accident occurs
Hiring an uninsured roofer could leave you on the hook for thousands in medical bills or damages. With Amex Roofing, you're protected.
3. Compliance With Local Building Codes & North Shore Regulations
North Vancouver and West Vancouver have strict building codes designed to protect homeowners from structural risks, fire hazards, wind damage, and moisture penetration.
A certified contractor ensures:
Your roofing work meets all municipal codes
Proper permits are obtained when required
Inspections pass without delays
Your roof remains compliant for future home sales
Non-compliant work can result in fines, failed inspections, insurance issues, and reduced home value.
4. Warranties on Materials & Workmanship Give You Peace of Mind
Reputable roofing contractors offer manufacturer warranties and labour warranties, ensuring long-term protection.
A certified contractor provides:
Warranty-approved installations
Protection against material defects
Coverage for workmanship issues
Higher-quality materials
Commitment to customer satisfaction
With Amex Roofing, you gain confidence knowing your roof investment is backed by real coverage — not empty promises.
5. Protect Your Property Investment for Years to Come
Your roof is one of the most important components of your home. By choosing a certified and insured roofing contractor, you ensure:
Longer roof lifespan
Better resistance to weather, wind, and moisture
Higher property value
Fewer unexpected repairs
