Case Studies
Real roofs. Real findings.
Every Pinpoint survey ends the same way: a clear, evidence-based picture of what’s actually wrong with a roof — and what it will take to fix it. Browse recent projects below.
ARENA & ENTERTAINMENT VENUE
Rogers Arena
Rogers Arena is downtown Vancouver’s central sports and entertainment venue, home to the Vancouver Canucks and host to more than 200 events a year. Its low-slope roof spans the full building footprint above a bowl of sensitive electrical, mechanical, and broadcast infrastructure — where a single undetected leak carries outsized risk. Ownership retained Pinpoint to complete a full qualitative roof moisture survey ahead of budget planning for the building’s next roofing cycle….
WATER TREATMENT INFRASTRUCTURE
Capilano Filtration Plant
The Capilano Filtration Plant is Metro Vancouver’s critical water treatment facility on Lillooet Road, North Vancouver — a 96,000+ sq ft commercial roof system protecting sensitive water treatment infrastructure below. With the modified bitumen roofing across several sections approaching 15–25 years old, ownership retained Pinpoint to conduct a full moisture and thermal survey to determine exactly where the roof was failing and how much of it truly needed to be replaced….
PUBLIC & CIVIC FACILITY
Squamish Public Library
The Squamish Public Library serves as a civic anchor for the District of Squamish, with a 28-year-old modified bitumen roof nearing the end of its expected service life. Ahead of capital planning, the District retained Pinpoint to conduct a full roof moisture and thermal survey — determining exactly how much of the aging membrane was still performing, and how much needed to come out….

Pinpoint was retained to scan every building on the property….

ARENA & RECREATION FACILITY
Cranbrook Curling Centre
The Cranbrook Curling Centre, part of the Western Financial Place complex, is a 26,253 sq ft recreation facility owned by the City of Cranbrook.

CIVIC & MUNICIPAL FACILITY
Salmon Arm City Hall
Salmon Arm City Hall is a 23,706 sq ft municipal facility on 2 Ave NE showing typical signs of an aging roof — granule loss, ridging, blistering, and weathered sealant at penetrations. Ahead of routine capital planning, the City retained Pinpoint to confirm whether that visible wear had progressed into actual moisture intrusion….
INDUSTRIAL & MANUFACTURING
Tolko Industries
The Tolko Industries sawmill on Otter Lake Road is a working industrial facility where the roof surface sees constant sawdust and debris accumulation as part of normal operations.

CIVIC & MUNICIPAL FACILITY
Merritt Civic Centre
The Merritt Civic Centre combines a flat roof section with an adjoining asphalt shingle roof over its approximately 5,750 sq ft footprint. Ahead of routine capital planning, the City of Merritt retained Pinpoint to confirm the roof’s true condition and rule out any hidden moisture before committing to a maintenance budget….
AUTOMOTIVE & RETAIL SERVICE
Kal Tire — Langley
This 13,050 sq ft Kal Tire service facility on the Langley Bypass presented a roof surface covered in visible age-related wear — ridging, blistering, seam separation, and granule loss throughout. With deterioration this visible on the surface, ownership retained Pinpoint to determine whether it had progressed into actual moisture intrusion before budgeting for repairs….
MUNICIPAL & PUBLIC WORKS
Cranbrook Public Works
The City of Cranbrook’s Public Works facility is a 19,300 sq ft operations building showing the typical surface wear of an aging membrane — granule loss, alligatoring, ridging, and weathered sealant at penetrations.

PUBLIC & CIVIC FACILITY
Thompson Community Centre
Thompson Community Centre in Richmond spans two structures — a 10,590 sq ft annex and a 6,566 sq ft main building — each on a different roofing timeline. The City of Richmond retained Pinpoint to scan both buildings and give a clear, section-by-section picture of where the roof was performing and where it wasn’t, ahead of maintenance and capital planning.
