Roofing for homes in Metro Vancouver
New roofs, replacements and repairs for houses, townhomes and duplexes. We start with an inspection and a written estimate.
What homeowners usually need
Most homeowners call us for one of three reasons: a leak, a roof that is getting old, or a new build or addition that needs a roof. Each has a different answer, and we start by looking at the roof.
Pitched roofs are usually asphalt shingle, cedar or metal. Flat roofs on garages, decks and additions are usually torch-on or EPDM.

Choosing a roofing material
Service life is a typical range. Actual life depends on installation quality, ventilation, climate and maintenance.
Repair or replace?
A repair usually makes sense when
- Damage is limited to one area
- The deck underneath is dry and solid
- The roof is mid-life with years left
- The leak comes from a flashing or vent
Replacement is usually the better choice when
- Roofing is curling, cracking or losing granules across the roof
- Leaks keep coming back after repairs
- The decking is soft or rotted
- The roof is at or beyond its expected life

How a roofing job runs
-
Inspection and written estimate
We inspect the roof, explain what we find, and put the scope, materials, price and timing in writing.
-
Materials and scheduling
You choose the system. We order materials and book a start date that suits the weather forecast.
-
Protection and tear-off
Landscaping and walls are protected, the old roof comes off, and any damaged decking is replaced.
-
Installation
Underlayment, flashing, ventilation and the finished roof go on, built to the manufacturer’s requirements.
-
Clean-up and walkthrough
Debris is hauled away and the site is magnet-swept for nails. We walk the job with you and hand over the warranty paperwork.
