Roof replacement

Full tear-off and re-roof installs built for coastal BC weather.

A roof replacement is the right call when repairs stop holding — when the shingles have given up across the whole surface rather than in one spot, or when the deck underneath has started to take on water. We tear the old roof off down to the deck, look at what we find, and build the new system back up properly.

Most of the homes we re-roof are asphalt shingle. It is the material that makes the most sense for the majority of BC houses: it handles our rain, it is repairable, and the price is predictable. What decides whether a roof lasts is rarely the shingle itself — it is the flashing, the underlayment, and whether the attic can breathe.

Signs you are looking at a replacement, not a repair

Shingles are curling, cupping, or losing granules across the whole roof rather than in one area
You are patching the same roof more than once a season
There are soft or spongy spots underfoot, which usually means the deck is wet
The roof is at or past the age its shingles were rated for
Daylight is visible through the roof boards from inside the attic

What the work includes

Tear-off and deck inspection

The old roofing comes off so we can see the deck. Rot or delamination gets found here, not after the new roof is on. If we find damaged sheathing we show you before we replace it.

Underlayment and ice-and-water protection

New underlayment across the deck, with membrane at the valleys and eaves where water sits longest and backs up.

Flashing

Chimneys, walls, skylights, and valleys are where most roofs actually leak. Flashing is replaced and detailed rather than reused where it is worn.

Ventilation

Intake and exhaust venting so the attic dries out instead of cooking the underside of your new shingles.

Cleanup

Debris hauled away and a magnet run over the yard and driveway for nails before we leave.

Common questions

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most straightforward residential asphalt shingle re-roofs are finished in one to three working days, depending on the size of the roof, how many layers are coming off, and how complex the roofline is. Steep pitches, multiple dormers, and difficult access add time. Weather can also move the schedule — we will not open up a roof we cannot get closed again safely.

Do I have to move out while you work?

No. A re-roof is noisy and there will be crew and materials around the house, but you can stay in it. We do ask for clear access to the driveway and the area around the roofline, and that anything fragile in the attic is moved or covered, because tear-off shakes dust loose.

What happens if you find rotten wood under the old roof?

We stop and show you. Damaged sheathing has to be replaced or the new roof is being built on a bad foundation, but it is also the most common reason a final price differs from the estimate — we cannot see the deck until the old roof is off. Our Terms cover this: the estimate is based on what was visible at the time of assessment.
