Torch-on, TPO and other membrane roofs for homes, stratas and commercial buildings across North Vancouver and Metro Vancouver.
Flat and low-slope roofs work hard in the Lower Mainland. Water doesn't run off them as quickly as a pitched roof, so seams, drains and flashing details matter. Most flat roof problems start with water that sits where it shouldn't.
We install, repair and maintain flat roofs on everything from Vancouver Specials and modern homes to townhome complexes, stratas, schools and commercial buildings. That includes work at St. Edmund's Elementary in North Vancouver.
Two-ply modified bitumen systems, the most common flat roof in the Lower Mainland.
Single-ply membrane roofs for commercial and residential low-slope buildings.
Removing old tar and gravel roofs and replacing them with a modern membrane system.
Blisters, splits, punctures, failed seams and leaks around penetrations.
Clearing, repairing and resealing roof drains so water leaves the roof.
Scheduled inspections and maintenance for stratas, property managers and commercial owners.
Torch-on (SBS modified bitumen) is a proven, durable system and the most common choice for flat roofs in the Lower Mainland. TPO is a lighter single-ply membrane that's popular on commercial buildings and can be a good fit where torch-applied systems aren't ideal.
The right choice depends on your building, what's on the roof, how the roof is used and your budget. We'll look at the roof and explain the options in plain language before you decide.
We work with strata councils and property managers who need a roofer that shows up, communicates clearly and documents the work. Ask us about inspections and condition reports to help plan roof budgets and avoid emergency repairs.
A properly installed and maintained torch-on or TPO roof typically lasts about 15 to 25 years. Ponding water, blocked drains and skipped maintenance are the most common reasons flat roofs fail early.
Usually because of blocked drains, low spots in the roof deck, or insulation that has compressed over time. Water that sits for more than a day or two after rain speeds up wear on the membrane. We can find the cause and fix the drainage.
