Roof Repair Cost in North Vancouver: What Affects the Price

Resealing a piece of flashing and rebuilding a section of rotted cedar shakes are very different jobs. The only way to get an accurate number is for a roofer to look at the roof. That's why Vancouver Roofing & Solar gives free written quotes after seeing the roof, instead of guessing over the phone.

• Type of repair: a few shingles, flashing, a valley, a skylight, or a flat roof seam
• Roofing material: asphalt shingle, cedar shake, metal and flat membranes all use different materials and methods
• How much damage there is: including water damage to the decking or insulation underneath
• Roof height, pitch and access: steep or multi-storey roofs need more safety setup
• Timing: emergency tarping during a storm, followed by a permanent repair, is two visits instead of one

• Fix leaks early, before water damages decking, insulation and ceilings
• Get an inspection after major windstorms, even if nothing is leaking yet
• Keep roof drains and valleys clear of debris
• Ask for a written, itemized quote so you know exactly what's included
• Compare quotes on the same scope of work, not just the bottom line

If the roof is near the end of its life, has leaks in several places, or keeps needing repairs, the money may be better spent on a roof replacement. We'll tell you honestly which makes sense, and we won't push a new roof you don't need.
