Sloped Roofs
We design and install water-shedding sloped roof systems using cedar shakes, laminate shingles, metal panels, and slate tiles. Our GAF-certified team ensures proper water flow and structural integrity while meeting manufacturer warranty requirements. With decades of experience in Pacific Northwest climates, we provide durable solutions that balance aesthetics and functionality.
Flat Roofs
Our flat roofing expertise includes SBS membranes, single-ply EPDM/TPO, built-up systems, and liquid PMMA applications. We address complex drainage needs while maintaining waterproof integrity. Certified installers combine technical precision with material-specific knowledge to deliver long-lasting commercial and residential solutions that exceed industry standards.
Building Envelope
We specialize in rain screen wall assemblies, deck waterproofing, and transitional detailing to protect buildings from moisture intrusion. Our systems integrate windows, doors, and cladding with advanced flashing techniques. This holistic approach prevents leaks while maintaining compliance with British Columbia's environmental regulations and building codes.
Leak Investigation
Our comprehensive leak investigations identify root causes through systematic analysis of roof systems and building envelopes. Using advanced diagnostic tools and photographic documentation, we develop targeted remediation plans for chimneys, skylights, and masonry. This precision approach prevents recurring issues while minimizing unnecessary repairs.
Residential Roofing
We provide customized residential roofing solutions for cedar replacements, asphalt shingles, and specialty materials. Our process includes detailed consultations, material selection guidance, and minimal-disruption installations. With crews trained in both traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques, we deliver durable, code-compliant roofs that enhance property value and weather resistance.
