Roofing in Elgin Chantrell, South Surrey

Estate roofs in Elgin Chantrell require a different approach: forty to eighty squares, steep pitches, mature trees shedding debris year-round, and many cedar shake roofs that have been patched for a decade.

Large wooded estate home with a complex architectural shingle roof

A roof of this size needs a proper site plan covering staging, anchor points and bin placement to protect your driveway and landscaping. We walk the property with you first. Being fifteen minutes away, we can usually assess a concern within the same week.

What we find on Elgin Chantrell roofs

Large cedar shake and heavy architectural asphalt, plus a growing number of Brava composite shake and synthetic slate conversions on homes where the look matters as much as the lifespan.

What usually goes wrong here

  • End-of-life cedar shake with soft, rotted skip sheathing underneath
  • Constant needle and branch debris in long valleys and behind chimneys
  • Steep pitches that need proper fall protection, not ladders and luck
  • Ice and moisture at eaves on shaded north slopes
  • Insurance and fire concerns pushing owners off real cedar

The straight answer

Converting from cedar to composite is the conversation we have most often here. It retains the shake appearance, ends the cycle of rot and moss, and often helps with insurance. It is a significant investment, and we are upfront about that. You will receive a detailed written scope with the decking allowance clearly stated.

Thinking about an upgrade?

If you're replacing tired cedar and want the look without the rot, we install Brava composite shake, slate and tile, along with heavy architectural asphalt and standing-seam metal.
