Burnaby has a wide mix of housing stock, and the right replacement is different for each. A 1950s bungalow in Capitol Hill has a simple roof with tired ventilation. A Government Road two-storey with multiple valleys and a big cedar canopy has moss and drainage problems that will come straight back if we only change the surface.
We start with the whole assembly: decking condition, ventilation intake and exhaust, valley construction, flashings at walls and chimneys, and where the water actually goes when it leaves the roof. Then we scope the replacement so the new roof lasts its full service life instead of aging early.
For townhome rows and strata buildings in Metrotown, Edmonds and Lougheed, we phase the work by building, keep residents informed, and schedule around parking and access so nobody is locked out of their driveway with no warning.
What we check on Burnaby roofs
- Heavy moss and debris on shaded slopes near Deer Lake and Burnaby Mountain
- Undersized or blocked attic ventilation in mid-century homes
- Valley and dormer detailing on larger Government Road and Buckingham homes
- Shared roof planes on townhome rows that need coordinated phasing
- Gutter and downspout capacity for heavy Lower Mainland rainfall
- Skylight curbs and solar tube penetrations that leak long before shingles fail
