Roof repair, replacement and maintenance for homes, strata and commercial buildings.

Start with the condition of your roof and the problem you need to solve. Paragon Roofing BC helps Burnaby property owners define the work, compare suitable roof systems and plan the next assessment.

THE RIGHT WORK STARTS WITH THE CAUSE

What does your
Burnaby roof need?

A leak does not automatically mean replacement. Ask the assessment to identify the source, the surrounding condition and what a repair can reasonably address.

HOMES · STRATA · COMMERCIAL

Different buildings.
A clearly defined scope.

Burnaby includes detached homes, townhouses and larger multifamily and commercial buildings. The proposal needs to reflect the roof and the people using the property.

For homeowners

A localized repair, maintenance visit and complete replacement require different work. Review the roof covering, deck condition, flashings, ventilation and drainage. Include skylights, chimney junctions and gutters where relevant.

Plan a roof replacement →

For strata councils

Separate each roof area and its condition. Ask for repair and replacement priorities, resident communication, staging, disposal and closeout documentation. Identify who approves changes if concealed damage is found.

Review the strata process →

For building operators

Consider roof traffic, drainage, rooftop equipment and occupied spaces. Modified bitumen, built up roofing and single ply membranes need different specifications. TPO, PVC and EPDM are not interchangeable names for torch applied roofing.

DETAILS FROM THE PARAGON COLLECTION

Look beyond
the roof surface

These regional photographs show why an assessment should include the whole assembly and its junctions. They are not presented as identified Burnaby projects.

01 / LOW SLOPE REPAIR DETAIL A membrane patch beside gravel surfacing. A repair scope should identify the existing roof system, the defect and compatible repair materials.

02 / CHIMNEY AND ROOF CONDITION A chimney junction with moss and debris on the surrounding roof. Condition and water paths need assessment before choosing maintenance or repair work.

CHOOSE THE SYSTEM, THEN SPECIFY THE ASSEMBLY

Roof materials
for your property

The visible finish is one part of the decision. Roof slope, the existing deck, flashing details, drainage, exposure and maintenance requirements all belong in the comparison.

For a cedar conversion, confirm removal, deck preparation and the proposed replacement assembly before comparing prices.

COMPARE THE WORK IN WRITING

From roof concern
to a useful proposal

01

Assess and document

Review the affected roof area and earlier repairs. Separate visible findings from conditions that cannot be confirmed until the assembly is opened.

02

Compare the options

Ask what a repair addresses and when a broader replacement makes sense. Compare equivalent roof areas, materials and preparation work.

03

Agree the responsibilities

Confirm access, protection, scheduling, approvals and disposal. Set out how additional work will be documented and authorized.

Your written roofing scope should explain

  • The roof areas, removal and preparation included
  • The specified covering, underlayment and flashing details
  • Deck repairs and concealed condition allowances
  • Ventilation, drainage and related trade work
  • Site access, protection, cleanup and permit responsibilities
  • Warranty documents, exclusions and maintenance expectations

Paragon’s own roofing crews carry out the installation, with owner involvement and direct accountability for the work. Ask for the proposal and applicable documentation before committing.

BURNABY PROPERTY PLANNING

Plan for access,
occupancy and approvals

A detached home and an occupied strata building need different staging and communication. Discuss deliveries, parking, debris removal and protection of the spaces below the roof.

For maintenance, note shaded roof areas, debris and the condition of drainage points. Avoid choosing a cleaning method before the roof material and condition have been assessed.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU COMMIT

Burnaby roofing questions

Does a leaking roof always need replacement?

No. The cause, surrounding materials and extent of damage determine whether a repair is suitable. An assessment should explain the evidence, the proposed repair and its limitations. Where deterioration is widespread or problems recur, compare a replacement proposal on a clearly defined scope.

Do I need a permit for roofing work in Burnaby?

Permit requirements depend on the scope and property. The City distinguishes minor nonstructural exterior repairs from restoration after fire, flood or other disaster, where roof repairs may require a permit. Do not assume that a complete replacement falls within a minor repair exemption. Confirm your proposed work with the City of Burnaby Building Department and record who is responsible for any approvals.

What should a strata council prepare before requesting roofing proposals?

Gather roof plans, known leaks, prior repair records and available inspection reports. Identify each building and roof area, access restrictions, resident communication needs and the person who approves the scope. Ask for comparable proposals with assumptions, exclusions and a process for additional work.

What information helps with a roofing assessment?

Provide the property address, roof material if known, the symptoms you have noticed and when they occur. Earlier invoices and photographs can help establish repair history. Take photographs only from a safe location. Confirm the assessment scope, any fee and available appointment times when you contact us.

What should I do about moss and debris on my roof?

Arrange a condition check before selecting a cleaning method. The roof material, its condition and the drainage details matter. Ask for maintenance that follows the applicable product guidance and identifies any damaged areas needing repair. Moss alone does not establish that the whole roof must be replaced.

Can skylights, chimneys, gutters and ventilation be included?

Discuss these items when defining the project. Their connections to the roof can affect the scope, but related work should be clearly included or excluded in writing. Confirm whether a particular repair needs another trade, and coordinate roof penetrations, flashings and drainage details before work starts.

What documentation should I request before roofing work begins?

Request the written scope, material specifications, exclusions, warranty terms and the process for approving additional work. Ask for current liability insurance documentation and WorkSafeBC coverage or clearance information relevant to the contractor. Confirm access, protection, cleanup and permit responsibilities for your project.
