Big Bend Roofing Burnaby — Industrial and Nursery Commercial Demand
Big Bend is the south west corner of Burnaby along the Fraser River, dominated by industrial business parks, nurseries and garden centres, and a small residential pocket. Most commercial buildings were built 1985 to 2010 with a heavy concentration of warehouse, light industrial, and greenhouse structures. Paragon covers all of Big Bend with institutional quality work and family ownership since 2010.
Big Bend wraps the south west corner of Burnaby where the Fraser River bends north. The neighbourhood is dominated by industrial business parks, nurseries and garden centres on agricultural land, and a small residential pocket along Marine Way. The City of Burnaby has long planned increased residential development in Big Bend but the area remains primarily commercial and industrial. Industrial warehouses house logistics, light manufacturing, and food processing. Garden centres including major regional nurseries operate on the agricultural reserve land along the river.
Roofing demand here is overwhelmingly commercial flat roof membrane work. The 1985 to 2010 industrial build out included thousands of square feet of built up tar and gravel and torch on systems that are now reaching first or second cycle replacement age. TPO single ply conversion is increasingly common during replacement. The small residential pocket along Marine Way adds a steady but small flow of single family work.
What we do in Big Bend
Industrial warehouse roof replacement is the volume work
The Big Bend industrial business parks south of Marine Way and along Byrne Road and Fraser Street carry warehouse, distribution, and light industrial buildings built largely 1985 to 2010. Most started life with built up tar and gravel or torch on systems. Those original roofs are now 20 to 40 years old. Many have already had one cycle of repair or replacement. Roof areas typically run 30,000 to 200,000 square feet. Total project costs run $80,000 to $1,500,000 or more depending on size and membrane choice.
Conversion from torch on to TPO
An increasing number of Big Bend industrial buildings are converting from torch on to TPO single ply during membrane replacement. The reasons stack. Longer expected service life of 25 to 30 years versus 20 to 25 for torch on. Reflective white surface reduces summer cooling load substantially on large warehouses with mechanical air conditioning. Cleaner installation without open flame torch on requires. No hot work permit complications during occupied building work. Slightly higher up front cost recovered through longer warranty period and lower energy costs. We handle both like for like torch on replacement and torch on to TPO conversion based on building, owner preference, and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Light industrial warehouses typically run $80,000 to $400,000+ for torch on or TPO membrane replacement, depending on roof area. Larger industrial buildings with 50,000 to 200,000 square feet of roof area run $200,000 to $1,500,000+. Mixed use commercial in the smaller pockets runs $30,000 to $150,000+.
Industrial warehouse flat roof membrane replacement is the highest volume work. The industrial business parks south of Marine Way carry buildings built 1985 to 2010 with original built up tar and gravel or torch on systems now reaching first or second cycle replacement. Light commercial along Marine Way is second.
Yes. The nurseries and garden centres along the Big Bend agricultural land carry greenhouse structures, packing facilities, and retail buildings with mixed roof types. We handle traditional flat membrane roofing on packing and retail structures. Greenhouse glazing replacement falls outside our scope.
TPO single ply is the most popular choice for warehouse re roofing because of the longer service life, reflective surface that reduces summer cooling load, and clean installation without open flame. Torch on remains common for like for like replacement. Specific membrane choice depends on building age, slope, and budget.
Smaller warehouses up to 30,000 square feet run 1 to 3 weeks. Larger warehouses with 50,000 to 200,000 square feet run 3 to 12 weeks. Phased replacement spreads cost across multiple budget years and lets occupied buildings stay operational during work.
A small residential pocket sits along Marine Way in the centre of Big Bend. We cover the residential homes there with the same standards as the rest of Burnaby. Single family re roofing and small commercial work happen alongside the larger industrial projects.
