What Is a Cedar Roof Conversion in Delta?

Cedar roof conversion is what happens when a beautiful but tired cedar shake roof has finally given you all it can—and instead of throwing more money at repairs, you upgrade the entire system to a modern roofing assembly built for Delta’s coastal rain, wind and moss.

It’s not a quick shingle swap. A proper cedar roof conversion means stripping off the shakes, battens and underlay, rebuilding the solid deck underneath, and then installing a new roof system (asphalt, metal or synthetic) that looks sharp, vents properly and can actually handle decades of wet weather without turning into a constant line item in your budget.

Done right, you keep the character and curb appeal of the home—but replace the high-maintenance, leak-prone cedar with a system that’s easier to own and easier to insure.


From cedar shakes to modern asphalt, metal and synthetic systems

Most Delta conversions follow a similar arc:

  • The original home was built with cedar shakes because that’s what everyone used at the time.
  • After 20–30+ years of Lower Mainland weather, the shakes are thin, curling, splitting or patched half a dozen times.
  • Repairs start feeling like “Band-Aids on a broken leg,” and owners want something predictable and low-drama.

You then choose from three main directions:

1. Architectural asphalt shingles – The most common choice for Delta conversions.

  • Thick, layered profile that suits West Coast homes
  • Strong wind resistance for Boundary Bay gusts
  • More forgiving around complex valleys and intersections

2. Metal roofing (standing seam or metal shingles)

  • Excellent shedding of heavy rain and coastal wind
  • Ideal for long-term, “one and done” performance
  • Pairs beautifully with high-performance underlayments

3. Synthetic “cedar-look” systems

  • Mimic the look of fresh cedar without the rapid aging
  • Lighter and more consistent than natural shakes
  • Installed with modern flashing and membrane details

Why cedar conversion is more than just a simple “re-roof”

A true cedar conversion isn’t “slap new shingles over old shakes.” Cedar roofs are built differently from modern systems, and ignoring that guarantees problems later.

A real conversion requires:

  • Full tear-off – remove shakes, underlay and strapping to expose the deck.
  • Deck correction – replace or strengthen plywood and address rot around eaves, chimneys and skylights.
  • System redesign – modern underlayments, ice & water in valleys and eaves, and upgraded flashing systems.

Cedar breathes very differently. Once you switch to a sealed system like asphalt or metal, attic ventilation must be recalibrated. Otherwise, condensation and mould can form beneath the new roof.

A proper conversion ties together:

  • Decking & sheathing
  • Underlayments & membranes
  • Flashing & penetration detailing
  • Attic ventilation & insulation strategy

How conversions work on typical Delta homes and roof designs

Many Delta homes—split levels, two-storeys, attached garages, intersecting gables—used cedar because it flexed around tricky details. When converting, we carefully evaluate:

  • Pitches – low-slope sections may need enhanced underlayments or different materials.
  • Valleys and transitions – redesigned with metal valleys and ice & water protection.
  • Eaves and overhangs – reinforced decking where cedar roofs previously hid thin or uneven sheathing.
  • Trees and shade – shaded, moss-prone areas need tuned material and ventilation choices.

A quality conversion respects the character of the home while bringing the roof up to modern standards. For homeowners curious about lifespan expectations, our guide on how long cedar shake roofs last in the Lower Mainland is a helpful reference.

Signs Your Delta Cedar Roof Is Ready for Conversion

Cedar doesn’t suddenly “give up” one morning in Delta. It slowly thins, cracks, absorbs more water, and starts losing the tight, protective overlap it had when it was new. The hard part as a homeowner is knowing when you’re just in the “normal aging” phase… and when you’ve crossed into “this roof is living on borrowed time.” These are the red flags we look for when we’re called out to older cedar roofs in North Delta, Ladner and Tsawwassen.

Curling, cracking and thinning cedar shakes

Healthy cedar has body. It still feels substantial in your hand, with enough thickness to shed water and enough strength to resist cracking when it dries and swells through the seasons.

Once a Delta cedar roof gets into the end of its lifespan, you’ll see:

  • Shakes curling up at the edges, especially on south and west faces that get more UV
  • Hairline cracks that run along the grain, then open up into visible splits
  • Shakes that look “skinny” and worn down, almost like old fence boards

When you can stand back from the street and see uneven texture, curling and shadow lines where the shakes are no longer lying flat, the roof isn’t just aging—it’s losing its ability to properly overlap and shed water. That’s when leaks start showing up at valleys, eaves and transitions, even if you can’t see one obvious hole.

Soft spots in the deck, exposed nails and loose shakes

One of the biggest signs your cedar roof is past the point of more repairs is how it feels underfoot. On a lot of older Delta homes, we’ll walk the roof and notice:

  • Soft or “spongy” areas where the sheathing under the shakes has started to rot
  • Shakes that move or lift easily when touched, because the fasteners are rusted or no longer holding solid wood
  • Exposed nail heads where the cedar has shrunk and thinned, leaving metal sitting right in the water path

Once the deck starts softening, the risk changes. You’re no longer just worried about water staining drywall—you’re worried about structural integrity at eaves, around chimneys and at any area that’s been catching slow leaks for years. At that stage, another round of shake repairs is just buying a bit more time while the underlying wood keeps deteriorating. A full conversion lets us strip everything, replace rotten sheathing, and rebuild the deck so the new system has a solid, code-compliant base.

If you’re not sure how serious those soft areas are, pairing a roof inspection with some of the checks outlined in our Delta roof inspection checklist will give you a more structured way to evaluate what you’re seeing.

Heavy moss and algae in shaded Delta neighbourhoods

Delta has a lot of tree-lined streets, ravines and shaded pockets where roofs stay damp for long stretches. Cedar loves that… until it doesn’t. When shakes sit in constant shade and moisture, you’ll often see:

  • Thick moss carpets growing in the keyways between shakes
  • Dark, slick algae staining the surface, especially on north- and east-facing slopes
  • Debris mats—needles, leaves and organic build-up—holding moisture right against the cedar

A bit of moss on an older roof is normal; a full green blanket is a warning. Moss doesn’t just sit on the surface—it holds water and slowly pries apart fibres, accelerating decay and lifting shakes so wind-driven rain can get underneath.

By the time moss removal and cleaning have to be done frequently just to keep leaks at bay, you’re usually at the point where the shakes have lost too much thickness and structural integrity. That’s when it makes more sense to invest in a cedar conversion to asphalt, metal or synthetic rather than continuing to fight a losing battle with biology. For many owners, the durability and lower maintenance of a modern system—explored in detail in our article on cedar vs asphalt in BC rain —is what finally tips the decision.

Interior stains, drafts and leaks after coastal wind and rain

The roof can look “okay from the street” and still be failing from the inside out. Some of the biggest conversion triggers we see in Delta show up indoors:

  • Brown or yellow ceiling stains that reappear after you’ve painted them over
  • Peeling paint or bubbling drywall near skylights, chimneys and exterior walls
  • Musty smells in bonus rooms, lofts or upper hallways that never fully dry out
  • Cold drafts in certain rooms during windstorms, even when windows and doors are shut

Coastal wind and sideways rain in Delta have a way of finding every weakness—thin shakes at ridges, lazy flashing around chimneys, shallow valleys, poorly detailed step flashing at sidewalls. If leaks keep showing up in the same areas season after season, especially after big storms, that’s usually not a “one more repair” situation; it’s a sign the cedar system as a whole has reached the end of what it can reasonably do.

At that point, a well-planned cedar conversion isn’t just about stopping today’s drip—it’s about rebuilding the entire assembly so your home can handle Delta’s weather for decades without you constantly wondering what the next storm will reveal.

Cedar Roof Conversion Options for Delta Homeowners

When you decide to move on from cedar in Delta, you’re not just picking a new “colour” of roof—you’re choosing how your home will behave for the next few decades in coastal rain, wind and moss. The good news: modern systems give you far more choice than the original builder had. The right cedar conversion feels like a full upgrade to how your house handles weather, noise, maintenance and curb appeal, not just a change in texture on the roofline.

Converting cedar to architectural asphalt shingles

For most Delta homeowners, architectural asphalt shingles are the go-to conversion choice. They hit a sweet spot between price, durability and appearance:

  • Thicker, dimensional profiles that still look at home on West Coast designs
  • Stronger wind resistance than old 3-tab shingles, which matters when those coastal systems roll through
  • A huge range of colours and blends to match existing siding, brick, stucco or stone

When we convert cedar to asphalt:

  • The old shakes and strapping come off, and we re-sheet the roof with proper plywood where needed.
  • We install underlayments and ice & water protection in key areas like eaves and valleys.
  • Flashings are fully updated so you’re not relying on 30-year-old metal around chimneys and walls.

The end result is a roof that’s far easier to maintain than aging cedar but still has visual depth and character. If you want to dive deeper into how we design these systems, our main page on cedar conversion walks through how we approach both structure and aesthetics.

Converting cedar to standing seam or metal shingle roofs

If you’re thinking long-term—“I don’t want to do this again for a very, very long time”—metal deserves a serious look. For the right Delta home, converting cedar to standing seam or metal shingles can feel like putting your house into “low-maintenance mode”:

  • Standing seam metal gives a clean, modern, continuous look with vertical ribs that shed rain quickly and handle wind extremely well.
  • Metal shingles or tiles can mimic traditional profiles (including shake or slate-style looks) while giving you the longevity of metal.

On many Delta conversions, metal makes sense when:

  • You have strong architectural lines, big roof planes or view exposure where the roof is a major visual feature.
  • You want a system that handles coastal moisture, wind and debris with minimal fuss.
  • You’re prepared for a higher upfront investment in exchange for extended lifespan and fewer future replacements.

The conversion process is more precise here: we pay close attention to expansion joints, clip spacing, underlayments and venting so the system stays quiet, stable and well-drained over time.

Synthetic “cedar-look” products for character and heritage homes

Some homes in Delta simply look right with a cedar profile: character houses, custom builds with heavy timber details, or properties in older pockets where the roofline is a big part of the home’s personality. For those, synthetic “cedar-look” products can be a smart middle ground:

  • They mimic the random texture and shadow lines of real shakes without the rapid thinning and cracking you get from natural cedar in constant rain.
  • Many are lighter than natural shakes, which is helpful on older structures where added weight is a concern.
  • Colour options can be tuned to look like fresh-cut cedar or a more weathered, subdued tone.

Underneath, the conversion still follows modern best practices—solid sheathing, high-performance underlayments, upgraded flashings and proper venting—so you’re getting a fully modern roof assembly wrapped in a traditional aesthetic. For a broader context on how these alternatives stack up against real cedar and asphalt in our climate, our blog on cedar vs asphalt in BC rain is a useful sanity check.

Matching your new roof to gutters, siding and overall curb appeal

A cedar conversion is also one of the best chances you’ll ever get to reset the look of your exterior. Instead of treating the roof as a standalone decision, we look at the whole frame:

  • Gutters and downpipes – Do the existing ones match the new roof colour and capacity needs, or is this the moment to upgrade to better profiles or larger sizes?
  • Siding and trim – Earthy tones, greys, blacks and warm browns all behave differently next to stucco, Hardie, wood or brick.
  • Windows and doors – Existing frame colours will influence your best roof palette.

On many Delta homes, small choices—black gutters paired with a charcoal roof, or a slightly warmer shingle tone that ties into wood soffits—create a huge jump in curb appeal without touching anything else. We’ll often stand at the street with you, sample boards in hand, and talk through how the colour and texture of your new system will read from every angle.

When a cedar conversion is handled this way, you don’t just get a dryer, safer house—you get a home that looks like it was meant to have the new roof, not one that’s obviously on its second or third life.

Our Cedar Roof Conversion Process in Delta

Roof and attic inspection, photos and detailed condition report

Every solid cedar conversion in Delta starts with getting brutally honest about the current condition of your roof and attic. We don’t just stand on the driveway and guess. We:

  • Walk the roof, testing for soft spots, loose shakes and suspect valleys
  • Check all the high-risk zones: chimneys, skylights, sidewalls, eaves and transitions
  • Pop into the attic (where accessible) to look for moisture staining, mould, darkened sheathing and ventilation problems

While we’re up there, we take a full set of photos and videos so you can see what we’re seeing—no vague “it’s pretty bad up there” talk. You get a clear condition report that explains what’s still sound, what’s borderline, and what’s actively failing. This is the foundation for the plan we outline on our main cedar conversion page and in your written quote: no guesswork, no surprises.

Full tear-off of cedar shakes, and underlayment

Once you’re ready to move ahead, we strip everything back to structure. That means:

  • Removing cedar shakes and the old underlayment
  • Pulling nails and fasteners, not just hammering them flat and hiding them
  • Clearing valleys, skylight curbs and wall intersections so we can see the bare bones

This is where a “proper” conversion separates itself from cut-corners jobs. We don’t leave old materials sandwiched under the new roof where they can trap moisture, hide rot or create uneven surfaces. The goal is a clean, honest starting point—so the new system isn’t built on top of someone else’s shortcuts.

Plywood/sheathing install and repairing rotten or soft areas

Cedar roofs are often built over skip sheathing or thinner, widely spaced boards. That might have been acceptable when the house went up, but modern asphalt, metal and synthetic systems demand a solid, continuous deck.

Here’s what we do next:

  • Replace any rotten, delaminated or water-stained sections of sheathing
  • Add new plywood where the original deck was open-boarding or inconsistent
  • Tighten up the whole surface so it’s flat, strong and ready for fasteners that actually hold

We pay extra attention at eaves, around chimneys, and under long-standing leak areas—exactly where Delta’s coastal rain likes to test a roof first. Once this step is done, your home finally has the kind of structural base that a modern roof system needs to perform properly.

Ice & water, underlayments and flashing for a leak-free system

With a strong deck in place, we start building the waterproofing layers that sit under your new roof. This is where many older cedar roofs fall short. For a proper conversion, we typically:

  • Install ice & water membrane in vulnerable areas: valleys, lower slopes, eaves, around skylights and chimneys
  • Run high-quality synthetic underlayment over the rest of the deck for consistent protection
  • Rebuild or replace flashings at walls, chimneys, skylights and roof-to-wall transitions

Instead of relying on tired metal and piecemeal patches, we create a continuous, modern waterproofing system. The visible shingles, metal or synthetic are important—but this is the “hidden armour” that keeps Delta’s sideways rain where it belongs: outside.

Ventilation upgrades – ridge vents, roof vents and intake fixes

Cedar roofs often “get away with” weak attic ventilation for years because the shakes breathe a bit. Once you switch to asphalt, metal or synthetic, the system becomes tighter—and any ventilation flaws start showing up as condensation, mould, ice dams or overheated attics.

So we deliberately tune the ventilation during your conversion by:

  • Calculating the intake vs. exhaust needed for your roof size and layout
  • Adding or upgrading ridge vents, static roof vents or a combination that suits your design
  • Improving intake at soffits or other lower points so air can actually flow through the attic, not just get trapped at the top

The goal is a dry, balanced attic that doesn’t cook in summer or sweat in winter. In Delta’s damp climate, this step is not optional; it’s one of the biggest reasons a new roof system reaches its full lifespan instead of failing early.

Installing your chosen new roof system (asphalt, metal, synthetic)

Only after the structure, waterproofing and ventilation are dialled in do we install the visible roof system you chose:

  • Architectural asphalt shingles for most homes that want a strong, attractive, good-value option
  • Standing seam or metal shingles for long-term, low-maintenance performance and bold curb appeal
  • Synthetic “cedar-look” products where character and heritage styling matter, but you want modern durability

We follow manufacturer specifications to the letter: nail placement, exposure, starter courses, valley methods, hip/ridge details and transition details are all handled with long-term performance in mind. The system isn’t just “on” your roof—it’s integrated into every penetration and edge so wind, rain and debris don’t have easy entry points.

Site protection, cleanup and final walkthrough with the homeowner

All of this only feels good if your property and routine are respected along the way. On Delta cedar conversions we:

  • Protect landscaping, driveways and entryways with tarps and plywood where needed
  • Run magnets to collect nails and metal debris around the home and in traffic areas
  • Keep the site tidy throughout, not just at the end of the job

When the last piece is installed and the last valley is sealed, we do a full walkthrough with you:

  • Review key details and show you photos of what’s now hidden under the surface
  • Answer questions about maintenance, snow loads, moss prevention and future inspections
  • Go over your warranties and what to expect from the roof in the coming seasons

By the time we’re done, you don’t just have a new roof—you understand how it was built, why certain choices were made, and how it’s designed to stand up to Delta’s weather over the long term.

Built for Delta’s Coastal, Windy and Wet Climate

Delta roofs don’t live in a gentle, inland bubble. They sit in the path of coastal systems that roll in off the Strait of Georgia, hammering homes in Ladner and Tsawwassen with wind-driven rain, sideways gusts and long stretches of damp, grey weather. A proper cedar roof conversion here isn’t just about “looking good from the street”—it’s about engineering a roof assembly that respects the way water, wind and moss actually behave in this part of the Lower Mainland.

When we design a cedar conversion in Delta, we’re thinking about:

  • How rain hits the building when the wind shifts direction mid-storm
  • How fast water gets off the roof and away from walls, chimneys and penetrations
  • How long surfaces stay wet in shaded cul-de-sacs, ravine edges and treed streets
  • How the attic and deck dry out between weather systems

Every detail—underlayment, flashing, vent layout, material choice—is tuned to those realities, not just to what works on paper somewhere drier.

Handling wind-driven rain from Ladner and Tsawwassen exposures

In Ladner and Tsawwassen you don’t just get vertical rain; you get angled rain that wraps around corners, hits gable ends and tries to force its way under every overlap. Old cedar systems, once they thin and curl, simply can’t defend against that kind of weather anymore.

When we convert cedar in these areas, we:

  • Use ice & water membranes in key zones where wind-driven rain tends to back up—valleys, lower slopes, eaves, wall intersections and transition points.
  • Tighten up valley designs, moving away from tired woven cedar valleys to metal or closed-cut shingle valleys that shed water quickly instead of holding it.
  • Reinforce rake edges and end walls where storms hit hardest, so wind can’t lift edges or drive water sideways under the system.

We also look at exposure: homes facing open fields, farmland or the water often need slightly more aggressive detailing than sheltered subdivision lots. That’s baked into the scope from the beginning, the same way we adjust assemblies across the projects featured on our Delta roofing services page.

Stopping chronic cedar leaks at valleys, walls and chimneys

By the time many Delta cedar roofs reach us, the story is the same:

  • “This valley has leaked three times.”
  • “We’ve had someone caulk this sidewall more than once.”
  • “The ceiling stain near the chimney keeps coming back after big storms.”

Those chronic leaks aren’t random; they’re symptoms of an aging cedar system and outdated detailing. During conversion, we effectively reset all of those weak points:

  • Valleys are rebuilt with proper metal, underlayment and shingle/metal layout so water is guided, not allowed to wander.
  • Walls and sidewalls get step flashing or appropriately detailed membrane/metal interfaces instead of relying on old, reused flashings and gobs of sealant.
  • Chimneys are re-detailed with new flashings, saddles/crickets where needed, and properly integrated membranes so water is deflected around the structure, not allowed to pool behind it.

Instead of chasing individual leaks season after season, a proper cedar conversion wipes the slate clean and creates a modern, coherent water-management strategy for the entire roof.

Reducing moss growth with better materials and airflow

Delta’s mix of tall trees, cooler temperatures and long wet periods is perfect for moss and algae—especially on older cedar roofs that stay damp. You’ll see north- and east-facing slopes in North Delta and Ladner turning green long before the rest of the roof looks tired.

With a conversion, we attack the problem from two angles:

  1. Materials
    • Architectural asphalt shingles, metal and many synthetic systems have surfaces that shed water faster and don’t hold moisture like rough, weathered cedar.
    • We pay attention to shingle colour and finish—some tones and coatings warm and dry slightly faster, which can make a difference on shaded slopes.
  2. Airflow and drying
    • Upgraded attic ventilation removes moist air from inside the home, reducing the likelihood of condensation that can feed biological growth from the underside.
    • Better roof geometry at transitions (crickets, saddles, adjusted slopes) helps eliminate “dead pockets” where water lingers and moss colonizes first.

Moss may still show up over the years in heavily treed pockets—it’s the Pacific Northwest—but it won’t be fighting against a roof that’s perpetually wet and starving for airflow. For homeowners who want a broader seasonal strategy, our Delta weather roof maintenance checklist gives a practical rhythm for keeping that new system clean and healthy.

Treating tricky transitions: skylights, sidewalls, dormers and vents

Most of the real “roof problems” on older Delta cedar systems aren’t in the open fields of shingles—they’re where planes intersect, surfaces change direction, or another structure cuts through the roof. That includes:

  • Skylights in bonus rooms and vaulted living spaces
  • Dormers added during past renovations
  • Sidewalls where upper roofs die into lower walls
  • Plumbing stacks, exhaust vents and kitchen/bath fans that were flashed to cedar decades ago

During a cedar conversion we treat these areas like mini-projects of their own:

  • Skylights may be replaced outright if they’re at end-of-life, then re-flashed with modern kits and membranes that integrate into the new roof system instead of sitting on top of it.
  • Sidewalls and dormers get proper step flashing, counter-flashing (where applicable) and underlayment that climbs the wall, not just a strip of metal and caulking.
  • Vents and penetrations are updated to modern, low-profile, well-sealed units that tie into both the membrane and the finished surface.

The goal is simple: every “complex” detail is rebuilt as if it’s the most important part of the roof—because in Delta’s coastal weather, it often is. When the tricky areas are handled properly, the rest of the system can do its job without you wondering, every time a storm warning hits, which corner of the house will show a new stain next.

Cedar vs Asphalt vs Metal vs Synthetic – What Works Best in Delta?

Choosing what to replace your cedar roof with in Delta isn’t just a style decision. It’s a trade-off between lifespan, maintenance, noise, weight, insurance, and how buyers will feel when they pull up in front of your house five or ten years from now. Delta’s coastal wind, driving rain and moss-heavy shade make those trade-offs sharper than in drier parts of BC.

Lifespan, maintenance needs and warranties compared

Cedar (existing)

  • When it’s new and thick, cedar can be beautiful and reasonably durable.
  • In Delta’s climate, though, constant moisture, moss and UV tend to thin shakes faster than owners expect.
  • By 20–30+ years, most cedar roofs here are on borrowed time: cracked, cupped, patched and prone to chronic leaks.
  • Warranties are usually long gone, and repairs become more about crisis management than asset protection.

Architectural asphalt shingles

  • Typical lifespan in Delta: 25–30+ years with proper installation, ventilation and maintenance.
  • Moderate maintenance: periodic moss control, gutter cleaning, and occasional repairs from wind or branches.
  • Strong manufacturer warranties when installed to spec.

Metal (standing seam or metal shingles)

  • Typical lifespan: 40–50+ years with correct installation.
  • Very low maintenance—clear gutters, check flashings, trim branches.
  • Long-term finish and weathertight warranties available.

Synthetic “cedar-look” systems

  • Middle ground: longer lifespan than cedar, similar or slightly better than high-end asphalt.
  • Low maintenance: no splitting, thinning, or heavy water absorption.
  • Generally strong warranties compared to natural wood.

For a deeper Delta-focused comparison, see our article on the best roofing materials in Delta.

Noise, weight and structural considerations on older homes

Noise

  • Asphalt and synthetic systems are quiet with proper underlayments.
  • Metal is only slightly louder in heavy rain when installed poorly—but properly installed metal is muted and even-toned.

Weight

  • Aging cedar can be surprisingly heavy when saturated.
  • Most modern systems (asphalt, metal, synthetic) are lighter than an old, waterlogged shake roof.

Structure

  • Older Delta homes sometimes hide rot from long-term cedar leaks.
  • We repair the sheathing and structural components during conversion.
  • The goal is a solid, stable base with no flex or sag.

Fire resistance, insurance implications and peace of mind

Cedar

  • Beautiful—but inherently more combustible.
  • Some insurers are cautious about older cedar roofs.

Asphalt, metal and synthetic

  • Much stronger fire resistance.
  • Metal performs particularly well in fire testing.
  • Insurance renewals and underwriting tend to be smoother post-conversion.

Fire resistance affects not just compliance, but how confidently you sleep during heatwaves or wind events.

Curb appeal and resale value in Delta neighbourhoods

  • Architectural asphalt suits most Delta subdivisions and blends well with local architecture.
  • Metal elevates modern and view homes—buyers see it as premium.
  • Synthetic cedar-look keeps heritage character without the maintenance.

A well-executed conversion boosts resale: buyers don’t want to inherit a looming cedar roof problem.

Cedar Roof Conversion Costs in Delta

Costs in Delta depend on roof size, pitch, complexity, deck condition and your chosen system. It’s not just “dollars per square foot”—it’s the long-term cost of protection over 15–25 years.

Key price drivers – size, pitch, access and deck repairs

  • Roof size – Bigger roofs cost more, but often less per sq. ft.
  • Pitch & complexity – Dormers, valleys and steep slopes increase labour.
  • Access – Tight driveways or backyard-only access affect the quote.
  • Deck condition – Soft or rotted sheathing must be repaired during conversion.

Cost differences between asphalt, metal and synthetic options

  • Architectural asphalt – Best value for most Delta homes.
  • Synthetic cedar-look – Above asphalt in price, premium look with low maintenance.
  • Metal – Highest upfront, lowest long-term cost per year due to lifespan.

More context here: how much a new roof costs in Delta.

When it makes sense to invest now vs. patching an old cedar roof

  • Repeated leak calls every rainy season.
  • Interior damage more than once.
  • Soft decking in multiple areas.
  • Medium-term plans to stay or improve resale.

Patching feels cheaper now—but almost always costs more over 10–15 years.

Budgeting, staged projects and financing options

  • Staged work – Tackle worst slopes first when appropriate.
  • Coordinate with other upgrades – Roofing + gutters/siding = reduced access costs.
  • Financing options – Spread payments over time rather than over years of leak repairs.

Cedar Conversions for Delta Strata, Duplex and Multi-Family Roofs

Cedar roof conversions look different when the roof doesn’t belong to just one household. On Delta’s strata complexes, duplexes and multi-unit properties, the priorities shift from “my roof is leaking” to “how do we upgrade the entire building safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption?” A proper strata-focused cedar conversion is part construction project, part logistics operation, and part communication plan—especially in busy complexes where parking, access, noise and resident schedules all matter.

Coordinating with strata councils and property managers

A smooth strata cedar conversion starts with clarity—because nothing derails a large project faster than vague expectations or poor communication. We work directly with strata councils and property managers to:

  • Review condition reports and outline which buildings or sections need attention first
  • Provide detailed scopes showing exactly what’s being replaced, upgraded or repaired
  • Schedule work windows that respect quiet hours, peak traffic times and resident routines
  • Keep council updated with progress photos, daily summaries and any required change approvals

Strata roofing is as much about managing people as it is about installing a system. We approach both with the same level of professionalism.

Phasing work to keep residents and parking disruptions minimal

Most Delta strata sites can’t be shut down for a week. Families need to get kids to school, people need to leave for work, and visitor parking still has to function. That’s why we build every strata cedar conversion around a phased plan:

  • Define which buildings/sections will be tackled first, second and third
  • Rotate crews so residents aren’t dealing with noise or limited access for extended periods
  • Stage materials, dumpsters and equipment so walkways and key parking stalls remain usable
  • Provide advance notice of temporary closures, crane days or days when access will be tight

The goal: a predictable schedule that’s easy for residents and managers to work around—not a chaotic construction site running through the whole complex.

Upgrading aging cedar on townhomes and duplexes to modern systems

Townhomes, fourplexes and duplexes in North Delta, Ladner and Tsawwassen often have original cedar roofs that are now 25–35+ years old. These multi-unit assemblies share valleys, walls, gutters and drainage paths—which means:

  • One homeowner’s leak can affect the neighbour’s ceiling
  • Flashing failures at shared walls impact both sides
  • Piecemeal repairs create mismatched sections that perform differently

A coordinated cedar conversion resets the entire roof to a single, modern system:

  • Proper sheathing across shared rooflines
  • Unified flashing and valley details
  • Matched ventilation strategy across units
  • Clean, consistent curb appeal for the entire building

It protects the structure, the interior units and the long-term property value—not just one household at a time.

Permits, Bylaws and Roof Conversion Requirements in Delta

Roofing work in Delta isn’t a free-for-all. Depending on the scope of your cedar conversion, you may need to follow specific rules around structure, ventilation, fire safety and, in some cases, permits. The key is knowing when simple roof replacement rules apply—and when a cedar conversion crosses into “structural alteration.”

When permits are required for a cedar-to-asphalt or metal conversion

Generally, a permit may be required if:

  • Structural components need replacement (rafters, trusses, significant sheathing)
  • You’re adding weight beyond what the house was designed for (rare, but possible with certain systems)
  • The scope includes skylight replacements, chimney reconstruction or new penetrations
  • The home is in a development with restrictive covenants, heritage considerations or specific strata bylaws

Most cedar-to-asphalt conversions do not require a building permit in Delta—but deck repairs, skylight changes or structural corrections might. When we inspect your roof, we outline which elements fall under which category so there are no surprises.

Meeting ventilation, fire and structural code requirements

A conversion isn’t just about swapping materials. It must also meet current BC Building Code requirements, which include:

  • Ventilation ratios for attic spaces (intake vs. exhaust flow)
  • Fire ratings for roofing assemblies
  • Structural support where the deck has weakened from leaks or long-term moisture exposure
  • Flashing and underlayment requirements around chimneys, walls and other transitions

Delta’s inspectors, insurers and real estate professionals pay close attention to these details because they directly affect the roof’s performance and safety. We build all Cedar conversions with these standards baked into the assembly—not added as afterthoughts.

Helping homeowners and strata navigate approvals smoothly

Whether you’re a homeowner or a strata council, approvals can feel overwhelming. We make it straightforward by:

  • Providing clear documentation and photos for council decisions
  • Preparing written scopes that meet strata/engineering review requirements
  • Helping coordinate trades if other exterior work overlaps (gutters, siding, insulation)
  • Ensuring all materials and methods meet or exceed Delta and BC Building Code standards

The goal is to keep the process smooth and predictable—from first inspection to final sign-off.

Areas of Delta We Service for Cedar Roof Conversions

Cedar roofs in Delta age differently depending on the neighbourhood. Some areas stay wet and mossy for months; others take a beating from coastal winds. Our crews work across all of it, and the material choices, ventilation strategy and detailing often shift depending on where your home sits.

North Delta single-family homes and duplexes

In North Delta, roofs are often shaded by large trees and neighbouring houses. Cedar breaks down faster here because:

  • Moss and algae stay active longer
  • Keyway gaps grow quickly as shakes thin
  • Valleys trap debris year-round

Conversions in these areas focus on stronger underlayment, excellent ventilation and materials that resist moss absorption.

Ladner cedar conversions near the river and farmland

Ladner roofs deal with two major challenges:

  • Long-duration moisture exposure
  • Wind-driven rain sweeping across open farmland

We design conversions here with beefed-up flashing details, ice & water protection in valleys and lower slopes, and ventilation strategies that keep attic moisture balanced.

Tsawwassen and Beach Grove coastal properties

These homes often face the harshest weather in Delta. Coastal storms deliver:

  • Sideways rain
  • Salt-laced wind
  • Strong uplift pressures

Standing seam metal, upgraded asphalt systems and synthetic options all work well here when combined with robust membrane layers and reinforced edges.

Strata complexes and low-rise buildings across Delta

Large complexes often blend shaded areas with high-exposure sections. Cedar conversion strategies here focus on:

  • Unified ventilation
  • Consistent sheathing replacement
  • Larger-scale logistics planning
  • Clean, consistent curb appeal across multiple buildings

Why Delta Homeowners Choose Us for Cedar Roof Conversions

Dedicated cedar conversion experience across Delta

We’ve converted cedar roofs in every part of Delta—North Delta cul-de-sacs, shaded Ladner streets, windy Tsawwassen corners and multi-unit complexes. Each neighbourhood has its own quirks, and we build systems specifically for how roofs age there , not just “in general.”

Manufacturer-approved installs with strong written warranties

Our crews follow exact specifications from leading manufacturers, which allows us to provide stronger warranties and fully compliant systems. It also ensures your roof performs the way the product is engineered to perform.

Detailed quotes, photos and clear scopes before we start

Every project begins with evidence: roof photos, attic photos, inspection notes and a written breakdown of what needs replacing, what’s optional and what’s recommended. No guesswork. No vague descriptions.

Clean job sites, respectful crews and reliable follow-up support

Your home isn’t a construction yard. We keep it that way. That includes:

  • Protecting driveways, decks and landscaping
  • Daily cleanup and magnet sweeps
  • Respectful communication with homeowners and neighbours
  • Fast response if you ever have questions later

Professionalism doesn’t end when the last shingle is installed—it continues as long as you own the system.

Cedar Roof Conversion FAQs for Delta Homeowners

How long does a cedar roof conversion usually take?

Most single-family conversions take 3–5 days, depending on size, complexity and deck condition. Strata buildings, duplexes and multi-unit blocks may require a phased schedule.

Do I need to replace all my plywood during the conversion?

Not always—but expect some replacement. Cedar systems often hide long-term moisture damage. We replace only what’s necessary to deliver a safe, solid deck for your new roof system.

Can you convert my cedar roof during the rainy season?

Yes—with proper planning. We stage tear-off and rebuild in sections, use temporary protection, and schedule around incoming systems. Delta weather is unpredictable; we work with it, not against it.

Will the new roof be louder or hotter than cedar?

Asphalt and synthetic systems are generally similar in noise and temperature to cedar once proper underlayment and ventilation are in place. Metal can sound different in heavy rain—but installed over full sheathing with quality underlay, most homeowners describe it as a soft, even patter, not a “drum.”

How do I know if I should convert now or wait a few more years?

Consider converting now if you’re seeing:

  • Recurring leaks
  • Moss covering entire slopes
  • Soft spots in the deck
  • Interior stains or musty smells
  • Multiple repair calls in recent years

If you’re unsure, a professional inspection and photo-backed report makes the decision clear.

Experience The Paragon Roofing BC Difference

Perfection in roofing. Because we're different.

Your satisfaction is guaranteed. Throughout the whole process, from the initial onsite consult to the final roof install, our friendly and knowledgeable team members will work with you to maintain open communication. 

Frequently Asked Questions.

Roofing is an investment into your property. Here are some FAQs to help navigate making that choice.

  • What are signs I need roof repairs?

    Roof leaks cause stains on walls and ceilings which make them visually obvious. If your insulation is compromised, you’ll likely smell moist air that could be from water coming in through a leaky roof.  

  • How long can I expect my roof repair or new roof to last?

    A new roof will last longer than a repair or patch job. However, you might not need a completely new roof installed because some repairs are small enough to prevent larger issues from getting worse.  

  • How much do roofing services cost?

    All roofing projects are different. The scope of the roofing service will be unique to each home. If it’s a small repair or a full roof replacement, you’ll see much different bottom lines on the estimates. With Paragon Roofing BC, we always provide transparent pricing that you’ll be able to rely on.
