East Cambie Roofing — North Richmond Family and Mixed Use
East Cambie is a north Richmond family neighbourhood between Cambie Road and Bridgeport Road. Most homes were built 1985 to 2010 with a heavy concentration of newer single family, townhouse strata complexes, and mixed commercial along the Cambie Road retail corridor. Paragon covers all of East Cambie with institutional quality work and family ownership since 2010.
East Cambie sits in north Richmond between Cambie Road to the north, Westminster Highway to the south, No 4 Road to the east, and No 5 Road to the west. The neighbourhood is largely a 1985 through 2010 build out with a mix of newer single family streets, townhouse strata complexes, and the Cambie Road retail corridor. Most homes are 15 to 40 years old. The 1990s and 2000s asphalt re roof cohort across the older homes is at or past first cycle replacement age.
Roofing demand here is first cycle single family replacement primarily, with significant townhouse strata work and a steady flow of Cambie Road commercial flat roof work. The 1990s and 2000s asphalt installations are mostly at end of life. Townhouse strata complexes from the same era are at first cycle. Custom builds from 2005 to 2010 are at 15 to 20 years and starting to need attention on flashing details and ventilation upgrades.
What we do in East Cambie
First cycle replacement is the volume work
East Cambie was a major Richmond expansion zone through the 1990s and early 2000s. The single family stock from that era is hitting first cycle asphalt replacement right now. Most of those original installations were basic architectural grade shingles with standard 25 to 30 year warranty. The actual lifespan in Richmond marine humidity has come in at the low end of that range. First cycle replacement is arriving across most of the neighbourhood. Premium architectural at $17,000 to $28,000 buys 30 to 40 year lifespan. Standing seam metal at $26,000 to $46,000 buys 50 to 70 years.
Cambie Road retail corridor
Cambie Road through East Cambie carries strip malls, restaurants, small commercial buildings, and mixed use that we serve for flat roof membrane work. Most buildings were built 1990 through 2010 with original built up tar and gravel or torch on systems. Many are at first or second cycle replacement. Roof areas typically run 5,000 to 30,000 square feet per building. Total project costs run $40,000 to $300,000 or more. Conversion from torch on to TPO single ply is increasingly common because of longer service life and reflective surface. Quick access through the surrounding residential streets makes routing efficient.
