Roofing Services in West Vancouver – Trusted Roofers for Homes & Estates

Welcome to Paragon Roofing BC—your local team for West Vancouver roofing that looks sharp, drains right, and lasts. From custom steep-slope shingle and cedar conversions to metal systems and strata/commercial flat roofs, we plan, install, and maintain roofs built for real coastal weather, not showroom conditions.

Why West Vancouver needs a different approach: steep grades demand precise staging and fall-safe workflows; ocean winds test fasteners and flashing details; heavy winter rain and snow expose weak underlayments, poor ventilation, and shallow drainage. We design assemblies that resist uplift, shed water fast, and handle freeze-thaw—so your roof performs on the North Shore’s toughest days, not just the easy ones.

With manufacturer-certified crews and years of hands-on experience across Ambleside, Dundarave, British Properties, and Caulfeild, we deliver meticulous prep, clean lines, and tight terminations—no shortcuts, no guesswork. Need repairs, full replacement, or proactive maintenance? We’ll scope it clearly, match materials to your architecture and budget, and stand behind the work with transparent warranties and responsive service.

Homes. Businesses. Strata. If it’s in West Van and it needs a roof that actually holds up here, Paragon Roofing BC gets it done—clean, correct, and built to last.

Roof Replacement in West Vancouver

PARAGON ROOFING BC - PERFECTION IN ROOFING

Signs it’s time to replace (age, leaks, storm damage)

West Van roofs work hard—salt air off Burrard Inlet, heavy rain, winter winds funneling through the Capilano. When you start noticing these, you’re not being “picky”; you’re being smart:

• Roof age (18–25+ years for asphalt, 40+ for metal/cedar with care): once materials hit their design life, granule loss, curling, and brittleness accelerate fast.
• Active leaks or recurring stains: brown ceiling halos, musty attic smells, or damp insulation signal failed underlayment and potential mold.
• Storm damage: lifted tabs, missing shingles, creased ridges, tree-impact bruises, or scattered granules in gutters after a windstorm.
• Wavy lines or sagging planes: possible deck rot from long-term moisture.
• Moss + algae takeover: beyond “looks,” heavy growth traps moisture and shortens shingle life.
• Sky-high energy bills / stuffy attic: poor ventilation or exhausted components causing heat buildup and ice-dam risk.

If you’re seeing two or more of the above, replacement is usually more cost-effective than piecemeal repair in West Vancouver’s climate.

Step-by-step process: inspection → tear-off → deck repairs → premium installation

We keep it clean, predictable, and built to last:

1. Inspection & Planning

• Full roof + attic assessment (venting, soffits, moisture readings).
• Photo report with priority issues, material options (architectural shingles, standing seam metal, synthetic shakes), and a clear scope + timeline.

1. Permits, Protection & Site Setup

• Safety plan, dumpster placement, landscape/driveway protection.
• Weather eye on the forecast—no tear-off without a dry window.

1. Tear-Off to Deck

• Strip all layers to the structural deck so hidden problems don’t survive under a new roof.
• Separate disposal for metal, asphalt, and wood to keep the site tidy.

1. Deck Repairs

• Replace soft, delaminated, or gapped plywood.
• Correct slopes at trouble spots to move water to drains/gutters, not valleys.

1. Premium Weatherproofing

• Ice & water shield at eaves, valleys, penetrations; synthetic underlayment elsewhere for superior tear resistance.
• Upgrade flashings, vents, pipe boots, and chimney details—leaks start at transitions, so we overbuild them.

1. Installation by the Book (and then some)

• Manufacturer-spec nailing patterns, straight courses, tight valley geometry.
• Balanced intake/exhaust ventilation to protect the system and your warranty.
• For West Van, we recommend wind-rated shingles or metal to handle Howe Sound gusts.

1. Detailing & Cleanup

• Custom color-matched perimeter metal for a crisp finish.
• Magnet sweep, gutter cleanout, and a spotless yard you don’t have to re-rake.

1. Final QA + Warranty Package

• Walkthrough, photo documentation, and manufacturer + workmanship warranties registered to your address.
• Maintenance tips tailored to West Vancouver’s rain, shade, and coastal exposure.

Roof Repair & Emergency Roofing in Vancouver & the Lower Mainland

When a storm rips through, an ice dam backs up, or cedar shakes blow off overnight, you don’t need drama—you need fast, leak-proof roof repair that actually lasts. We’re on call to stop active leaks, protect interiors, and restore your roof’s integrity with manufacturer-compliant methods.

Emergency Response—We’re On the Way

Call anytime. A live dispatcher routes a crew, as available.
On-site triage: We locate the true water entry, not just the drip.
Dry-in first: Temporary containment (membrane caps, torch-on patches, tarps with proper anchoring) stops the leak now.
Permanent fix: Once weather allows, we complete a code-compliant repair with matching materials and fully sealed terminations.

Urgent signs to call now: active ceiling drips, bubbling paint/drywall, burnt-rubber smell on flat roofs, daylight through shingles, lifted cedar shakes, or shingles curled from wind uplift.

Vancouver’s Most Common Roof Problems (and how we fix them)

• Wind Uplift & Storm Damage
  Gusts loosen fasteners and break the sealant bond. We re-seat and re-seal shingles, replace damaged tabs, re-fasten ridge/hip caps, and add high-wind nailing patterns where required.
• Ice Dam Leaks
  Freeze–thaw traps meltwater at the eaves, forcing it under shingles. We open a melt path, replace compromised underlayment/shingles, reinforce with ice & water membrane, and improve attic ventilation/insulation to reduce future dams.
• Cedar Shake Blow-Offs & Aging
  Dried shakes split and lift. We surgically swap individual shakes, reset felt interlays, correct exposed fasteners, and apply selective preservative—extending life without a full replacement.
• Flat Roof Blisters, Ponding & Split Seams
  We cut, dry, patch, and heat-weld/torch new membrane, re-establish slope where feasible, and re-seal penetrations (vents, drains, skylights) to manufacturer spec.

Our Leak-Proof Repair Method (Step-by-Step)

1. Thermal/visual diagnostics to trace moisture paths.
2. Moisture reading & deck check to catch hidden rot.
3. Targeted membrane/shingle removal (no hack-jobs).
4. Substrate remediation (dry-out, replace compromised sheathing).
5. System-matched materials (shingle, cedar, or SBS/TPO/EPDM) for a like-for-like repair.
6. Redundant sealing: underlayment laps, flashing re-sets, counter-flashing, and sealed fasteners.
7. Proof-test under hose (when conditions allow) and photo report for your records.

Why Homeowners & Strata Choose Us

• Rapid dispatch & honest ETAs during weather events.
• Manufacturer-compliant fixes that protect warranties.
• Detailed photo reports you can forward to insurance.
• Preventative insights (venting, insulation, drainage) so the same leak doesn’t return.

Prevent the Next Leak Before It Starts

Add a seasonal roof inspection and gutter/drain maintenance to catch loose caps, failing sealant, and debris that fuels ice dams and ponding.

Service Areas

Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Delta, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Richmond, North/West Vancouver, Langley, Maple Ridge, and nearby communities.

FAQ (Quick Answers for Searchers)

Q: Do you really come out at night or in heavy rain?
A: Yes. We’ll contain the leak immediately and return for the permanent repair when it’s safe/dry.

Q: Will a small shingle repair match my roof?
A: We source profile- and color-compatible materials and blend repairs at seams/ridges to minimize visibility.

Q: Can an ice dam be “fixed” without replacing my roof?
A: Often. The right mix of eave membrane, attic ventilation, and insulation dramatically reduces damming.

Roof Inspections and Preventive Maintenance

Seasonal inspections before heavy winter storms

Vancouver winters hit roofs hard—wind-driven rain, sudden cold snaps, and debris-clogged gutters all conspire to find the weakest point. A pre-storm roof inspection catches small issues before they snowball: loose or lifted shingles, cracked pipe boots, open seams on flat roofs, tired flashing around skylights and chimneys, and blocked drainage that invites ponding and leaks. We check attic ventilation for moisture buildup, clear gutters/downspouts, re-seal critical penetrations, and tighten exposed fasteners. Expect a photo-rich report with prioritized fixes so you know what truly matters now versus what can wait. The result? Fewer emergencies, less downtime, and a drier, warmer home when the first atmospheric river rolls through.

Annual or bi-annual maintenance plans to extend roof life

A roof maintenance plan is the difference between reacting to leaks and staying leak-free. Choose annual or bi-annual visits (spring and/or fall) where we: remove debris, re-seal laps and terminations, top up pitch pans, reset loose perimeter metal, service drains and scuppers, and spot-repair membranes before they fail. You’ll get documented inspections, warranty-friendly care, and priority response if a storm ever does cause damage. For strata and commercial properties, we tailor schedules by roof type (shingle, metal, 2-ply SBS/torch-on, TPO/PVC) and exposure, helping maximize service life while controlling lifetime cost. Consistent, light-touch maintenance beats major replacements—protecting your roof, budget, and peace of mind.

Premium Roofing Materials to Match West Vancouver Architecture

West Vancouver’s architecture deserves finishes that look incredible and perform through salt air, wind, and steep mountainside weather. Below are premium options that pair beautifully with estates in the British Properties, waterfront homes in Dundarave/Ambleside, and modern builds near Horseshoe Bay—each chosen for curb appeal, longevity, and resale value.

Cedar Roofing – natural elegance for waterfront and mountainside properties

Nothing says West Vancouver luxury like hand-split cedar. Warm tones, textured shadow lines, and that coastal, organic feel—perfect for timber-frame and craftsman homes. With premium treatment and proper venting, cedar delivers strong durability against marine moisture while aging into a silvery patina that neighbors notice. Want quiet, refined, and distinctly Pacific Northwest? Cedar checks every box.

Slate & Synthetic Slate Roofing – timeless, long-lasting

Natural slate is the gold standard: heirloom looks, extreme longevity, and unrivaled prestige on traditional and European-inspired estates. Prefer lighter weight with fewer structural demands? Synthetic slate mirrors the exact slate profile and color depth while offering impact resistance, easier installation, and lower maintenance—all without compromising the timeless West Van aesthetic. It’s old-world beauty with modern practicality.

Metal Roofing – modern look, superior weather resistance

For sleek lines and architectural drama, standing seam metal delivers. It shrugs off heavy rain, wind, and coastal conditions, shedding water and snow quickly on steep pitches. Metal’s crisp seams complement contemporary glass-and-concrete designs and elevate energy performance with reflective finishes. Quiet underlayment systems, wide color palettes, and clean detailing create that refined, modern West Vancouver look—built to last.

Asphalt Architectural Shingles – cost-effective and stylish

Today’s architectural shingles offer high-definition profiles that mimic wood and slate at a friendlier price point—without sacrificing performance. Expect excellent wind ratings, algae resistance (key for shaded mountainside lots), and deep color blends that pop against cedar, stone, and stucco. If you want standout curb appeal, reliable warranties, and smart value for a luxury neighborhood, premium asphalt is a savvy, design-forward choice.

Flat Roofing Systems That Win in West Van Weather

Torch-on (SBS Modified Bitumen)

Best for: roofs with complex details, parapets, or heavy foot traffic.
Why it works here: SBS stays flexible in cold, handles freeze–thaw, and seals seams under heat for a robust, layered membrane.
Highlights:

• 2-ply assemblies (base + cap) for redundancy
• Mineral-surfaced caps for UV and impact resistance
• Excellent for strata where long service life cuts lifecycle cost

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)

Best for: bright, reflective, energy-savvy roofs with clean layouts.
Why it works here: hot-air welded seams = single-sheet monolithic finish; high reflectivity = lower heat gain.
Highlights:

• Cool-roof option for mixed-use and retail
• Quick visual leak tracing
• Strong chemical/ozone resistance

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)

Best for: large, simple decks needing a rugged rubber membrane.
Why it works here: excellent UV stability and flexibility in wind and temperature swings.
Highlights:

• Fewer seams with wide sheets
• Long-term weathering performance
• Great value for expansive strata blocks

Not sure which to choose? We’ll model lifecycle cost, warranty terms, and disruption impact to recommend the right system for your building—not just the newest trend.
