Vancouver BC Roofing Contractor
Vancouver's wet coastal climate is brutal on roofs. Whether you need moss removal and treatment on an aging cedar shake, a full asphalt shingle replacement after a windstorm, or a new low-slope membrane on a Burnaby bungalow, Skye Blue Construction is the roofing contractor Vancouver homeowners call first.
The Pacific Northwest delivers roughly 1,500 mm of rain a year to Vancouver roofs, plus freeze-thaw cycles that punish flashing, valleys, and penetrations. A roof here is not just shingles — it's a system of underlayment, ventilation, flashing, gutters, and the small details that decide whether your home stays dry through November.
Skye Blue Construction handles residential roofing across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. We work on asphalt shingle (IKO and CertainTeed), cedar shake and shingle, standing-seam metal, and flat-roof membranes (torch-on SBS and TPO) for low-slope sections. Our team removes moss by hand with a brush — never a pressure washer, which strips protective granules and shortens shingle life — then applies a zinc-sulphate treatment that kills remaining growth and slows regrowth.
For full replacements, we strip to deck, inspect the sheathing for rot, replace any compromised plywood, install ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, lay a synthetic underlayment on the field, and re-flash every penetration. Vancouver's building code requires secondary waterproofing on most low-slope assemblies; we install a self-adhered membrane under the primary roofing on any pitch below 4:12.
We service all Vancouver-area communities: Vancouver, Burnaby, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Richmond, New Westminster, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Surrey, Langley, and White Rock. Most roof replacements are scheduled within 2–4 weeks of contract. Emergency tarping and leak response is same-day in most of metro Vancouver.
Roofing Questions, Answered.
Everything Vancouver homeowners ask about our roofing service.
How much does a new roof cost in Vancouver BC?
Most Vancouver asphalt shingle replacements run $7–$12 per square foot installed, depending on pitch, layers to remove, and sheathing repairs. Cedar shake runs $12–$18. Metal standing-seam $18–$28. We give free written fixed-price quotes after an in-person inspection.
Do you do roof moss removal in Vancouver?
Yes — moss removal is one of our most-requested Vancouver services. We hand-brush moss (never pressure wash), then apply a zinc sulphate monohydrate treatment to kill remaining growth and slow regrowth. Typical cost is $400–$1,200 for an average Vancouver home.
Are you licensed for roofing in BC?
Yes. Skye Blue Construction Ltd is licensed, bonded, and insured in BC, registered with WorkSafeBC, and holds a City of Vancouver business licence. License numbers are available on request.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family Vancouver roof replacements take 2–4 days depending on size, complexity, and weather. We schedule around Metro Vancouver weather forecasts and tarp overnight if a job runs into a rain day.
Do you work with insurance claims?
Yes — we regularly work with BC home insurance claims for wind, hail, and storm damage. We document damage, provide a written scope, and coordinate with your adjuster.
What roofing materials do you install?
Asphalt shingles (IKO, CertainTeed), cedar shake and shingle, standing-seam metal, and flat-roof membranes (SBS torch-on and TPO). We'll recommend the right system for your Vancouver home's pitch, exposure, and budget.
