Asphalt shingles, installed the way the manufacturer intends.
Most BC homes wear asphalt shingles, and most re-roofs happen exactly once in a generation of ownership. Choose the system right and it's the last shingle decision you'll make for decades.
Why architectural shingles win in coastal BC.
- Built for rain. Laminated, multi-layer shingles shed water in layers, which is exactly what 1,500 mm of annual rainfall demands.
- Wind rated. Premium lines carry 130 to 210 km/h wind ratings when installed with the full system.
- Real warranties. Manufacturer limited-lifetime material coverage plus our written workmanship warranty.
- Best value per year. A $12,000 architectural roof lasting 30 years costs less per year than almost any alternative.

The shingle is maybe half the system. What decides whether your roof reaches year 30:
- Ice-and-water membrane at eaves, valleys and penetrations
- Synthetic underlayment across the full deck
- New flashings at every wall, chimney and skylight (never re-used)
- Proper intake and exhaust ventilation so the attic stays dry
- Starter strip and hip/ridge cap from the same manufacturer, same warranty family
Every one of those is a line in our written quotes. If another quote doesn't mention them, ask why.
