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 parts of a shingle roof nobody sees.

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.

Shingle questions

How long do architectural shingles last in the Fraser Valley?
Premium laminated lines typically deliver 25 to 35+ years here. Coastal rain and moss pressure are the main enemies, which is why ventilation, clean gutters and occasional moss treatment matter as much as the shingle itself.
What's the difference between Malarkey, IKO and CertainTeed?
All three make excellent architectural shingles. Differences show up in granule technology, impact ratings and price tiers. Malarkey leads on sustainability features and impact options, IKO and CertainTeed offer the broadest colour ranges. We bring samples and give you a straight comparison on your own roof's context.
Can I just overlay new shingles on old ones?
We don't recommend it and most manufacturers won't honour full warranties on overlays. Tear-off lets us repair decking, replace flashings and start the warranty clock properly. It's included in our quotes.
Why did my 15-year-old builder roof fail early?
Builder-grade shingles are the thinnest tier, often installed fast with minimal ventilation. They age in waves across a subdivision. Upgrading one tier at replacement time typically doubles the service life.
Do dark shingles make the house hotter?
Modern shingle granules reflect more heat than they used to, and attic ventilation controls the temperature you actually feel. Pick the colour you love; we'll handle the heat.
