Building a New Flat Roof the Right Way

A new flat roof only performs as well as its installation. We plan slope and drainage, install a base sheet and heat-welded SBS cap sheet, and detail every edge, drain and wall flashing so your new torch-on roof is watertight from day one and ready for Okanagan winters.

Benefits of a

New Torch-On Roof

Drainage Designed From Day One

On a new roof we build in proper slope, drains and crickets so water never sits. Most flat roof problems come from poor drainage designed in at the start.

One Continuous Membrane

Two heat-welded plies create a single waterproof sheet with no glued seams to dry out, a big advantage over cheaper single-ply options.

Ready for Decks & Patios

Planning a rooftop deck? We install a walkable cap sheet and detail thresholds and railings during construction, when it is easiest to do right.

Fits Modern Home Designs

Contemporary Okanagan homes often use flat and low-slope roof sections. Torch-on gives you the clean look without the leak risk.

What’s Included in Every New Install

Deck Inspection & Prep

We check the roof deck, slope and fastening before anything goes down, and correct problems while the roof is open.

Base Sheet & Cap Sheet

A base sheet, then a granulated SBS cap sheet heat-welded on top, for two full layers of protection.

Drains, Scuppers & Crickets

We install drains and build crickets so water flows off the roof instead of ponding in low spots.

Metal Flashings & Edges

Custom drip edges, wall flashings and parapet caps finish the roof and protect every edge from water and wind.

Our New Roof Installation Process

01

Plan & Quote

We review your plans or site, confirm slope and drainage, and give you a detailed written quote and schedule.

02

Coordinate With Your Builder

On new construction we work around framers, decks and windows so flashings are integrated, not added later.

03

Heat-Weld Both Plies

Our crew torches the base and cap sheets with controlled heat and overlapping seams for a continuous waterproof membrane.

04

Final Walkthrough & Warranty

We inspect every seam and flashing with you, clean up the site and register your manufacturer warranty.

I had an excellent experience with GVRD Roofing. From the initial inspection to the completed project, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They communicated clearly throughout the process, showed up when they said they would, and the quality of the workmanship was outstanding. It's clear they take pride in their work and genuinely care about delivering a roof that's built to last. The crew kept the site clean, worked efficiently, and made the entire experience stress-free. If you're looking for a reliable roofing company for residential or commercial roofing, roof repairs, or metal roofing, I highly recommend GVRD Roofing. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for future projects.

We are a townhouse strata community in West Vancouver, BC, and GVRD recently completed our renewal project involving 12 flat garage roofs (2025). After getting quotes from three companies, we chose GVRD because of their shorter lead time, reasonable pricing, and strong warranty terms—and it turned out to be the best decision. The workmanship was excellent, the team was highly experienced, and they used advanced technology and equipment throughout the process. Everything was efficient and well‑organized, and their customer service was outstanding. Since completion, the new roofs have already been tested by several storms and atmospheric river events, and they have proven to be strong and reliable. In addition, GVRD provided valuable support for our upcoming roof and deck maintenance planning for the next 3–5 years. They even used drone technology for detailed measurements and assessments, which was extremely helpful. Highly recommended.

The entire roof installation was completed to a very high standard and the quality of the workmanship really shows. GVRD Roofing was extremely responsive, professional, and quick to address everything that came up. Their communication, service, and attention to detail made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend GVRD Roofing for anyone in Vancouver looking for reliable flat roof installation services. Thank you!

I had Dan came over to look at a water pooling and minor leak on my torch-on flat roof. He gave me a quote, came back as agreed. The roof was fixed, flattened and new drain was added. I am happy with the work and the cost was reasonable. They fixed what was needed and it was done in a timely manner. I will be looking for them to do regular inspections in the future.

Torch On Roofing Questions Answered

Most residential flat roofs are installed in 1-3 days once the deck is ready. Larger and commercial roofs are scheduled in phases.
New construction and additions are usually covered by your building permit. For other work, we will tell you whether a permit is needed and help you through it.
Torch-on needs a dry deck and suitable temperatures to bond properly. In winter we schedule around dry weather windows to protect your warranty.
Price depends on roof size, slope, drains, insulation and access. After reviewing your plans or roof, we provide a detailed written quote with no surprises. Replacing an existing flat roof instead? See torch-on roof replacement.
Torch-on handles foot traffic, punctures and Okanagan temperature swings very well. For roofs with decks or equipment, we usually recommend it.
Yes. Adding rigid insulation during installation improves energy efficiency and can also create slope to help water drain. For leaks on an existing roof, see torch-on roof repair, or browse all torch-on roofing services.
