Any roof with less than a 2:12 pitch needs a membrane, not shingles. Torch-on seals the whole surface so snowmelt and rain can sit on the roof without finding a way in.
With the right cap sheet, torch-on doubles as a durable deck surface over living space, so you can use your rooftop or balcony without worrying about leaks below.
Many Kelowna homes pair a sloped main roof with flat sections over garages, carports and additions. Torch-on is the reliable way to keep those areas dry.
Large flat roofs on shops, offices and multi-family buildings get a tough two-ply system that handles rooftop equipment, foot traffic and decades of Okanagan weather.
A base sheet plus a granulated cap sheet, both heat-welded. Flexible in the cold, durable in the heat, and the right fit for most Kelowna flat roofs.
A stiffer membrane with strong UV resistance, useful on sun-baked, south-facing roofs with little foot traffic.
Heavier cap sheets designed for sundecks and balconies that see regular foot traffic and patio furniture.
Rigid insulation under the membrane improves energy efficiency and can correct slope on roofs that pond water.
Best when the roof is under about 15 years old and the problem is limited to a seam, blister, flashing or drain.
Best when the membrane is cracked, brittle or leaking in several places, or the roof is 20+ years old.
For new homes, additions, garages and sundecks that need a flat roof built right from the start.
We check your roof, show you photos and recommend the most cost-effective option, with no pressure.
SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) modified bitumen is engineered for cold, snowy climates like the Okanagan. Stays flexible down to -40°C, bonds permanently in damp conditions, and handles our temperature swings without cracking. This is the system we recommend for most flat roofs in the Okanagan because it simply works better here.
APP (Atactic Polypropylene) modified bitumen excels in high-heat, high-UV environments. Best for sun-baked, south-facing Okanagan roofs where UV degradation is the primary concern.
Fiberglass reinforcement adds serious strength and fire resistance. Required for some commercial buildings to meet fire code. More rigid than polyester but offers superior dimensional stability and Class A fire ratings.
Polyester reinforcement provides maximum flexibility and puncture resistance. The best choice for roofs with regular foot traffic, rooftop equipment, or buildings in areas with significant thermal movement.
Mineral granule surface protection extends membrane life by blocking UV rays and adding fire resistance. The premium option that adds 5-10 years of service life compared to smooth-surface membranes.
Torch-on and flat roofing are a core part of what we do, not a side service. Our crews work with SBS membranes every week.
We detail drains, scuppers and wall flashings for snow, ice and spring melt, which is where most flat roof leaks begin.
Torch-on uses open flame, so we follow strict fire-safety procedures and stay on site after torching to check for hot spots.
We install complete systems to manufacturer specifications so your material warranty stays valid.
If your flat roof starts leaking at night or on a weekend, call us and we will get a crew out to protect your property.
Flat and low-slope sections on homes, detached garages, carports and walkable sundecks get a durable torch-on membrane that seals out snowmelt and ponding water.
Stop disrupting your tenants with emergency repairs. Professional-grade torch on roofing provides the leak-free performance that keeps businesses operating and tenants renewing leases.
Heavy-duty torch-on roofing protects high-traffic roofs from forklift vibration, equipment loads, and maintenance access, resisting punctures, tears, and damage better than cheaper alternatives.
Eliminate leak complaints and water damage with expert torch-on installation, delivering decades of reliable protection, keeping units dry, residents satisfied, and property values strong.

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.

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.Posted on Google![]()

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.
