Our old roof started to leak around the New Year, when it was hard to find a roofing contractor. We were lucky to call Chris - Chris sent his team as soon as possible, adding our repair to the already busy schedule. Chris kept us informed about the roof conditions and the repair details. When we were looking to replace the roof and the gutters a few months later, Chris's quote was exceptional compared to competing quotes. His crew did a perfect job; Chris was supportive throughout the roof replacement work, promptly answered our numerous questions, and made sure we we satisfied with the job, making required adjustments on the fly. Many thanks, Chris and the team!

Chris responded promptly and assisted us when a tree fell on our roof during a December snow storm. He was fast and efficient and mitigated further damage for us. Many thanks Chris and team!

We'd called other roofing companies previously but they took ages to respond. Finally, we called GVRD and Chris was quick to respond on the phone. He sent someone, Abid, to come inspect our flat roof leak within a few days. Abid was very professional and arranged to fix the leak within a week. Overall, very satisfied with the response time and service.

I called GVRD roofing after our recent rain and wind storm as I discovered the shingles around my gutters had fallen off causing a big hole in my roof. They made time for me during their busy schedule and helped me avoid any restoration costs from water damage as they were quick to respond and efficiently fixed the hole. I would recommend GVRD roofing for anyone looking for experienced roofing experts.

What is the cost of installing a roof in Vancouver BC, Canada?

Most people imagine a roof is going to be extremely expensive, and ask the question what is the cost of installing a roof in Vancouver today? Well it’s 2022 and the cost of everything has gone up. Even getting materials has become a challenge with supply shortages everywhere. The average cost of a roof will depend on a few things. 

1. How big is my roof?
2. What type of roofing materials do we want to install?
3. Is my existing roof 1 layer or multiple layers?
4. Is there plywood under existing roof, or is it cedar or tile. In the case it has strapping.
5. Can the roofers access the roof for a bin
6. Can a Crane truck reach the house to load materials or will they need to load it by hand?

So they are the first questions you should ask. The next question you will ask is what type of roofing materials are out there and what is the difference in price and quality.

When it comes to Roofing products there are many brands colours and styles to choose from. 

The list is long by I will point out a few so you don’t get confused.

Asphalt Shingle Products:

Cost for removal, replacement, including labour, delivery, garbage, and products range from.

$385.00 per 100 sq ft, to $1200.00 per 100 sq ft.

1. Malarkey Shingles
2. IKO 
3. CertainTeed
4. GAF
5. Owens Corning
6. PABCO

Laminated Shingles come in many different styles colours and thicknesses. From Single ply SBS, Double SBS, and Triple SBS shingles, with warranties ranging from 15 years to 50 years. There are other brands out there but I suggest staying away from any no-name brands.

Composite Shingles:

Cost for removal, replacement, including labour and materials range from.

$1075.00 to $2200.00 per 100 sq ft

1. Enviro Shakes 
2. EcoStar
3. CertainTeed
4. Symphony 
5. DaVinci

These products range in price and style. Typically you should expect to pay more for materials and products. Typically these brands come with warranties starting at 25 years to 50 years.

Cedar shakes and shingles:

The cost of labour and materials will range from.

$1000.00 per 100 sq ft to $1800.00 per 100 sq ft

1. #2 Shakes & shingles
2. #1 Shakes & shingles
3. TaperSawn
4. Jumbo

Depending on your roofs existing strapping you will need 18 inch or 24 inch. If you are wanting a cedar roof to last I suggest buying treated cedar products, as Vancouver’s weather is not very forgiving. Cedar shingle thicknesses range from 1/4 to 3/4 inch.

Metal Roofing Systems:

Cost for labour and materials.

$1150.00 per 100 sq ft to $2400.00 per 1200 sq ft

1. Aluminum Roofs
2. Copper Roofs
3. Corrugated Metal Roofs
4. Standing Seam
5. Pro-lock
6. Steel Metal Roofs
7. Tin Roofs
8. Zinc Metal Roof

These roofs are lifetime roofing systems when installed correctly. Metal roofing products range in price from $350.00 per 100sq ft to $1200.00 per sq ft. Installation cast will also range and it is difficult to price installation cast as it depends on complexity of the roof design. The thickness of these products start at 30 gauge down to 18 gauge. 18 gauge being the thickest.

Torch on (Hot Application):

Cost of labour and materials.

$850.00 per 100 sq ft to $3800.00 per sq ft.

1. IKO
2. Soprema

Both these products are very similar in quality and design. Most commercial building use a build up system that will include Vapour barrier, ISO board, Recovery board, and a multiple of different peel and stick roll out and torch down base and cap sheeting.
