Roofing for New Westminster's older commercial and strata buildings.
New Westminster has some of the oldest commercial building stock in Metro Vancouver, and that changes how a roof has to be approached. Buildings in Uptown and Downtown often carry several layers of previous roofing, original decking that needs assessment before anything is loaded onto it, and parapet and flashing details that were never designed for the drainage loads we see now.
Our completed work here includes 75 East 6th Avenue in Uptown. On older buildings, the inspection stage matters more than on new construction — what is under the existing membrane usually determines both the scope and the price.
Multiple roof layers, aging parapets and built-in gutters. These roofs reward a proper investigative inspection before a scope is written, because surprises under the membrane are the norm rather than the exception.
Low and mid-rise residential where the roof sits directly over occupied homes. Documentation for the strata council and a clear resident communication plan are as important as the workmanship.
Larger low-slope roofs where drainage capacity and ponding are the usual failure points, particularly on buildings that have had mechanical equipment added over the years.
Every service below is available across New Westminster and the rest of Greater Vancouver.

Common questions
Often, yes. Where a roof already carries two or more layers, a full tear-off is usually required rather than an overlay, both for weight and because you cannot warranty a system installed over an unknown assembly. We assess the deck condition during the inspection and tell you what we find before pricing the work.
Yes. We provide written commercial roof inspection reports covering current condition, remaining service life and recommended action, which councils use to support funding decisions and to inform their depreciation report.
Yes — they are common on older New Westminster buildings and a frequent source of leaks, because the failure is usually hidden inside the structure rather than visible on the roof surface. We repair and rebuild them as part of roof work.
A typical small commercial roof is measured in days rather than weeks; a larger industrial or strata roof is phased over several weeks. Weather, roof access and the amount of remedial work found during tear-off are the three things that move the schedule most.
