  • $2M liability insured
  • WorkSafeBC covered

How we work

Ladysmith Roofing replaces and repairs asphalt, metal and torch-on flat roofs across Ladysmith, Saltair, Chemainus and Cedar. We install roofing systems from $4 to $30 per square foot based on material and pitch. We fit asphalt shingles that last 15 to 30 years and metal panels that last 40 to 70 years.

What every written quote includes

We write down every line item before any work starts on your home. You get a clear breakdown so you see exactly where your money goes. We list the main roofing material, underlay, eave protection and flashing separately. We include tear-off of your old roof, disposal fees, and full clean-up before we leave. We also detail any venting upgrades, replacement sheathing costs per sheet, and custom flashing around chimneys or skylights.

Our site visit comes first. We walk the roof and check the attic where accessible. We measure every slope, check the deck for rot, and examine existing flashing and vents. We photograph everything we find so you can see what needs attention. We use these measurements and photos to build your quote.

You receive the written document with no missing costs or unlisted items. We explain every line item and answer your questions before you sign off. We do not start work until you have this document in hand and feel completely comfortable with the scope. If the weather delays a start date, we keep you informed. Once approved, the price on that page is the price you pay.

Once you approve the quote, we reserve a dry weather window on our calendar for your project. The day before we arrive, we confirm our start time, review ground setup details with you, and check updated local radar to ensure rain stays clear during tear-off.

Our service area

Where we work

We work on roofs across Ladysmith, Saltair, Chemainus and Cedar. Roofs in Saltair and Cedar take more wind-driven rain near the water. We treat eave protection and underlay with the same care as your shingles. Wet winters bring moss and trapped moisture to Island roofs. We check your flashing and vents closely on every inspection. We focus on correct edge details to make your roof last longer out here. We check the same details on a routine inspection as we do on a brand-new install, because a roof that's been up for years needs that attention just as much as one we put on last month.

Frequently asked

Frequently asked roofing questions

How much does a new roof cost in Ladysmith?
We install asphalt shingle roofing at $4 to $9 per square foot and metal roofing at $8 to $30 per square foot. Your final price depends on roof size, pitch, access and the material you choose.
Do I need a permit to re-roof in Ladysmith?
It depends which of four jurisdictions you're in. The Town of Ladysmith requires a permit for a re-roof — roofing isn't on its bylaw's exemption list. North Cowichan, which covers Chemainus, and RDN Area A, which covers Cedar, both exempt a straightforward re-roof unless structural work or an insulation upgrade is involved. For Saltair the CVRD publishes no roofing-specific exemption, so we confirm it with CVRD Building Inspection before we start.
How often should my roof be inspected?
We recommend inspecting your roof twice a year in spring and fall, plus after any major storm.
What's the difference between asphalt and metal roofing?
We install asphalt shingles that last 15 to 30 years and cover the widest slope range under the BC Building Code. We install metal roofing that lasts 40 to 70 years with no maximum slope limit under the BC Building Code.
Are your roofers licensed in BC?
British Columbia issues no provincial trade licence for roofers. We carry $2 million in liability insurance and WorkSafeBC coverage on every job, and we explain which permit applies to your address.
Do you clean up the site after a roof replacement?
Yes. We haul away the old roofing material, magnet-sweep the yard for nails and staples, and do a full site clean-up before we leave. The bin goes when the crew does.
