Our service area

Where we work

We work on roofs across Ladysmith, Saltair, Chemainus and Cedar. Saltair and Cedar sit closer to the water, so those roofs take more wind-driven rain than one set further inland — that's why we treat eave protection and underlay as seriously as the shingles themselves. Vancouver Island's wet winters also mean moss and trapped moisture do more damage here than in a drier climate, so we check your flashing and vents as closely as the shingles on every inspection. Get those details right and a roof simply lasts 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?
Asphalt shingle roofing on Vancouver Island generally runs $4 to $9 per square foot installed, and metal roofing runs $8 to $30 per square foot, based on July 2025 BC-wide pricing. 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. We pull whatever permit applies.
How often should my roof be inspected?
Twice a year, in spring and fall, plus after any major storm — the standard maintenance interval published by the Roofing Contractors Association of BC.
What's the difference between asphalt and metal roofing?
Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 15 to 30 years and work on the widest range of slopes under the BC Building Code. Metal roofing costs more upfront, but it lasts 40 to 70 years and has no maximum slope — that's why you'll see it on the Island's steeper roof lines.
Are your roofers licensed in BC?
British Columbia issues no provincial trade licence for roofers. We carry $2 million in liability insurance and WorkSafeBC certification on every job, and we pull whatever permit the municipality requires.
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.
