Metal roofing and siding in Abbotsford
Abbotsford is the agricultural capital of the province, and farm country is metal roofing country: poultry and dairy barns, berry and vegetable packing buildings, equipment shops on every acreage, and a growing number of houses whose owners work in those buildings and know what a metal roof does. We install and replace farm roofs across the Sumas and Matsqui prairies and Mount Lehman, and standing seam and metal shingles in the city's neighbourhoods.
- Permit like-for-like re-roofing on a house needs no permit under the Building Bylaw

- Snow more than Surrey, with slides off barn roofs onto yards
Local conditions
Farm roofs first, and a city catching up
A poultry barn or dairy roof is a demanding environment: humidity, ammonia, long spans and a building that cannot be emptied for long. We specify panels and fasteners for it, detail ridge and eave venting so the roof breathes, and use anti-condensation fleece panels over the birds or the parlour. Re-roofs are usually panel over panel on the existing purlins after we check them, phased so the building keeps working.
In the city, the 1970s to 90s houses of Clearbrook, Mill Lake and Bateman are on their second shingle roof and asking about metal, and the hillside neighbourhoods of McKee Peak, Auguston and Eagle Mountain get enough snow that guards matter. The Sumas Prairie flood of 2021 also put roofs and siding on a lot of rebuild lists.

Questions
Abbotsford metal roofing questions
Do I need a permit for a metal roof in Abbotsford?
On a single-family house, replacing the roof covering like for like does not need a building permit under Abbotsford's Building Bylaw. A permit is needed if the job changes the shape of the roof, touches structural components, or is on a multi-family building. Rules change, so confirm with the municipality; where a permit is needed we prepare the application.
Do you come out to Abbotsford for small repairs?
Yes. Repairs, gutters and small outbuildings are quoted the same way as a full roof: a visit, photos and a written price.
