Metal roofing and siding in Agassiz
Agassiz and the District of Kent are dairy country, a major dairy area with barns that are, nearly without exception, roofed and sided in ribbed steel. Panel-over-panel re-roofs, new barns on engineered purlins and the venting a milking parlour needs are our bread and butter here. The houses in Agassiz and along the Lougheed are a mix of farmhouses and 1970s to 90s subdivisions, and snow and the canyon wind make metal the sensible roof for them too.

Local conditions
Dairy barns and a windy valley floor
A dairy barn roof works hard: humidity from the herd, ammonia, long clear spans and a building that is never empty. We spec 26 gauge panels with a finish suited to the environment, size ridge and eave venting to move air, and run anti-condensation panels over the stalls and parlour. Re-roofs go over the existing panels after a purlin check and are phased so milking is never interrupted.
Houses here take the outflow wind straight down the valley in winter, so edge detailing and clip spacing are designed for uplift, and snow guards go above entries. Standing seam on the house and ribbed steel on the outbuildings, in one colour, is the usual order.

Questions
Agassiz metal roofing questions
Do I need a permit for a metal roof in Agassiz?
The District of Kent's homeowner guide says roofing repair or replacement does not require a permit, but the homeowner must ensure the work conforms to the Building Code. Altering or structurally repairing the building needs a permit. Rules change, so confirm with the municipality; where a permit is needed we prepare the application.
Do you come out to Agassiz 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.
