Metal roofing and siding in Burnaby
Burnaby's older neighbourhoods, the Heights, Capitol Hill, the South Slope and the streets below SFU, sit under mature cedars and firs. That shade is why asphalt roofs here grow moss within a few years and why a metal roof makes such a difference: nothing for moss to root in, and needles slide off rather than dam. Prices run a few percent below Vancouver.

Local conditions
Mature trees and mid-century roofs
The 1950s and 60s bungalows of North Burnaby and the Heights have simple gable roofs that take standing seam beautifully, and their owners have usually had enough of moss treatments. The 1970s and 80s houses on the South Slope and around Deer Lake are bigger and more cut up; there we quote metal shingles alongside panels. Vancouver Specials across the city have low-slope roofs that mostly stay membrane, though a mechanically seamed standing seam roof is an option above 2:12.
Gutters matter here. Under the trees they fill every fall, and on a metal roof needles that dam behind snow guards need micro-mesh guards to keep moving. Bathroom fans venting into the attic are common in houses of this age; we duct them through the roof during the job.

Questions
Burnaby metal roofing questions
Do I need a permit for a metal roof in Burnaby?
Burnaby says minor non-structural exterior repairs do not need a permit and never states a rule for an ordinary re-roof. Call the Building Department (604-294-7130) to confirm before starting. Rules change, so confirm with the municipality; where a permit is needed we prepare the application.
Do you come out to Burnaby 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.
