Metal roofing and siding in Chilliwack
Chilliwack gets more snow and more wind than the western valley, and its dairy farms, hop yards and hillside neighbourhoods all show it. Metal is already the roof on nearly every barn and shop from Greendale to Rosedale; it is now the roof going on at Promontory and the Eastern Hillsides, where shingle roofs ice up and slide-prone snow needs managing, and on the new farmhouse-style builds in Garrison and Sardis.

- Farms dairy, hops, corn, hobby acreages
Local conditions
Snow, wind and dairy country
Promontory, the Eastern Hillsides and Ryder Lake sit high enough that snow stays for weeks, and the houses there are 1990s and 2000s shingle roofs that form ice at the eaves every winter because the attics were never ventilated properly. A standing seam roof with a built-in ridge vent, soffit intake and snow guards above the doors ends the ice and the shovelling at once.
On the flats, dairy barns, shops and hop drying buildings are ribbed steel, and the work is panel-over-panel re-roofs, new buildings on engineered purlins, and the condensation control a milking parlour needs. The outflow wind from the canyon is strong enough that eave and gable fastening is designed for it.

Questions
Chilliwack metal roofing questions
Do I need a permit for a metal roof in Chilliwack?
Chilliwack's Building Regulation Bylaw exempts non-structural repair and maintenance of a conforming house on a single-family lot, which is how a like-for-like re-roof is normally treated, but the City does not name roofing. Confirm with the Building Division (604-793-2905). Rules change, so confirm with the municipality; where a permit is needed we prepare the application.
Do you come out to Chilliwack 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.
