Metal roofing and siding in Harrison Hot Springs
Harrison is a resort village at the foot of a 60-kilometre lake, with lakefront houses, cabins and rental properties that see more snow, more wind off the water and more freeze-thaw than the valley floor. Owners here often live elsewhere and want a roof that needs nothing for decades, which is the case for standing seam, and the hillside lots make snow retention a safety item rather than an option.
- Permit recovering an existing roof is listed as needing no permit; inspections are by the Fraser Valley Regional District
- Lake wind and freeze-thaw on the waterfront
- Owners many part-time, wanting zero-maintenance roofs
Local conditions
Lakefront weather and absent owners
Wind comes down the lake in winter and drives rain and snow at the houses along Esplanade and the east shore, so edges, clips and ridge closures are detailed for uplift. Freeze-thaw cycles are harder on shingles here than anywhere west, which is why so many Harrison roofs fail in 15 years; metal does not care. Snow slides off the steep A-frames and chalets common around the village, and guards go above every entry and over decks.
For owners who visit a few times a year, a roof that will not grow moss, hold needles or need a fastener walk is the whole point. Cabins and outbuildings on the surrounding acreages take ribbed steel; the house gets standing seam.
