Metal roofing and siding in Surrey

Surrey has more roofs coming due at once than anywhere in BC: the 1970s and 80s subdivisions of Guildford, Fleetwood and Newton on their second shingle roof, and the big 1990s and 2000s houses of South Surrey, Panorama Ridge and Fraser Heights on their first. Plenty of those owners are asking whether this is the roof to go to metal on, and for a house you plan to keep, it usually is. We also roof Campbell Heights warehouses and the farm buildings south of 16th Avenue.

Local conditions

Big roofs, big subdivisions and a lot of strata

Surrey's 1980s and 90s houses are large, with hips, valleys and multiple gables. On those we quote both standing seam and metal shingles, because the cut-up shape can tip the value toward shingles. The second replacement is also the moment to fix attic ventilation, which these houses rarely got right, and we build a ridge vent into the metal ridge as standard.

In Cloverdale and Clayton, 2000s townhouse complexes are 20 to 25 years old and councils are gathering quotes together. We price metal and shingles side by side for the depreciation report. South of Highway 10 the work shifts to barns, equipment shops and the greenhouses of the Serpentine flats, where ribbed steel on purlins is the standard.

Questions

Surrey metal roofing questions

Do I need a permit for a metal roof in Surrey?

Surrey's permit page says minor exterior repairs to a house need no permit but never mentions roofing, and its Building Bylaw defines regulated construction to include repair. Call the Building Information Line (604-591-4366) before re-roofing. Rules change, so confirm with the municipality; where a permit is needed we prepare the application.

Do you come out to Surrey 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.
