Metal roofing and siding in White Rock

White Rock is a hillside facing south over Semiahmoo Bay, and every roof on it gets sun, wind and salt. It is also a city of small lots, steep streets and houses being rebuilt one at a time, which means a lot of new standing seam roofs beside 1960s bungalows on their third set of shingles. For the beachfront and the first few blocks up the hill we build in aluminum; higher up, steel with a PVDF finish is a sound choice.

  • Permit replacing roofing is general maintenance needing no permit
  • Salt aluminum on the lower hillside and beachfront
  • Lots small and steep, so access is part of the quote

Local conditions

A south-facing hill over salt water

The sun side of White Rock fades cheap finishes fast, so finish matters as much as metal: PVDF paint carries 20 to 40 year film warranties where polyester systems do not. The salt argues for aluminum on exposed homes and for sealed, hemmed edges on steel everywhere. Wind comes off the bay in winter, and eave and gable edges are fastened accordingly.

Many White Rock lots are tight, with the house close to the neighbours and the street below, so staging, protection and material handling take more time than on a Surrey lot. New builds here commonly pair a standing seam roof with flat metal cladding and woodgrain aluminum soffits.
