03 / Projects
Three roofs, start to finish.
Each case study shows the problem we found, what we did about it, and how it has held up since.
03.01 / Fort Langley
The Glover Road farmhouse
- Material
- Hand-split western red cedar
- Duration
- 9 working days
- Size
- 2,650 sq ft

Challenge
A 1928 farmhouse with three layers of old roofing, sagging purlins and a heritage look the owners refused to lose.
Solution
We stripped to the rafters, sistered six weak members, added a ventilated batten system and laid hand-split shakes in the original exposure.
Result
The attic now stays dry through a full winter, and from the road it looks like the house simply aged well.
03.02 / Walnut Grove
Ridge-line modern on 208th
- Material
- 24-gauge standing seam steel, charcoal
- Duration
- 7 working days
- Size
- 3,100 sq ft

Challenge
A tired cedar roof on a new-build style home, with six intersecting planes and a low-pitch section over the great room.
Solution
Panels were formed on site to each run length. The low-pitch section got a mechanically seamed profile rated for its slope.
Result
Clean lines that match the architecture, and a roof the owners expect to outlive their mortgage.
03.03 / Langley
Brookswood townhouse block
- Material
- Two-ply SBS membrane, tapered insulation
- Duration
- 12 working days
- Size
- 8 units, 9,400 sq ft

Challenge
Ponding water, four leaking skylights and a strata that needed work staged so every family could stay home.
Solution
We phased the job two units at a time, rebuilt drainage with tapered insulation and replaced every skylight.
Result
No standing water after the first November storm, and zero interior leak calls since.
