Clear options for the roof. A coordinated plan for the people below.
Paragon Roofing BC provides roof repair, maintenance, installation and replacement for strata and multifamily properties across the Lower Mainland. We help councils, property managers and rental building owners define the work, compare a written scope and coordinate roofing around residents.
Our own roofing crews. Owner involvement throughout the work.
THE RIGHT SCOPE FOR THE ROOF
Start with the leak history and current condition. A localized defect may suit a targeted repair; recurring problems can call for a wider investigation. Set maintenance around drainage, roof details and the selected system.
Explore multifamily roof repairs and maintenanceCompare the whole assembly: removal, decking, insulation or underlayment, roof covering, flashings and drainage. Identify the buildings, phases and responsibilities before accepting a proposal.
Plan multifamily roof installation and replacementRoof condition findings and a current proposal can help the qualified professional preparing a strata depreciation report. Agree on the inspection and documentation needed for that purpose.
Understand the roof’s role in a depreciation reportTELL US ABOUT THE PROPERTY
Share your role, number of buildings, roof type if known, leak history and the council or owner’s next decision. Let us know about existing reports, access restrictions and tender or meeting deadlines.
We will discuss the assessment scope, current availability and any applicable inspection or reporting fee.
COUNCILS, MANAGERS & RENTAL OWNERS
A townhouse complex, condominium building and rental apartment can need similar roofing work but different approval and access arrangements. Name one authorized project contact and keep a record of decisions.
| Property situation | Planning priorities |
|---|---|
| Strata council | Confirm roof responsibility against the strata plan, bylaws and relevant agreements. Establish the funding and approval process before accepting a contract. A material change that significantly changes common property’s appearance can require an owner vote; confirm the applicable requirements and exceptions. The manager or legal adviser can confirm the required authority. |
| Property manager | Coordinate records, access and resident communication under the client’s instructions. Identify who may approve the scope, schedule and additional work. |
| Rental building owner | BC’s Residential Tenancy Act requires landlords to maintain rental property in suitable repair and meet applicable health, safety and housing standards. Plan roofing around those duties and occupied homes. Confirm lawful suite access, the emergency contact and how tenants should report new leaks. |
| Several buildings or roof areas | Separate the condition, work and cost for each area. Assess whether phasing is practical and what temporary protection or interim maintenance each phase requires. |
Confirm permit and consultant requirements with the municipality and the appropriate professional for the actual building and scope.
COMPARE THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY
A single property may combine sloped roofs, low slope areas, canopies and transitions. The suitable system depends on the building, slope, structure, drainage and specification.
| Roof system | What to review |
|---|---|
| Asphalt shingles | Product suitability for the slope, deck preparation, underlayment, valleys, flashings and attic intake and exhaust ventilation. |
| Low slope membranes | The specified SBS, TPO, PVC or EPDM assembly, substrate, insulation, attachment, drainage and compatible details around walls and penetrations. |
| Metal roofing | Panel profile, slope limits, attachment, thermal movement, compatible underlayment, wall transitions and water discharge. |
| Cedar or composite options | The particular product’s requirements, roof structure, weight, appearance, ventilation and any approval needed to change materials. |
Explore roofing material options, then compare the proposed assembly and warranty documents for your building. A product warranty and a workmanship warranty cover different responsibilities.
PROJECT GALLERY · LOW SLOPE ROOFS
These two views of Paragon’s Massey Street project in New Westminster show why a proposal needs to cover more than the main roof surface. They are roof system examples from a documented project; your building needs its own assessment.
LOCAL SERVICE & PLANNING
Start with the local page for your property. For other Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley locations, send us the address and access details so we can confirm the next step.
FOR A COUNCIL MEETING OR TENDER
Identify the roof areas, removal, deck repairs, materials, flashings, drainage, access and protection included. Separate fixed work, allowances, options, exclusions and taxes.
Building height, roof complexity, existing layers and hidden damage can affect cost. Confirm who documents new findings and who authorizes changes. Include your reporting or meeting deadline in the enquiry below.
PROJECT GALLERY · DETAILS IN THE SCOPE
Vents, ridges and pipe flashings are part of the roofing assembly. These examples show different details to discuss during an assessment, without assuming the same specification suits every building.
PLAN AROUND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE
Agree on municipal construction hours, notices, parking, staging and equipment routes. Identify any suites, balconies or hatches needed before arranging access. Keep entrances and emergency access in the plan. Suite entry must follow the applicable notice, permission or lawful exception; roof access does not automatically authorize entry to a home.
Define work zones, fall protection, debris handling, temporary weather protection and the response to changing conditions. Discuss noise, odours, rooftop equipment and resident needs before scheduling.
Report active water entry promptly to the authorized manager or landlord. Take photographs only from a safe location. For rental housing, a major roof leak may qualify as an emergency repair when it is urgent and necessary for safety or protection of the property.
Use the designated emergency contact and applicable emergency repair procedure. Confirm contractor availability directly; submitting an online form does not confirm an emergency attendance time.
FROM FIRST CONTACT TO COMPLETION
Tell us the address, concern, roof history and decision you need to make.
Confirm access, investigation, any fee and reporting requirements. Record inspection limits and any further investigation needed.
Compare the written proposal, clarify responsibilities and confirm the required authority before booking work.
Coordinate residents, staging, delivery, permits and the work sequence with the authorized contact.
Our own crews complete the roofing work with owner involvement. Newly discovered conditions follow the agreed change approval process.
Review the agreed scope and any remaining items. Keep the invoice, agreed records, warranty documents and maintenance requirements.
COMMON PLANNING QUESTIONS
We discuss roofing work with strata councils, property managers and rental building owners. Share the building type, location and scope so we can confirm the assessment and project requirements. The approval and access arrangements depend on the property.
A localized defect may be repairable when the surrounding roof is serviceable. Recurring leaks, widespread deterioration or damage within the assembly may require a broader investigation and replacement plan. Roof age alone does not establish the scope.
No. A roof assessment addresses the roof within an agreed investigation scope. Its findings and a current roofing proposal can support the qualified professional preparing the broader depreciation report.
Sometimes, if the condition of the roof areas and their connections allow it. Define phase boundaries, temporary protection, interim maintenance and the risks of delay. Additional mobilization and future material pricing can affect the total cost.
Occupancy arrangements need to be reviewed for the actual scope. Plan entrances, exits, noise, odours, equipment, deliveries and resident needs with the authorized contact. Confirm any suite access and notices before work starts.
Provide the address, building count, roof material if known, leak and repair history, available reports, access restrictions and your decision deadline. Confirm which roof areas, investigation and documentation are required before comparing prices.
The strata corporation must repair and maintain common property, subject to the applicable legal and bylaw provisions. Responsibility for a particular roof depends on the strata plan and filed bylaws, especially for bare land stratas. Report a leak to the council or property manager and confirm responsibility before authorizing work.
Start with the assessment and a comparable written scope. The council or manager should confirm the required authorization and funding route, which may involve the operating fund, contingency reserve fund or a special levy. A significant change to the appearance of common property can need a separate owner approval. Confirm the rules and any emergency exception for the actual proposal.
For strata work, the council or manager should check the filed bylaws and arrange authorization and any required written notice, including the reason, date and approximate time. Landlord entry to a rented suite follows the Residential Tenancy Act: permission, compliant written notice with a reasonable purpose, or another lawful ground is needed. Emergency entry has specific conditions; a roof job does not itself grant access to a home.
Notify the landlord or designated emergency contact promptly. Under BC’s Residential Tenancy Act, a major roof leak qualifies as an emergency repair when it is urgent and necessary for safety or the preservation or use of the property. Landlords must provide an emergency contact. Tenants arranging repairs must follow the statutory contact and reasonable response time requirements; reimbursement is conditional. Confirm roofing availability directly.
