Roofing services in Surrey, BC
A leaking roof, a planned replacement and a shared building each need a different starting point. Paragon Roofing BC helps Surrey homeowners, businesses and strata councils assess their roof, compare the options and define the work.
Founded in 2020, Paragon Roofing BC is backed by a team with over 20 years of roofing experience. Our own roofing crew carries out the work, with owner involvement and detailed written proposals that explain what you are purchasing.
Tell us your Surrey address, property type and what has changed. If water is entering now, mention that when you contact us so the enquiry reflects the immediate problem.
Start with the building
Roofing support for your property
Choose the service that matches how the property is used and who will approve the work. The assessment can then address the roof itself, access, disruption and the information needed for a decision.
Commercial roofing
Assess flat or sloped roofs with attention to drainage, rooftop equipment, occupied space and maintenance access. Establish a repair scope or a replacement plan around building operations.
Explore commercial roofing in SurreyStrata roofing
Organize findings, priorities and proposed work for a shared property. Plan approval, resident communication, building access and the records needed to manage the roof after completion.
Explore strata roofing in SurreyTell us what your roof needs
Use the enquiry form below to describe the property and the reason for the assessment. Useful details include active leaks, previous repairs, the existing roof material and any access restrictions.
Choose the right scope
Repair, replace or investigate further?
The starting point is the condition of the roof and the source of the problem. Age is useful background, but the assessment should also establish how much of the system is affected and whether a proposed repair can connect to sound material.
| What you notice | What needs checking | A useful next step |
|---|---|---|
| A leak or a small area of damaged roofing | The entry point, adjacent flashing and whether the surrounding covering remains serviceable. | Request a roof repair assessment with the location and history of the problem. |
| Repeated leaks or widespread deterioration | The extent of damage, earlier repairs, the roof deck and the practicality of continued patching. | Discuss roof replacement alongside any viable repair option. |
| A new home or an addition | The roof design, specified materials, structural requirements and connections to adjoining roof areas. | Plan the new roof installation with the building team. |
| Water collecting on a flat roof | Drain outlets, local roof levels, membrane condition and penetrations. Clearing one outlet may not resolve every drainage issue. | Arrange a commercial roof assessment with drainage included. |
| Staining near a skylight or chimney | The unit or masonry, flashing, nearby roofing and possible moisture sources inside the building. | Identify the affected detail and request the appropriate specialist assessment. |
| Dampness or frost in the roof space | Possible roof leaks, indoor moisture, air leakage, insulation and the intended ventilation path. | Investigate the cause before choosing new vents or replacing the roof covering. |
For Surrey homes
A residential roof is a connected system
Replacing the visible covering is only part of a roofing proposal. The scope should explain what happens to the existing material, which deck areas can be inspected, and how valleys, edges, walls, chimneys and skylights will be detailed.
For a repair, ask what failed and how the repair joins the surrounding roof. For a replacement, ask which components will be renewed, which may remain and what happens if concealed damage is found after removal.
New construction also needs coordination with the builder. Roofing details, deliveries, access and the condition of the roof deck should be agreed before installation begins.
Materials with a purpose
Compare the roof assembly, appearance and upkeep
Material choice starts with the roof shape, slope, supporting construction and desired finish. Ask for the exact product and installation specification so that appearance, maintenance and written warranty terms can be compared on the same basis.
| Option | What it offers | What to clarify |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingles | A range of colours and profiles for suitable sloped roof assemblies. | The specific shingle, deck requirements, underlayment, flashing and ventilation approach. |
| Cedar shakes | A natural wood appearance with a distinct texture and changing finish. | The product grade, roof assembly, exposure and maintenance needed at this property. |
| Metal roofing | Different profiles, finishes and edge details, including panel and shaped roofing options. | The exact system, attachment, movement details, flashings and access for future maintenance. |
| Synthetic slate | A manufactured option for a slate style appearance. | The individual product specification, supporting construction and applicable installation requirements. |
| EPDM and other membranes | Options for appropriately designed flat or low slope roof areas. | Drainage, seams, penetrations, insulation, attachment and compatibility with the existing system. |
| Cool roofing | Products selected partly for their solar reflectance and thermal properties. | Whether the product suits the building and assembly. A reflective finish alone does not establish energy savings. |
Planning solar panels or another rooftop addition?
Discuss it while the roofing scope is being prepared. The remaining roof condition, future access and attachment details can affect the order of work. Any electrical or solar installation should have its own clearly defined responsibilities and approvals.

Commercial and industrial properties
Keep the building in the plan
A commercial roofing proposal needs to account for the activities below the roof as well as the covering above it. Discuss roof access, deliveries, entrances, rooftop equipment and any areas where work could affect occupants or operations.
For a flat roof, the assessment should record the membrane type, visible seams, penetrations and drainage. TPO, EPDM and modified bitumen systems have different detailing and repair requirements. The proposal should identify the system being repaired or installed.
If replacement is being considered, clarify how existing layers and insulation will be assessed, which details are included and how the roof will be protected while work is underway.
Discuss commercial repairs and maintenance
Shared roofs and shared decisions
Give a strata council a clear basis for approval
For a townhouse, condominium or other shared property, start by confirming who is responsible for the affected roof area and who can authorize the work. The strata plan, bylaws and any alteration agreements may be relevant to that decision.
An assessment should distinguish an immediate repair from planned renewal. Ask for the location of the issue, available condition photos, the proposed scope and any limits caused by concealed or inaccessible areas.
For larger work, discuss resident notices, access to units, parking, deliveries and the sequence of roof areas. Keep proposals and completion records with the property maintenance information so future decisions have a useful history.
Plan strata roofing in SurreyLook at the connections
Skylights, chimneys and ventilation deserve their own assessment
A stain near an opening does not always identify the entry point. Water can involve the roof covering, flashing, the skylight or chimney itself, or moisture within the building. The scope should follow the findings.
Skylights
Check the unit, glazing, curb or mounting detail, flashing and surrounding roofing before choosing repair or replacement.
Skylight repair and installation in SurreyChimneys
Consider the masonry and the connection to the roof. A roofing repair and a chimney repair can involve different parts of the problem.
Chimney repair and installation in SurreyRoof space moisture
Investigate indoor moisture, ceiling air leakage, insulation and the intended ventilation path together. Adding vents does not resolve every moisture problem.

Plan for the actual property
Roofing decisions across Surrey
Surrey includes established neighbourhoods, new housing, business properties and shared buildings. From Fleetwood and Newton to Guildford, Whalley, Cloverdale and South Surrey, the plan should reflect the building, its access and the people using it.
Access and daily use
Discuss driveway space, shared entrances, landscaping, delivery areas and where materials can be placed. A commercial building may need pedestrian routes and deliveries maintained; a strata property may need notices and access coordinated with several residents.
Weather and drainage
Agree how roof areas will be protected as work progresses and how weather can affect the schedule. Identify gutters, drains, valleys and areas that collect debris so drainage is considered with the roofing work.
Permits and approvals
Confirm with the City of Surrey whether the proposed work needs a permit, especially when the scope changes the roof structure or adds an opening. The written proposal should identify who will confirm requirements and obtain any necessary approvals.

Make each stage of the work clear
- 1
Describe the property and issue
Share the address, property type, leak or repair history, available photos and any planned changes. Identify the person responsible for arranging access and approving work.
- 2
Assess the roof and explain the findings
Review accessible roof areas and relevant connections. Ask what was inspected, what remains concealed and what further investigation may be needed.
- 3
Review the written proposal
Confirm the scope, materials, removal, protection, allowances, exclusions and warranty documents. Agree how unexpected conditions and changes will be approved.
- 4
Coordinate the installation or repair
Set out access, deliveries, site protection and the expected sequence of work. Discuss weather delays, occupant needs and communication while the work is underway.
- 5
Review the completed work
Clarify cleanup, any remaining items, the records being provided and how to report a concern. Keep product and workmanship warranty information with the maintenance plan.
Compare the written scope
What shapes a roofing quote?
Roof area, slope, access, the existing layers, the selected materials and the number of details all affect the scope. Floor area alone does not describe the roof that needs to be repaired or replaced.
Compare proposals using the same assumptions. Ask whether removal, disposal, deck repairs, flashing, ventilation, protection, permits and cleanup are included, excluded or carried as allowances. Clarify how the final cost changes if hidden damage is uncovered.
A useful quote makes those decisions visible. It should also distinguish a short term repair from a broader replacement so you understand what each option is intended to address.
Maintenance and warranty questions
Keep a record of repairs, leaks and inspections. The inspection and maintenance plan should reflect the roof system, the site, earlier findings and any written warranty requirements.
- What routine care is appropriate for this roof?
- Who should inspect hard to reach details and drainage?
- What product warranty applies, and is registration needed?
- What workmanship coverage is provided in writing?
- What exclusions, maintenance duties and claim steps apply?
A warranty period is not a prediction of the roof’s service life. Review the actual terms for the products and work being proposed.
Before you decide
Questions about roofing in Surrey
How do I choose a roofing company in Surrey?
Compare how each company assesses the roof and explains the proposed work. Request a written scope, suitable project references, current insurance information and the specific warranty terms. Make sure access, cleanup, allowances and the approval of extra work are clear before you commit.
Does a leaking roof always need replacement?
No. A localized problem may be repairable when the surrounding materials remain suitable. Repeated leaks, widespread damage or a roof that cannot support a durable connection need a broader assessment. The recommendation should explain the cause, extent of damage and limits of the repair.
Which roofing material is best for a Surrey home?
The choice depends on the roof assembly, appearance, budget and maintenance expectations. Compare the exact products with the roof’s slope, deck and flashing requirements. Material names and warranty lengths alone do not establish which option is suitable for your house.
Do you handle commercial and strata roofing?
Yes. Paragon Roofing BC provides roofing services for Surrey businesses and strata properties as well as homes. Tell us about the building use, roof type, access and approval process so the assessment and proposal address the people and operations involved.
How long will a roof repair or replacement take?
Timing depends on the scope, roof size and complexity, access, material availability, weather and conditions discovered during the work. Request a proposed sequence and an explanation of what could change it. Confirm how the roof will be protected if work pauses.
Do I need a permit for roof work in Surrey?
Permit requirements depend on the proposed work and the property. Confirm the scope with the City of Surrey before starting, particularly if the work alters the structure or adds roof openings. The proposal should identify the person responsible for confirming requirements and arranging any permits.
How do I know when an older roof should be replaced?
Have its condition assessed, including the covering, flashing, accessible deck areas and earlier repairs. Age provides context, but no single replacement interval fits every roof. Ask whether targeted work remains practical and what evidence supports a full replacement recommendation.
What should I include when requesting an estimate?
Include the Surrey address, property type, the problem or planned work, the existing roof material if known and any previous repairs. Photos taken from a safe position and information about access or an active leak help the first conversation.
