Standing seam,
installed properly.

Factory-formed metal roofing installed by the same operation that produces the panels.

What we install

What we install.

It is the system we form, the system we specialise in, and the one worth the labour on a coastal roof. We also install exposed-fastener metal where the building suits it and the budget calls for it — ask and we will tell you honestly which one fits.

Standing seam

Concealed-fastener panels formed to your roof lengths.

Exposed fastener

A simpler, lower-cost metal system for the right building.

Trim & flashing

Eave, rake, ridge, valley and transition details as the roof requires.

New roofs & reroofs

New construction and reroofs, priced differently.

New construction

Working to a known deck.

The framing is new, the geometry is on paper and the sequence is planned around other trades. Panels can be formed to drawings before we are on site, and the roof goes on once.

  • Dimensions available up front
  • Scheduling around the build sequence
  • Fewer surprises underneath

Reroof

You find out what is under there.

Tear-off is where you find out what the last roofer did. Decking, ventilation and previous repairs all get assessed once the covering is off, and that can change scope.

  • Existing roof removed and the deck inspected
  • Deck or ventilation issues addressed before metal goes on
  • The one practical window to deal with insulation on an inaccessible assembly

Why that window matters →

Formed and installed

The panels come off our machine, not a counter.

A roofer who does not form their own metal orders it in and waits for it. We form it, which means panel lengths are decided by your roof rather than by what a supplier stocks — and if something needs re-running, the machine is in the building.

01

Project review.

We look at the roof, the access and what you are trying to achieve.

02

Scope confirmed.

Measurements, details and the work agreed in writing.

03

Material production.

Panels and trim formed for your job.

04

Installation.

Tear-off where needed, then the system goes on.

05

Final detailing.

Edges, penetrations and transitions finished off.

Details matter

A metal roof is judged at its edges.

The flat middle of a roof is the easy part. What separates a good standing seam job from a bad one is everywhere the plane stops.

  • Panel layout set out straight from the start, because a seam that wanders is permanent
  • Fasteners concealed beneath the seam rather than punched through the weather surface
  • Eave, rake and ridge details finished rather than covered up
  • Valleys and flashings formed to shed, not to fill
  • Penetrations and transitions detailed properly — the usual source of a leak

Service area

We install on the Island.
The metal travels further.

Our crew works across the Vancouver Island service area. Roof kits and contractor supply are not limited to that radius — those are a delivery question, not a crew one.

Installation

Vancouver Island, worked out of our Nanaimo shop. We would rather travel for the right project than draw a line on a map — if your building is further out, ask and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions

Before you book an estimate.

Yes. That is a large share of what a reroof is — the old covering comes off, the deck gets assessed, and a metal system goes on in its place.

Yes. Working from drawings on a new build is generally the cleanest version of this job, because the geometry is known before anything is formed.

Standing seam is our focus and what we form. We also install exposed-fastener metal where it suits the building. Ask about your project and we will tell you which makes sense rather than which we would rather sell.

Ask us. It depends on the profile, the system and what came with it — installing someone else’s material changes what we can stand behind, so it is a conversation rather than a yes or no.

We look at the roof, confirm the scope and put it in writing. Complexity drives the number more than area does — valleys, dormers and penetrations cost more than a simple gable of the same size.

The shop is in Nanaimo, and our crew installs across Vancouver Island from there. If your building is further out — up-Island, or on one of the Gulf Islands — ask. For some projects the honest answer is that we supply the metal rather than install it, and we will tell you so.

Yes. That is the other half of the business: DIY roof kits for owner-builders, and contractor supply for trades.
