Who does torch-on and flat roofing in Burnaby?
Pro Torch Roofing is a family-run flat roofing contractor headquartered at 7060 Waltham Ave in South Burnaby, with 25 years installing 2-ply SBS torch-on membrane roofs across the city. The company carries $5 million in liability insurance covering hot-work roofing and provides free on-roof inspections with written estimates for Burnaby homes, townhome and condo strata, and commercial buildings.
How much does a flat roof cost in Burnaby?
A 2-ply torch-on roof in Burnaby costs $10 to $20 per square foot installed in 2026, so a 1,500 sq ft flat roof runs $15,000 to $30,000. Overlays on a dry deck sit at the low end; tear-offs with new insulation, tapered drainage and many penetrations sit at the high end. Large strata and warehouse roofs are priced lower per square foot because of scale. A properly installed system lasts 25 to 30 years.
Why Burnaby roofs are our home turf
Burnaby has one of the densest mixes of flat-roofed buildings in Metro Vancouver: 1970s and 80s low-rise stratas around Metrotown and Edmonds, industrial and warehouse roofs in Big Bend and Lake City, and newer townhome complexes in Brentwood and Burnaby Heights. Because our shop is in the city, crews, materials and follow-up service are minutes away rather than across a bridge. We know the inspection requirements Burnaby property managers work with and document every job for depreciation reports.

Burnaby roofing questions
How long does a torch-on roof last in Burnaby?
A 2-ply torch-on roof lasts 25 to 30 years in Burnaby when drains are kept clear and the roof is inspected every few years. Most of the roofs we replace in the city are single-ply or 20-plus-year-old torch-on systems that were never maintained.
Do you work with Burnaby strata councils and property managers?
Yes. A large share of our Burnaby work is strata re-roofing. We provide scope documents for council approval, phased scheduling so residents stay in their units, and photo records suitable for depreciation reports.
Can you re-roof a warehouse while it stays open?
Yes. Commercial flat roofs are sectioned so the building stays watertight and operational each night, with fire watch maintained on every torch-on section.
Is Pro Torch Roofing insured for torch-on work?
Yes. We carry $5 million in liability insurance that specifically covers hot-work roofing, with fire watch and extinguishers on every roof.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. We inspect the roof in person, explain what we find, and provide a written estimate with no obligation. Form submissions are called back within two business hours.
