Who does torch-on and flat roofing in Coquitlam?
Pro Torch Roofing is a family-run flat roofing contractor that has installed 2-ply SBS torch-on membrane roofs in Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities for 25 years. Based in Burnaby, about 20 minutes along Lougheed Highway, the company carries $5 million in liability insurance covering hot-work roofing and provides free on-roof inspections with written estimates for Coquitlam homes, townhome and condo strata, and commercial buildings.
How much does a flat roof cost in Coquitlam?
A 2-ply torch-on roof in Coquitlam 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. Homes on Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau may need heavier snow-load detailing at drains and scuppers. A properly installed system lasts 25 to 30 years.
Why Coquitlam roofs see more snow and more rain
Coquitlam climbs from the Fraser River to over 500 metres on Burke Mountain, and the upper neighbourhoods get noticeably more snow and rain than Burnaby or Vancouver. Flat and low-slope roofs there carry snow that melts slowly, refreezes at drains, and tests every lap and flashing. Lower Coquitlam has a large stock of 1980s and 90s townhome stratas with flat sections, parapets and skylights that are reaching the end of their first roof. The 2-ply torch-on system handles both: a reinforced base and cap sheet heat-welded into one continuous membrane, with drains and scuppers detailed so meltwater always has a path off the roof.

Coquitlam roofing questions
Can a flat roof handle the snow on Burke Mountain?
Yes, when it is built for it. The deck must be structurally rated for the load, drains and scuppers need to be detailed so meltwater keeps moving, and the membrane must be fully welded so refreezing cannot open a seam. We check all three during the free inspection.
How long does a torch-on roof last in Coquitlam?
A 2-ply torch-on roof lasts 25 to 30 years in Coquitlam when drains are kept clear and the roof is inspected every few years, including after heavy snow winters.
Do you work with Coquitlam strata councils?
Yes. We provide scope documents for council approval, phased scheduling so residents stay in their units, and photo records suitable for depreciation reports.
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.
