Who does torch-on and flat roofing in North Vancouver?
Pro Torch Roofing is a family-run flat roofing contractor that has installed 2-ply SBS torch-on membrane roofs on the North Shore for 25 years. Based in Burnaby, roughly 25 minutes from Lonsdale, the company carries $5 million in liability insurance covering hot-work roofing and provides free on-roof inspections with written estimates for North Vancouver homes, strata and commercial buildings.
How much does a flat roof cost in North Vancouver?
A 2-ply torch-on roof in North Vancouver 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. A properly installed system lasts 25 to 30 years.
Why North Vancouver roofs work harder
North Vancouver receives some of the highest rainfall in Metro Vancouver, well above Vancouver's roughly 1,150 mm a year, with mountain runoff, dense tree canopy and long wet winters. A roof that would last comfortably in Richmond can start leaking years earlier on the North Shore. The 2-ply torch-on system answers this with a reinforced base sheet and cap sheet heat-welded into one continuous membrane with no open seams for driving rain to exploit.

North Vancouver roofing questions
What are the signs a North Vancouver roof needs attention?
Water stains on ceilings after heavy rain, standing water on a flat roof more than 48 hours after rainfall, blistering or cracking in the membrane, heavy moss on north-facing slopes, and lifted flashing around skylights, chimneys and vents. Caught early, most of these are repairs rather than replacements.
How long does a torch-on roof last in North Vancouver?
A 2-ply torch-on roof lasts 25 to 30 years on the North Shore when drains are kept clear of needles and leaves and the roof is inspected every few years.
Can a torch-on roof be installed in a North Vancouver winter?
Yes, on dry days above about 5°C. The deck must be dry, so winter jobs are scheduled around the forecast and tarped between work days.
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.
