Who does flat and torch-on roofing in Sechelt?
Pro Torch Roofing is a flat and low-slope roofing contractor — torch-on and SBS membrane is the whole trade, not a service line. 25 years, more than 850 roofs, $5 million in hot-work liability insurance. Sechelt sits about forty minutes up Highway 101 from the Langdale terminal, and we schedule Coast work in planned blocks so the crew, the membrane and the equipment come over together and stay until the roof is finished. Every estimate includes a free drone roof assessment.
What salt air does to a Sechelt roof
Homes along Davis Bay, Selma Park and the Sechelt waterfront take weather from two directions — rain off the Strait and salt carried in on the wind. Salt is harder on metal than most owners expect: fasteners corrode, cap flashings pit, and drain assemblies rust from the inside out years before the membrane itself is finished. That is why we fabricate our own flashings and specify the metal for the exposure rather than adapting a stock profile. It is also why a roof here should be inspected annually, not when something starts dripping.
What a flat roof costs in Sechelt
$10 to $20 per square foot installed for a 2-ply torch-on system, quoted at the same rate as our Lower Mainland work — no ferry premium. A 1,500 sq ft flat roof runs roughly $15,000 to $30,000. The spread comes down to whether the old system is torn off, what condition the deck is in underneath, whether fall to the drains has to be rebuilt, and how much corroded metal needs replacing. On waterfront properties the metalwork is usually the line item that moves the number.
Asphalt shingles and metal roofing in Sechelt
We install pitched roofing in Sechelt as well — asphalt shingles and metal — and near the water the specification matters more than it does inland. Salt shortens the life of exposed fasteners and thin coatings, so on a Davis Bay or waterfront property a concealed-fastener standing seam with a proper coating system will outlast an exposed-fastener panel by years. Architectural shingles hold up better than 3-tab in the wind that comes off the Strait, and algae-resistant shingles are worth the small premium on shaded north slopes. As with any roof here, the flashings and transitions decide the result — including the low-slope sections where a pitched roof runs into a deck or a flat entry.

Sechelt roofing questions
Water sits on my roof for days after it rains. Is that normal?
No. A healthy flat roof clears standing water within about 48 hours. Longer than that means the fall was never adequate, the deck has deflected, or the drains are blocked or set too high. Standing water is heavy — 25mm across a 100 square metre roof is roughly 2,500 kilograms — and it accelerates membrane breakdown and grows moss. It is worth correcting rather than living with.
How often should a Sechelt flat roof be inspected?
Once a year, and again after any severe storm. September is the practical month here: clear the drains and scuppers, check the flashings and penetrations, and deal with anything small before the winter rain arrives. Waterfront properties should have the metalwork checked at the same time.
Can you fix a leak without replacing the whole roof?
Very often, yes. Most flat roof leaks start at a detail rather than in the open membrane — a lap, a drain, a wall flashing, a skylight curb, a vent penetration. We trace the source and repair the cause. If a repair is not the honest answer we will say so and show you why.
Do you work with Sunshine Coast strata councils?
Yes. We provide drone documentation and written condition reports a council can put in front of owners, scope documents for approval, and phased scheduling so residents stay in their units. Our commercial work includes roof programs at the Hyatt Regency and Sylvia Hotel in Vancouver and the Kingfisher Oceanside Resort on Vancouver Island — all completed while the buildings stayed open.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. We fly the roof with a drone where the site allows it, walk it if it is safe to, and give you photographs and a written summary with no obligation — including when the answer is that the roof has years left in it.
