Who does torch-on roofing in Vancouver, BC?
Pro Torch Roofing is a family-run flat roofing contractor that has installed 2-ply SBS torch-on membrane roofs across Vancouver for 25 years. Based 20 minutes away in Burnaby, the company carries $5 million in liability insurance covering hot-work roofing and provides free on-roof inspections and written estimates for Vancouver homes, duplexes, strata buildings and low-rise commercial properties.
How much does a flat roof replacement cost in Vancouver?
A 2-ply torch-on roof in Vancouver costs $10 to $20 per square foot installed in 2026, so a typical 1,500 sq ft flat roof runs $15,000 to $30,000. Simple 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 Vancouver roofs fail
Vancouver receives roughly 1,150 mm of rain a year, most of it between October and March. That sustained wet season finds every weak point. The three most common causes of the leaks we repair in Vancouver are torch-on membrane past its 25-year service life, flashing that was never sealed correctly around skylights and chimneys, and flat roofs with blocked drains that let water pond.

Vancouver roofing questions
How long does a torch-on roof last in Vancouver?
A 2-ply torch-on roof lasts 25 to 30 years in Vancouver when drains are kept clear and the roof is inspected every few years. Single-ply installs and neglected drains cut that lifespan sharply.
How fast can you come out for a leak in Vancouver?
Usually within the same week. Our crew is based in Burnaby, 20 to 30 minutes from most Vancouver addresses, and form submissions are called back within two business hours.
Is Pro Torch Roofing insured for torch-on work?
Yes. We carry $5 million in liability insurance that specifically covers hot-work roofing, and every crew works with fire watch and extinguishers on the roof.
Is the roof estimate really free?
Yes. We inspect the roof in person, explain what we find in plain language, and provide a written estimate with no obligation. Any roofer who quotes a firm price over the phone without seeing the roof is guessing.
Do you work on strata and commercial buildings in Vancouver?
Yes. We re-roof strata townhomes, low-rise apartment buildings and commercial flat roofs, and work directly with property managers on scheduling and documentation. See our strata and commercial roofing page.
