Who does torch-on and flat roofing in West Vancouver?
Pro Torch Roofing is a family-run flat roofing contractor that has installed 2-ply SBS torch-on membrane roofs in West Vancouver for 25 years, including projects in the British Properties, Ambleside, Dundarave, Caulfeild, Whytecliff and on Bowen Island. The company carries $5 million in liability insurance covering hot-work roofing and provides free on-roof inspections with written estimates.
How much does a flat roof cost in West Vancouver?
A 2-ply torch-on roof in West 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. West Vancouver homes often land mid-to-high in that range because of complex rooflines, slope access and custom sheet-metal detailing where flat sections meet pitched ones. A properly installed system lasts 25 to 30 years.
Why West Vancouver roofs are different
Homes built into the slopes above Marine Drive catch heavy wind off Howe Sound, sit under mature tree cover that drops debris year-round, and frequently have architectural flat and low-slope sections that need a membrane specialist. The leaks we repair most often in West Vancouver come from wind-lifted flashing on exposed lots, moss and organic build-up trapping moisture, and failed transitions between flat and pitched roof sections.

West Vancouver roofing questions
How long does a torch-on roof last in West Vancouver?
A 2-ply torch-on roof lasts 25 to 30 years in West Vancouver when drains are kept clear of needles and leaves. Under heavy tree cover, an annual drain and debris check is the single biggest factor in reaching that lifespan.
Can you replace cedar shakes with metal or torch-on?
Yes. Pitched sections are typically converted to standing-seam or ribbed metal; flat and low-slope sections get 2-ply torch-on. Both systems are installed by the same crew so the transitions are detailed correctly.
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.
Do you inspect steep or hard-to-reach West Vancouver roofs?
Yes. Our owner holds a Transport Canada Advanced RPA Pilot Certificate, so steep, high or heavily treed roofs are documented by drone before anyone walks them.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. We inspect the roof in person, explain what we find in plain language, and document the scope in writing before any payment.
