Roof Tear-Off

Roof tear-off is the process of completely removing old roofing materials down to the roof deck before installing a new system. It allows full inspection and repair of underlying structures. In Vancouver, tear-offs are often recommended due to moisture damage and hidden deterioration. This method ensures the highest quality and longest-lasting roofing installation.
