Most homeowners don’t think about their roof until something goes wrong. When that time comes, knowing who to call and what to expect makes a significant difference. At Ridge Meadows Roofing, we’ve been completing residential reroofs across the Fraser Valley since 2001, covering shingle installations, reroofing, full roof replacements, and cedar shake conversions. Our own crew handles every job. No subcontractors, no down payments required.
We understand that letting someone work on your home requires trust. Every project we take on is completed by our own trained crew, with the owner onsite from start to finish. We take the time to walk through the scope of work with you before anything begins, so you know exactly what to expect and what you’re paying for.
When a home needs a new roof, the material choice matters as much as the installation itself. We specialize in fibreglass laminated shingles, a durable option that holds up well against the wet, variable climate of the Lower Mainland. These shingles resist moisture, wind, and UV exposure, come in a range of colours and profiles, and typically last between 20 and 30 years when properly installed.
We walk through every project with you before work begins, covering material options, timeline, and cost. As a CertainTeed Master Shingle Applicator, we’re certified to back our installations with a lifetime/50-year transferable shingle warranty. Most installations are completed within a few days.
Signs it may be time for a new shingle installation:
Reroofing is what most Lower Mainland homeowners need when their current roof has run its course. The process involves a full tear-off of the existing material, inspection of the decking underneath, and installation of new shingles on a clean, solid base.
If you’re unsure whether your roof can be repaired or needs a full reroof, we can assess the condition of the decking, flashing, and existing shingles and give you a straightforward answer. Our goal is to help you make the right call, not upsell you on work you don’t need.
There’s a difference between a roof that needs attention and one that needs to be replaced. Wear and tear from the Lower Mainland’s wet seasons, combined with the natural lifespan of roofing materials, means that at some point, patching and maintaining a roof stops being practical. A proper replacement addresses the underlying structure as well as the surface, ensuring the new roof starts on a solid footing.
Common indicators that a replacement is the right move include sagging areas, widespread shingle deterioration, repeated leaks in multiple locations, or a roof approaching or past the 25-year mark. Moss growth and significant granule loss are also worth taking seriously. Left unaddressed, these issues tend to accelerate.
We complete replacement projects within a timeframe confirmed upfront, with no unexpected additions to the scope or cost. If something comes up with the decking once the old roof is removed, we discuss it with you before any additional work is done.
Cedar shake roofs were a common choice for homes built in the Lower Mainland decades ago. They have a distinctive look, but they come with real maintenance demands. Over time, cedar shakes are prone to splitting, rot, and moss buildup, and they carry a higher fire risk than modern shingle materials. Many homeowners with cedar roofs find themselves making repairs more and more frequently until the cost of upkeep no longer makes sense.
A cedar shake conversion replaces the existing cedar with fibreglass laminated shingles, addressing all of those concerns while preserving the visual character of the home. The result is better fire resistance, improved insulation, and a long-term maintenance picture that’s much simpler. We offer shingle profiles that complement the existing architecture, so the finished roof suits the home rather than clashing with it.
Most cedar conversions are completed within a week depending on the size of the roof. If you’re not sure whether your cedar roof still has useful life left, we can take a look and give you an honest assessment.
