Nobody is standing under the ceiling when it starts
This is the real difference between a roof at the lake and a roof in town, and it has nothing to do with the roof itself. In a house somebody lives in, a leak announces itself. Someone sees the stain, hears the drip, notices the smell, and picks up the phone that week.
A cabin that sits empty from October to May does not get that. The same small failure runs unseen through the whole wet season, and what would have been a repair becomes a deck, insulation and ceiling job by the time anybody opens the door in spring. The roof did not fail worse. It just failed unobserved.
So the useful thing we can do for a seasonal place is look at it while you are not there. We go up, photograph it, and send you the photos. If it is fine, you have that in writing and you can stop wondering about it. If it is not, you find out in October rather than in May.
What the lake does to a roof
Tree cover, all year
The canopy here is dense and it drops needles and branches constantly. Debris collects in the valleys and behind the chimney, holds water in exactly the wrong places, and stops the roof draining the way it was designed to.
Shade and moss
A roof under trees never fully dries. Moss takes hold on the shaded slopes and holds moisture against the shingle. It can be cleared without damaging the shingles and treated to slow the regrowth, but in this spot it does come back.
Snow load up the lake
There is more snow here than on the valley floor, and wet Pacific snow is heavy. On an older cabin the framing was often never sized for a heavy roof, so what is underneath matters as much as what goes on top.
Lindell Beach and the lakefront
We work both. The buildings vary enormously, from proper year round homes to cabins that have been added to over decades, and they do not all want the same roof.

Cultus Lake roofing questions
Do you come out to Cultus Lake and Lindell Beach?
Yes. Both are inside our regular service area and we are based in Chilliwack, so it is a short run. Call or text 604-728-0146 and we will arrange a time. The inspection is free.
I am only at the cabin in summer. Can you look at it without me there?
That is most of the reason this page exists. We can inspect the roof while you are away and send you the photos, so you are looking at the actual condition rather than wondering. If something needs doing you get a written quote with what is included and what is not, and you can decide from wherever you are.
Why does my cabin roof grow so much more moss than my house in town?
Tree cover and shade. Under a heavy canopy a roof never fully dries, and needles and debris sit in the valleys holding water exactly where you least want it. Moss can be cleared without damaging the shingles and the roof treated afterwards to slow the regrowth, but in this spot it will come back eventually. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling something.
Is snow actually a problem at the lake?
More than on the valley floor. It sits higher and gets more of it, and wet Pacific snow is heavy. On older cabins the framing was often not built for a heavy roof in the first place, which is worth establishing before anyone puts a heavier material on top of it. We look at what is underneath, not just what is on top.
What does an inspection cost?
Nothing, the same as everywhere else we work. Johnny gets on the roof, photographs what he finds, and you get the photos whether you hire us or not. If the honest answer is that the roof is fine for now, we will say so.
