Agassiz Roofers Who Know Hope Inside Out
Before Kory and Johnny Peters started DADS ROOFING in 2021, they spent years working as Red Seal certified boilermakers in the Alberta oil sands. That industrial background shows in every roof they install — precision fastening, airtight weatherproofing, and materials selected for real-world punishment, not sales brochures. When they came home to the Fraser Valley and chose Agassiz as headquarters, Hope became one of the first communities they served.
DADS ROOFING founder Kory Peters working on a winter roof installation in the Fraser Valley — Hope gets some of the heaviest snow in the region, and we work through it all.
Hope's geography is unmistakable. Perched at the eastern gateway of the Fraser Valley where Highway 1 meets the Coquihalla, the town sits inside a bowl formed by the Cascade Range, Skagit Range, and Coast Mountains. The Othello Tunnels draw tourists, but locals know the real drama is overhead — violent wind funnels, Cascade concrete snow piling on rooftops, and annual rainfall that dwarfs anything west of Chilliwack. A roofing contractor who treats Hope like just another Fraser Valley suburb will under-build your roof.
We do not. Every Hope estimate starts with a site visit that factors in your property's elevation, wind exposure, roof orientation, and access logistics. Our recommendations are specific to your home, not copied from a template. Talk to Kory or Johnny directly at (778) 539-6917.
Four Reasons Hope Roofing Demands More
Hope is the Fraser Valley's toughest roofing environment. Here is what we have learned solving problems in this town since 2021.
Convergence Wind — Five Corridors Collide
The Fraser Canyon, Coquihalla Highway corridor, Crowsnest (Highway 3), Skagit Valley, and Nicolum Valley all pour airflow into the same geographic basin. When opposing pressure systems collide over Hope, wind shear can reach 80-100+ km/h with gusts arriving from rapidly shifting directions. South-facing slopes along Flood Hope Road and the Thacker Mountain area absorb the worst punishment. Shingles installed to standard wind ratings — adequate in Chilliwack or Abbotsford — routinely fail here.
How we build for it: We increase fastener count to six nails per shingle on exposed faces, double-seal ridge caps and rake edges with high-tack roof cement, and specify shingles rated to 130 mph or higher. For properties on the worst wind corridors, we recommend mechanically locked standing seam metal — panels that cannot lift no matter the gust velocity. We have repaired the damage left by wind events and learned exactly where Hope homes are most vulnerable.
Cascade Concrete Snow Loads
Pacific moisture hitting the Cascades produces wet, dense snow locals call Cascade concrete — 15-20 lbs per cubic foot versus the 5-10 lbs of dry powder. A single foot of this snow on a standard Hope roof adds 3,000-6,000 lbs of dead weight. Older Hope homes built before current BC Building Code snow load requirements (2.4-3.5 kPa ground load, depending on elevation) may have undersized rafters that sag or crack under repeated winters.
How we build for it: Every Hope re-roofing project begins with a structural check of rafter dimensions, spans, and bearing points. If the framing is marginal, we recommend reinforcement before new shingles go on — spending $2,000-$5,000 upfront instead of risking a $20,000-$50,000 collapse later. We install ice-and-water shield at all eaves and valleys, and for chronic accumulation zones we offer heated valley cables or metal roofing with snow retention brackets to control release. Schedule a Hope snow load assessment at (778) 539-6917.
1,800 mm+ Annual Rainfall
Heavy moss infestation on every shingle joint with debris-clogged gutters — a common sight on Hope roofs during the wet season that signals the need for professional maintenance.
Hope receives roughly 40% more rain per year than Chilliwack and 30% more than Abbotsford. Atmospheric river events can dump 50-100 mm in 24 hours, flooding valley flashings, overwhelming undersized gutters, and finding every crack in aging sealant. The persistent moisture also feeds aggressive moss and algae colonies, particularly on north-facing slopes that never dry fully between storms.
How we build for it: We lay ice-and-water shield on every eave, valley, and penetration — well beyond code minimums. Valley systems get wider metal flashing with proper lapping to prevent overflow. Underlayment is synthetic, not paper felt. Gutter systems are sized to 6-inch trough with oversized downspouts for large catchment areas. We also offer annual maintenance visits — cleaning gutters, treating moss with zinc sulfate, re-sealing boots and flashings — that keep small problems from becoming major leaks. Call us for Hope waterproofing: (778) 539-6917.
Extreme Freeze-Thaw Thermal Cycling
Cold air draining from mountain passes can swing Hope temperatures from 15 degrees C to -8 degrees C in a single 24-hour period. During shoulder seasons, these freeze-thaw cycles repeat multiple times per week. Each cycle forces roofing materials to expand and contract, loosening fasteners, cracking brittle asphalt, breaking adhesive bonds between shingle tabs, and opening gaps at flashing interfaces where metal and shingle expand at different rates.
How we build for it: We spec materials with high thermal flexibility — SBS-modified asphalt shingles that bend instead of crack, standing seam panels on floating clip systems that slide without stressing fasteners, and synthetic underlayments engineered for sub-zero flexibility. Proper ridge and soffit ventilation keeps attic deck temperatures moderated, cutting the severity of each thermal swing. In Hope, cheap shingles age twice as fast. We recommend investing in the right material upfront. Discuss your options at (778) 539-6917.
Hope Roofing Services We Deliver Most
Three services Hope homeowners request most often — each refined by hands-on experience in this mountain environment.
Professional architectural asphalt shingle installation by DADS ROOFING in the Fraser Valley, featuring expert valley and ridge work against the mountain backdrop that Hope homeowners know well.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Concealed-fastener metal panels on floating clips handle every problem Hope throws at roofs. Snow slides off before loads get dangerous, wind cannot lift mechanically locked seams, and metal is immune to the moss that plagues shingle roofs in wet mountain climates. Lifespan: 50-70 years. We size, cut, and install to your specific roofline geometry.
Hope metal roof pricing: $16,000-$28,000 for typical homes. Get a quote: (778) 539-6917.
24/7 Emergency Storm Response
Windstorms rip shingles off at 2 AM. Heavy wet snow buckles carport roofs overnight. Hope weather does not wait for business hours and neither do we. Our Agassiz base puts us on-site in Hope within 60-90 minutes for emergency tarping, temporary weatherproofing, debris clearance, and damage documentation for insurance filings.

Mountain Access Property Roofing
Silver Lake Road, Kawkawa Lake Road, Flood Hope Road, private forest service roads — Hope has dozens of properties where narrow grades, steep driveways, and overhead power lines complicate material delivery. We plan logistics before we price. We own trucks that handle Hope mountain roads and coordinate staging to keep your project on schedule.

Common questions from Hope homeowners about roofing in mountain weather.
How does Hope's mountain weather affect my roof differently than lower Fraser Valley cities?
Hope sits where five mountain corridors converge — Fraser Canyon, Coquihalla Highway, Crowsnest Pass, Skagit Valley, and Nicolum Valley. This funnels wind gusts of 80-100+ km/h directly at rooftops, while annual precipitation exceeds 1,800 mm (roughly 40% more than Chilliwack). Add Cascade concrete wet snow at 15-20 lbs per cubic foot, and Hope roofs endure mechanical stresses most coastal roofers never see. We account for all of this with upgraded fastener schedules, wider valley flashing, and high-wind rated materials.
What roofing material lasts longest on a Hope BC home?
Standing seam metal roofing with concealed fasteners and thermal expansion clips is the top performer. It sheds Cascade concrete snow before dangerous loads accumulate, withstands sustained wind gusts, and is impervious to the moss and algae growth that Hope's moisture promotes. Properly installed metal roofs last 50-70 years in this climate. Premium architectural asphalt shingles are a more affordable option but expect 20-25 years versus 30 in milder areas. Call (778) 539-6917 for a recommendation tailored to your property.
