Roofing Guides for Fraser Valley Homeowners
These guides exist because most roofing advice on the internet is written to sell something, and almost none of it is written for this valley. We get over 1,500 mm of rain a year here, river fog sits in the low ground for weeks, and moss grows on the north slope of nearly every roof from Hope to Abbotsford.
So this is the stuff we explain on driveways every week. What actually wears a roof out here, what the manufacturer specification really says, what a fair price looks like, and which shortcuts cost people a second roof five years early. If you would rather not read any of it, call or text us and ask.
