Why Choose Red Maple for Asphalt Shingle Roofing?

Asphalt shingles are the most common roof on homes in Vancouver and the Tri-Cities, and for good reason: they are affordable, available in many colours and profiles, and perform well when installed properly. Most problems we see come from installation shortcuts, not the shingle itself.

We install architectural (laminated) shingles from major manufacturers such as Malarkey (we are a Malarkey Certified contractor), GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning and IKO, following each manufacturer's nailing pattern and underlayment requirements so the warranty stays valid. We will help you compare lines, colours and warranty terms.

Asphalt Shingle Repair

Not every damaged shingle roof needs replacing. Wind damage and isolated cracks can be repaired by replacing individual shingles, provided the rest of the roof is sound.

Replacing Cedar with Asphalt

Architectural asphalt is the most common replacement for aging cedar shakes. Some shake-style lines keep a similar look.

Our honest advice

We will recommend the shingle line that suits your home and budget, not the most expensive one by default.

FAQ

Asphalt Shingle Roofing: Frequently Asked Questions

Which asphalt shingles hold up best in Vancouver's rain?+
Architectural (laminated) shingles with algae-resistant granules and a high wind rating suit our wet coastal climate best. We install products from major manufacturers such as Malarkey, GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning and IKO.
Can new shingles be installed over my old roof?+
We do not recommend it. A full tear-off lets us inspect and repair the decking, install ice-and-water shield and new underlayment, and keeps your manufacturer warranty valid.
Can you replace a few damaged shingles instead of the whole roof?+
Yes. Wind-lifted, cracked or missing shingles can usually be replaced individually, as long as the rest of the roof is in good condition.
How do I know whether my roof needs a minor repair or a complete replacement?+
If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized (such as a few blown-off shingles or damaged pipe boots), a targeted repair is usually sufficient. However, if your roof is over 20 years old, experiencing widespread granule loss, curling across multiple slopes, or widespread leaks, replacement is more economical in the long run. We offer honest, no-pressure inspections to give you the exact truth.
Which areas of the Lower Mainland do you service?+
We service the entire Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley: Vancouver, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Burnaby, Surrey, New Westminster, Richmond, Delta, Langley, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and White Rock.
Do you require a deposit before starting work?+
No. Red Maple Roofing requires zero deposit upfront. You pay only when the work is complete and you are fully satisfied. This is our commitment to honest, quality craftsmanship.
What warranties do you offer?+
We provide a 15-year written workmanship guarantee on all installations, plus manufacturer material warranties of up to 50 years depending on the product selected. We are fully licensed, WorkSafeBC registered, and carry $2,000,000 commercial liability insurance.
