Why Choose Red Maple for Flat Roof Repair & Torch-On Roofing?

Flat and low-slope sections are common on Vancouver Specials, additions, carports and modern homes across Metro Vancouver. Asphalt shingles are not designed for very low slopes, so these areas need a membrane. Two-ply SBS modified bitumen torch-on is the system we install: a base sheet plus a granulated cap sheet heat-welded together into one continuous waterproof layer.

Most flat roof leaks we see start at the edges and penetrations (drains, scuppers, vent pipes, wall flashings) or where water ponds. A good repair fixes the detail that failed and, where possible, the drainage that caused it.

Torch-On Roof Repair

Small splits, open seams and failed flashings on an otherwise sound membrane can often be repaired with new torch-on material welded over the area, rather than replacing the whole roof.

Residential Flat Roof Replacement

When the membrane is brittle, blistered across large areas or has been patched many times, replacement with a new two-ply system is usually the better long-term choice.

Flat Roof Leak Repair

We trace flat roof leaks to the failed detail, which is often a drain, scupper or wall flashing, and repair that point properly.

Our honest advice

If a repair will buy you several good years, we will quote the repair first.

FAQ

Flat Roof Repair & Torch-On Roofing: Frequently Asked Questions

What is torch-on roofing?+
Torch-on, or SBS modified bitumen, is a two-ply membrane system where a cap sheet is heat-welded to a base sheet. It creates a seamless waterproof surface that suits flat and low-slope roofs in our rainy climate.
How long does a torch-on flat roof last?+
A properly installed two-ply SBS system commonly lasts 20 to 25 years or more, depending on drainage, foot traffic and maintenance.
Why does water pond on my flat roof?+
Ponding usually comes from a sagging deck, blocked drains or scuppers, or not enough slope. We check the substrate and drainage before installing a new membrane so the problem does not come back.
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.
