Local conditions
Village roofs and farm metal
The village homes of Agassiz are a mix of 1950s to 80s houses on simple roofs and newer builds, straightforward re-roofs for any Chilliwack roofer. The farms are a metal market: standing seam and screw-down panels on barns, shops and dairy buildings, often supplied cut to length from the valley's metal rollers and installed by crews that do mostly agricultural work. Kent's position between the river and Mount Cheam means a bit more snow and some outflow wind.
The District of Kent's Guide for the Homeowner lists roofing repair or replacement under work that doesn't require a permit, with the usual reminder that it must still conform to the Building Code. Altering or structurally repairing the building needs a permit, and the District publishes an asbestos guide relevant to removing older roofing.
