Roofing companies in Chilliwack
Chilliwack is the roofing hub of the eastern valley, with a deep bench of local roofers and some of the most searched roofing phrases in the region. The city mixes 1970s to 90s subdivisions in Sardis and Fairfield Island, hillside homes on Promontory and Little Mountain that take the full force of outflow winds, 2000s neighbourhoods like Garrison Crossing, and farm buildings across Rosedale, Yarrow and Greendale that mostly wear metal.

Local conditions
Wind, hillsides and farm roofs
The eastern Fraser Valley gets outflow winds in winter that the rest of the Lower Mainland doesn't, and roofs on Promontory, Ryder Lake and the slopes above Sardis take them head on. Brittle 20-year-old shingles with a failed sealant strip are what end up on the lawn. Ask roofers about high-wind nailing (six nails per shingle) and starter strips, and about metal if the roof is exposed.
Chilliwack's Building Regulation Bylaw doesn't apply to non-structural repair and maintenance of a house on a single-family lot, which is how a like-for-like re-roof is normally treated, but roofing isn't named anywhere, so the Building Division is the place to confirm. Strata and commercial roofs fall under the general permit requirement. On farms, metal roofing on barns and shops is a different market with its own suppliers; Fraser Valley Metal Rolling in Abbotsford supplies much of it.

Questions
Chilliwack roofing questions
How much does a new roof cost in Chilliwack?

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Chilliwack?
Chilliwack's Building Regulation Bylaw exempts non-structural repair and maintenance of a lawfully conforming house on a single-family lot, which is how a like-for-like re-roof would normally be treated, but the City does not name roofing anywhere. Anything structural, or on non-single-family property, needs a permit. Confirm with the Building Division (604-793-2905) before starting. Rules change, so confirm with the municipality before you start. Our Chilliwack roofing permit page has the details and the official link.
