Roofing companies in Port Coquitlam
Port Coquitlam's roofs are a mix of 1960s and 70s homes around downtown and Mary Hill, 1980s subdivisions, and the 1990s houses of Citadel Heights on the slope above the river. Most are on asphalt shingles and many are at or past their second replacement window. The City's permit page says repairs to an existing building need a permit but never mentions roofing.

Local conditions
Second roofs on Mary Hill, first roofs in Citadel
Mary Hill's 1970s homes have simple roofs where plywood condition and ventilation are the usual surprises when the shingles come off. Citadel Heights houses from the 1990s are larger and more cut up, often with original cedar accents or full cedar roofs that are now due. Along the Pitt and Coquitlam rivers, flat, low-lying lots mean gutters and downspouts need to move water well away from foundations.
Port Coquitlam's permit page says building permits are required before you build, demolish, repair or alter most buildings, and lists repairing an existing building among permit work, without any roofing exemption or mention. The Building Division is the only place to get a clear answer for a like-for-like re-roof.
