Roofing Contractor in Revelstoke, BC

Revelstoke receives some of the highest annual snowfall of any city in Canada — regularly exceeding 10 to 15 metres per season. That weight, combined with the freeze-thaw cycles that hit in shoulder seasons, creates roofing conditions that don’t exist in most of the Okanagan.

A roof installed without the right preparation for Revelstoke’s environment will fail early. The issues we see most often on Revelstoke homes are:

Ice damming — when heat escapes through a poorly ventilated attic, it melts snow at the ridge. That water runs down and refreezes at the cold eaves, forcing moisture under shingles and into the structure. By the time it shows up as a water stain inside your home, damage is already done to the decking and insulation.

Shingle blow-off at the ridge and edges — high-elevation wind exposure combined with freeze-thaw loosening of seal strips causes premature shingle failure on roofs not installed with proper fastening patterns and starter strips.

Decking rot from sustained moisture — flat or low-pitch sections that collect standing snow are prone to long-term moisture infiltration if the underlayment and flashing aren’t installed correctly at every transition point.

We address all of these at the installation stage — not as a patch job after problems appear.
