• How much does a new roof cost in Courtenay?

  +

  A new roof in Courtenay typically costs $8,000 to $20,000 for asphalt shingles and $18,000 to $45,000 or more for metal, depending on the roof's size, pitch, number of layers to remove, and material.

• Do you need a permit to replace a roof in BC?

  +

  A like-for-like re-roof — replacing shingles with shingles — usually does not need a building permit in BC. A permit is generally required when the material changes, the roof structure or sheathing is altered, the slope changes, or skylights are added. The City of Courtenay confirms what a specific project needs.

• How long does a roof last on the coast?

  +

  On the wet Comox Valley coast, asphalt shingles last about 15 to 30 years, metal roofs 40 to 70, and cedar 25 to 50 — though moss and poor ventilation can cut a shingle roof's life short well before that.

• What are the signs I need a new roof?

  +

  Curling, cracked, or missing shingles, granules in the gutters, daylight or stains in the attic, sagging, and heavy moss all point to a roof near the end of its life. An inspection confirms whether it's a repair or a replacement.

• Is metal roofing worth it in the Comox Valley?

  +

  For many coastal homes, yes — metal roofing lasts 40 to 70 years, sheds rain and resists moss far better than shingles, and often outlives two or three shingle roofs, though it costs more upfront.

• How much does roof repair cost?

  +

  Most roof repairs in the Courtenay area run $300 to $1,500 for leaks, flashing, and shingle fixes, with larger structural or storm repairs $1,500 to $4,000 or more. Catching a leak early keeps it in the cheaper range.

• Why does moss keep coming back on my roof?

  +

  The Comox Valley's damp, shaded conditions grow moss fast, especially on north-facing asphalt roofs. Moss lifts and holds moisture against shingles, so treating it and improving airflow protects the roof, but a heavily overgrown roof is often already near replacement.

• What areas do you serve?

  +

  Courtenay Roofers serves Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, and Royston, plus Union Bay, Merville, Black Creek, and Fanny Bay across the Comox Valley Regional District.
