Marks Roofing LTD recently completed a substantial roof replacement project on a house on St. Patricks Avenue in North Vancouver. The project involved tearing off 3,000 square feet of old roofing, replacing the plywood decking, and installing a new CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingle system. This undertaking underscores the critical need for thorough roof inspections and proper deck preparation, especially in coastal regions where moisture and weather conditions can compromise structural integrity.
“You can't just swap shingles and call it done,” said Sukhchain Singh, owner of Marks Roofing LTD. “We check the deck first, because that's what the new roof actually sits on.” This philosophy is central to the company's approach, as a soft or damaged deck can fail to hold fasteners securely, leading to premature roof failure regardless of the quality of the shingles installed. By addressing the deck condition, Marks Roofing ensures that the new roof system performs optimally and lasts longer.
The St. Patricks Avenue job is one of several roof replacements Marks Roofing has completed this year across North Vancouver and Greater Vancouver. This project highlights the ongoing demand for residential roof maintenance and replacement in the region, driven by the area's aging housing stock and the harsh coastal climate. Homeowners are increasingly recognizing the importance of proactive roof care to prevent costly structural damage and maintain property values.
