What’s the best roofing material for Abbotsford?
Here are the most popular options we install locally:
Architectural Asphalt Shingles: Durable, affordable, and available with added moss/algae protection. Great for most neighborhoods.
Metal Roofing: Perfect for homes that want maximum water shedding, especially in rural or wooded areas like Sumas Mountain.
Synthetic Slate or Rubber Shingles: Increasingly popular for eco-conscious homeowners. Resilient, beautiful, and long-lasting.
Cedar Shake (with treatment): Classic BC look, but requires annual maintenance to handle moisture.
Our team walks you through performance ratings, curb appeal, and cost so you can make a decision that lasts, especially through 200+ rainy days a year.
Do Abbotsford roofs need extra ventilation?
Yes, and it’s a factor many roofers outside the region don’t understand well. Our wet winters combined with warm summers can trap condensation under the roof deck, especially if soffits and ridge vents aren’t balanced properly. We always assess attic airflow during installations and can upgrade insulation or venting as part of the project.
