Residential Roofing
Island Roofers is a Vancouver Island, Canada-based roofing company specializing in residential roof installations and replacements. We install architectural asphalt, standing seam metal and cedar roof systems on character homes, modern builds and waterfront properties from Victoria to Campbell River — all engineered for our wet, wind-driven West Coast climate.
A roof system, not just a product.
- Architectural asphalt, metal and cedar systems
- Manufacturer-certified installation crews
- Full tear-off, deck repair and high-performance underlayment
- Lifetime non-prorated material warranties available
Built for coastal weather
Heavy rainfall, salt-laden wind and shifting cedar branches put real stress on a roof. We specify ice-and-water shield at every penetration, fully ventilated assemblies, and high-wind starter and ridge systems so your home stays dry in every storm.
A clean, respectful job site
We protect landscaping with tarps, sweep with magnetic rollers daily, and haul every scrap of old material off site. Your neighbours will not know we were there.
Transparent, fixed-price quotes
You receive a detailed written estimate with materials, scope, timeline and warranty before a single shingle is ordered. No surprise change orders.

Residential Roofing questions, answered.
How long does a residential roof replacement take?+
Most single-family homes on Vancouver Island are completed in 2 – 4 working days, weather permitting. Larger or steeper roofs and homes with significant deck repair can take up to a week.
How much does a new roof cost on Vancouver Island?+
As of 2026, architectural asphalt roofs typically range from $9,000 – $22,000 for an average Island home, and standing seam metal roofs range from $25,000 – $55,000. The final price depends on roof size, pitch, accessibility and the material you choose. We provide a fixed written quote at no cost.
What is the best roofing material for Vancouver Island's wet climate?+
For most homes we recommend either an enhanced architectural asphalt system (best value, 30 – 50 year life) or 24-gauge standing seam metal (best longevity, 50+ year life). Both, properly installed with full ice-and-water shield and balanced ventilation, handle our rainfall and wind exceptionally well.
Do you offer warranties?+
Yes. Every residential roof includes our workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer's material warranty — up to lifetime, non-prorated coverage on enhanced systems. Warranties are registered in your name.
Are you licensed and insured?+
Yes. Island Roofers carries WorkSafeBC coverage, $5,000,000 commercial general liability insurance and a current municipal business licence. We provide proof of coverage with every quote.
