Marks Roofing LTD recently completed a significant roof replacement project on a house on St. Patricks Avenue in North Vancouver. The project involved tearing off the old roofing, replacing the plywood decking, and installing a new CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingle system over a 3,000 square foot area.
The company emphasizes that in coastal regions, the condition of the roof deck is as critical as the shingles installed on top. A soft or damaged deck fails to hold fasteners securely, which can compromise the integrity of the entire roofing system. Therefore, the crew inspected and replaced the decking before laying the new shingles.
"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."
The St. Patricks Avenue job is one of several roof replacements the company has completed this year across North Vancouver and Greater Vancouver. Marks Roofing LTD serves homeowners, strata properties, and commercial buildings across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. The company works with asphalt, metal, flat, and cedar roof systems and provides installation, replacement, repair, inspection, maintenance, skylight, gutter, and ventilation services suited to British Columbia's coastal conditions.
Proper roof installation is vital for protecting homes from the region's heavy rainfall and moisture. By focusing on the deck's structural soundness, Marks Roofing ensures that the new roof will perform effectively and have a longer lifespan. This project underscores the company's commitment to quality and longevity in roofing solutions.
