Serving the Regional District of Nanaimo
Roofing in a District with a building department of its own
Nanaimo Roofers roofs the Lantzville lowlands and the acreage lots above, 4 kilometres north of Nanaimo. Lantzville is its own District with its own building department, so we check the Lantzville permit answer for your address before we book.
A different authority, four kilometres on
The District does exempt one kind of small outbuilding, and our permits guide has the wording. If yours might qualify, we check it against the bylaw before we quote.
Tree cover is the local variable
Acreage lots here carry mature Douglas fir, and a roof under fir cover stays shaded and slow to dry between rains. That means moss. A mat of it at the edge of a course lifts the tab above it. We clear moss off as part of regular maintenance before it gets that far.
Long roofs, simple roofs
The rural building stock here tends toward long single-plane roofs rather than cut-up ones. With fewer valleys and penetrations there is less to fail, and the price sits closer to the bottom of the per-square-foot range.
When you're ready to get it done, ask us for a free quote and we'll walk the roof with you before anything is decided.
