Marks Roofing LTD has completed a significant roof replacement project on a house on St. Patricks Avenue in North Vancouver, covering 3,000 square feet. The project involved stripping the old roofing down to the deck, replacing the plywood decking, and installing new CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles. This job underscores a critical aspect of roofing in coastal regions: the condition of the deck is just as important as the shingles placed on top.
According to Sukhchain Singh, owner of Marks Roofing LTD, “You can't just swap shingles and call it done. We check the deck first, because that's what the new roof actually sits on.” This approach is vital because a soft or damaged deck cannot hold fasteners properly, no matter the quality of the shingles installed. The company's attention to deck integrity ensures the longevity and performance of the new roof system.
The St. Patricks Avenue project is one of several roof replacements Marks Roofing has undertaken this year across North Vancouver and Greater Vancouver. The company serves homeowners, strata properties, and commercial buildings throughout the region, offering a range of services including installation, replacement, repair, inspection, maintenance, skylight, gutter, and ventilation services. Their expertise covers asphalt, metal, flat, and cedar roof systems, all tailored to withstand British Columbia's coastal conditions.
This particular replacement highlights the importance of thorough roof inspections and the need to address underlying structural issues before applying new materials. By replacing the plywood decking, Marks Roofing ensured that the new CertainTeed Landmark shingles would have a solid foundation, extending the roof's lifespan and preventing future problems. Homeowners in coastal areas can benefit from this proactive approach, as moisture and humidity can accelerate deck deterioration.
Marks Roofing's commitment to quality workmanship is evident in their detailed process, from tear-off to final installation. Their focus on deck condition sets a standard for roof replacements, especially in regions where weather can be harsh. As the company continues to serve Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, their reputation for thoroughness and reliability grows, making them a trusted choice for roofing projects.
