Built for strata density

Richmond has more strata roofs than almost anywhere in the region

Townhouse complexes, low-rise apartments and mixed-use buildings make up an enormous share of Richmond's roof area, and nearly all of it is flat or low-slope. Those roofs are on a service cycle whether anyone is tracking it or not.

What makes a strata re-roof different from a house is not the membrane, it is the decision-making. A council needs to justify the spend to owners, coordinate access, and often line the work up against a depreciation report. That takes documentation, and most contractors treat documentation as an afterthought.

So we start with the site visit and an itemised estimate that separates what needs doing this year from what can wait. If the roof has three more good years, we will tell you, and you can plan the levy properly instead of rushing it. Where a council needs a formal condition report to put in front of owners, we produce one as a paid piece of work.

What we cover

Commercial, strata and industrial roofing

Three different kinds of building, three different sets of constraints. The membrane is the easy part.

01

Strata and multi-unit buildings

Townhouse complexes, low-rise apartments and mixed-use buildings. We work to the council's process, not around it: a site visit and a clear written estimate first, scope and staging agreed before anything comes off, and access arrangements that residents are told about in advance.

  • Itemised estimates councils can circulate
  • Staged work to limit disruption
  • WCB coverage for multi-unit access
  • Detailed condition reports available as a paid service
02

Flat and low-slope roof systems

Most Richmond commercial roofs are flat, and flat roofs fail at the details rather than in the field. We install and replace torch-on SBS systems in 2-ply and 3-ply builds, plus built-up membranes, and we spend the site visit on the drains, seams, curbs and parapet flashings where the water actually gets in.

  • Torch-on SBS 2-ply systems
  • Torch-on SBS 3-ply systems
  • Built-up and modified bitumen
  • Drain, curb and parapet detailing
03

Industrial and light commercial

Warehouses, shops, light industrial units and the mixed commercial stock around Bridgeport and the riverfront. Large uninterrupted decks, rooftop mechanical units and the ponding problems that come with both.

  • Large-deck membrane replacement
  • Rooftop mechanical and curb flashing
  • Ponding and drainage correction
  • Phased work around operating hours

Paperwork that holds up

On a commercial roof, the paperwork is half the job

A homeowner can decide on a roof over a coffee. A strata council or a property manager cannot. They need something in writing that explains the condition of the roof, what failed, what it will cost and what happens if it waits another year.

The free estimate gives you an itemised scope and a clear line between urgent and deferrable, with no vague numbers and no allowances that quietly balloon halfway through the job. When you need more than that, a full condition report with photographs and a remaining-life assessment is available as a separate paid service.

The same honesty rule applies as everywhere else we work. If your building does not need a new roof yet, we will tell you that, and roughly when to look at it again.

Free commercial site visit and estimate

No cost and no obligation. Someone comes out, assesses the roof and gives you a written estimate for the work we recommend. Formal condition reports for councils and property managers are available as a separate paid service.

Commercial questions

What councils and property managers ask us

Regularly. The free site visit gives councils an itemised estimate and a plain description of what needs doing now versus what can reasonably wait, in a form you can circulate to owners or hand to a property manager. If you need a formal condition report with photographs and a remaining-life assessment for a depreciation report or an AGM, we produce those as a separate paid service. We are also happy to attend a council meeting to walk through the scope before anyone votes on it.

Torch-on SBS in 2-ply and 3-ply builds, and built-up modified bitumen. Which one is right depends on the deck, the slope, the rooftop equipment and how long you intend to hold the building. We will explain the trade-offs rather than defaulting to whichever system we happen to have on the truck.

Yes. The free site visit and estimate apply to commercial, strata and industrial buildings the same as they do to houses. Someone comes out, assesses the roof properly and gives you a written estimate for any work we recommend, at no cost and no obligation. A detailed written condition report, with photographs and a remaining-life assessment, is a separate paid service.

In most cases, yes. Commercial and industrial work can usually be phased or scheduled outside operating hours so you are not shutting down. We agree the staging with you before the job starts, and we will tell you honestly if a section genuinely cannot be worked around.

It depends on the deck area, the system and access. A small strata building might be a week; a large industrial deck considerably longer. What we commit to is a written timeline before we start and notice as soon as anything changes, which on a multi-unit building matters more than the raw number of days.

Fully licensed, fully insured and WCB covered, with documentation available up front. For multi-unit and commercial access that paperwork is usually the first thing a property manager asks for, so we have it ready rather than chasing it after the fact.
