Last summer, I experienced firsthand what happens when small leaks go unaddressed. Picture this: a peaceful Sunday morning ruined by a sudden waterfall smack dab in the middle of my living room—indoors camping, anyone?
After an impromptu game of pot and pan orchestra to catch the deluge, I realized it was time to embrace the dreaded task that every homeowner fears: finding a reliable roofing company.
Luckily, the rest of the Waterview Vancouver team helped me sift through all the recommendations I received. So, if you’re in need of a roofing expert, here are all the roofing companies that made it onto our list of the very best in Vancouver.
How much do roofing repairs cost in Vancouver? Expect to spend at least $5 per square foot on roofing repairs in Vancouver. This price is just an estimate and will vary depending on the amount of repair work needed, the company you choose, and other factors. |

Customer Reviews
The job was completed efficiently
“We did our roof last year with Penfolds after our neighbours suggested the company. I start with the fact that our previous roof guaranteed 25 years was leaking big time after 15 and we needed to also replace some of the plywood. Penfolds manager did an estimate and was really pretty much correct. The job was completed efficiently and a year later no problems and it rained a lot. Our manager was Andrew Cameron. I wanted to thank Andrew Cameron specifically for always being there when I had questions. Maybe I had too many, I don’t know, but I felt he was very responsive and always very informative. Thank you!”
– Alexandra Marinets Google Review
Best roofing company I have ever used
Penfolds installed a new roof on my garage. Best roofing company I have ever used. From the initial estimate through the installation, they were all professional and true to their word. No bad surprises. The installers were extremely polite, worked efficiently and were careful not to damage plants surrounding the garage. They did an excellent job and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company to others.

Amazing! I have never felt more taken care of
“Darrell and his crew were wonderful to do business with. Darrell was always respectful and attentive to our questions. His crew worked hard, doing a fantastic job. They cleaned up afterwards so thoroughly, I have never been more impressed! There was one small issue noticed soon after the work was done. After telling Darrell about it, it felt like I had just finished typing the email when the whole crew arrived to take a look! Darrell was there soon after the repair was done to make sure all was good and that no nails were left behind when the bin was removed. Amazing! I have never felt more taken care of by a company before this. I highly recommend this company.”
– Lutine Bjornson Google Review
We are thoroughly pleased with the results
“From beginning to end, the entire experience was positive. Darrell’s initial consultation was thorough and informative; explaining the scope of work needed and providing a detailed and reasonable estimate.
A window of good weather allowed the crew to begin and the job was complete in under 3 days. The efficiency and hard work by the crew was remarkable – Sam and Stan arrived early and well-equipped. At the end of each day the work area was cleaned and organized. Darrell kept us informed at every stage of the project and stopped by the worksite daily. We are thoroughly pleased with the results. Our new Malarky asphalt roof not only looks great but also gives us peace of mind knowing that it was installed with precision and care. We highly recommend Millwall Roofing to any of our family, friends or neighbours.”

The job was completed within the anticipated timelines
“We had a good experience with Absolute. The assessment and supporting photos to document the planned repairs were very thorough and Greg was generous with his time to answer our questions and provide options for different ways to address our roof leak issue. The job was completed within the anticipated timelines and as per quote and Greg and his team were good to work with throughout. They cleaned the area after completing the job, helped out with some gutter repairs that were outside of scope and were generally a pleasure to work with. We will not hesitate to use them again in the future.”
– Carolyn Burley Google Review
For anyone who needs work on their roof done, I highly recommend Absolute Roof Solutions
“Though I was only employed by Absolute for a short time, I can attest to the quality of service customers get from Absolute. I was an apprentice assigned to David, one of the repair techs. David has over two decades of roofing experience, and is the most knowledgeable roofer I have met. More importantly, I have witnessed the level of attention David gives to each and every client he gets. From getting a quote out as quickly as possible, to ensuring the repair fixed the problem, David cares about the experience the client gets. For anyone who needs work on their roof done, I highly recommend Absolute Roof Solutions. As for anyone in the industry… I highly recommend seeking employment from Absolute Roof Solutions if you care about the quality of work you produce. If you put out good work, you will be recognized for it and advance very quickly.”

Max was professional and easy to communicate with
“Max was professional and easy to communicate with. We made a quick decision to replace our roof at the end of November, and Max made it happen. Randy, the project manager, and his team were very polite and responsive. They were happy to answer all our questions and help us fix some minor gutter issues. During the December snow storm, a small leaking happened on the unfinnished roof, Randy came at the first possible time the next morning and fixed it. Generally we are quite satisfied with the roof replacement. The price was reasonable as well. Everything was good except one thing: the garbage bin was not haulted away in time which made my wife not very happy.”
– Tony Tu Google Review
He was honest in explaining the pros and cons of the various options we had

His team were professionals; finished the job earlier than promised with high quality work. More importantly, Max has a great personality. It is clear that he cares about his customers. He was honest in explaining the pros and cons of the various options we had and did his best to provide a good value service to us. I highly recommend him. Thank you Max!”

Customer Reviews
Their communication with us throughout the job was fantastic
“Thanks Brian, Shane and Jeannette and the rest of the Cooper Roofing team! We asked them to replace our fascia on our roof that was starting to rot. A few delays to start the project due to weather and other jobs, but Brian updated us frequently about the progress of the materials and start date. The level of customer service from their office to the team working on the job was outsanding. For the job itself, Brian and his team finished in 2 days. His team even identified and repaired an issue with the flashing around our chimneys that was the cause of the rotting wood. Again, their communication with us throughout the job was fantastic. Once the repairs were completed, the invoice had before and after pictures, ensuring us the job was done well.Overall, it was a pleasure working Cooper Roofing from initial quote to completion. We highly recommend their services!”
The team came up with great solutions to make things right, and without impacting the budget
“I hired Cooper Roofing to replace my house roof (which was long overdue), gutters and chimney repointing. From start to finish, Sebastian, Harneet, Francisco and everyone on site were exceptional. As with most projects, we ran into some unexpected hurdles, but the team came up with great solutions to make things right, and without impacting the budget. Detailed photos were provided at the end of each day, going above and beyond for documenting the progress. The project team was transparent throughout the whole experience, and are as professional as they come. Great job!”

Customer Reviews
“John and Paul helped us redo the roof of our duplex and we are so happy with the results. They were communicative on site and as advertised, were very diligent in cleaning up at the end of each day. We really appreciated this attention to detail because our kids love crawling around on the ground and they John and Paul were sure to pick up any loose nails and debris. I’d definitely recommend them to family and friends!”
“This small company delivers great big service. The first person you talk to, is also the same person building the roof. So there are no mistakes or misunderstandings. There are also no middle-men, so prices are super competitive. Our roof required some fancy flashing, and a bit of solar venting. It was all done flawlessly. These guys are the best!”
