Standing Seam Metal Roof Replacement in Kimberley, BC

A steep, complex mountain-home roof with more than 20 roof planes. Our crew replaced it with a new charcoal standing seam metal roof and an engineered snow retention system.

The project

The home. A wood-sided mountain home set among the trees in Kimberley, with a steep, cut-up roofline: more than 20 roof planes, long valleys, dormers and a masonry chimney.

The challenge. Steep 8/12 and 10/12 pitches and a roofline this cut up leave no easy sections. On a roof this complex, every valley, wall and chimney detail has to be planned before the first panel goes up.

What we did. We took the roof down to the deck, installed new underlayment, and put on new 2-inch snap-lock standing seam steel panels in charcoal, with the fasteners hidden under the seams. Valleys, walls and the chimney were all re-flashed, and the homeowners asked for an engineered snow retention system sized for Kimberley’s snow loads, which we added during the install.

Seeing it through. On a job like this, the finishing work matters as much as the panels. We stayed with it until the roof and the details around it were complete.

Up close

A roof with this many planes is only as good as its details. Here’s a closer look at the panels, seams and smaller roof sections.

Why standing seam steel in the mountains?

Standing seam steel sheds snow, shrugs off wind and won’t crack or curl in deep cold. With the fasteners hidden under the seams, there are no exposed screws to loosen over time. Paired with engineered snow retention, it protects walkways, decks and eavestroughs from sliding snow.
