An Edgewater roofer for homes and cabins
Edgewater sits on a bench above the Columbia River wetlands, just north of Radium, with tall trees around most homes and wind that funnels up the valley. That combination is behind most of the calls we get here: shingles torn off after a windstorm, trees and branches through the roof, metal roof screws working loose and soffit bent by the wind. Many Edgewater homes and cabins have 15- to 20-year-old shingles, some still have cedar shakes, and many owners are only here on weekends, so damage can sit for a while before anyone sees it.
Most of our Edgewater work is storm and insurance repairs, roof replacements in shingles or metal, metal roof tune-ups, soffit and fascia that keep bats out, and eavestroughs. Every job starts with a hands-on inspection, and you get the photos and a written, line-by-line quote.

Strata and resort roofing in Edgewater
We have worked on many cabins inside Edgewater’s resort and strata communities, from blown-off shingles and eroded valleys to full roof replacements, soffit replacements and eavestroughs. For strata councils and property managers, we keep one point of contact, give a written scope and price for each cabin or building, take photos before and after, and document storm damage on every unit for the insurance adjuster. More about our strata roofing.
Cabin and strata re-roofs
Multi-unitCabins and buildings re-roofed one at a time, with a written scope the council can approve and photos of every stage.
Storm damage across a resort
After a windstorm, we inspect and document every affected unit for the adjuster, then schedule repairs.
Clubhouses & shared buildings
Roof, soffit and fascia repairs on shared buildings, scheduled around owners and guests.
Shingle roofing for valley wind and snow
Edgewater roofs take wind up the valley, snow, freeze-thaw and strong summer sun, under trees that drop branches and needles. Shingles that have lost their seal are the first to go in a windstorm. In the Columbia Valley, asphalt shingles usually need replacing at around 15 years. An inspection tells you exactly where yours stands. When we replace a roof, we strip to the deck and install a complete system: ice and water protection at the eaves and valleys, sealed starter strips and high-wind nailing, balanced ventilation, new flashings and Class A fire-rated shingles. How our roof replacements work.
Malarkey Emerald Pro™ certified contractor
Emerald Pro is Malarkey’s highest contractor certification. Our installers follow the manufacturer’s full system, which is what makes enhanced warranty coverage possible on eligible Edgewater roofs.
Architectural shingles
Most popularA heavier, dimensional shingle with a higher wind rating than old three-tab roofs.
Impact-rated shingles
A tougher shingle that resists hail and falling debris and may qualify for an insurance discount. Ask your insurer.
Designer shingles
Shake-look profiles for cabins moving off cedar.
Our 10-Year Labour Warranty comes with every Edgewater roof, and select shingle lines carry manufacturer warranties of up to 50 years.
Fire-resistant
Metal roofing in Edgewater
A lot of Edgewater owners ask about moving from shingles or cedar to metal. A steel roof is fire-resistant, with a Class A fire rating, stands up to wind, sheds snow and lasts decades, which suits a cabin you are not at every week. We install standing seam and 26-gauge steel panel roofs, and we service older metal roofs: tightening and replacing screws, new washers, re-strapping fascia, re-sealing seams and fixing flashing after a storm. Metal costs more up front, so we price metal and shingles side by side. More about metal roofing.

Fire-resistant siding in Edgewater
Edgewater homes are surrounded by trees, so non-combustible siding is a smart upgrade. James Hardie fibre cement will not catch fire from embers and holds its colour for years. We also install metal siding, repair siding damaged by storms or woodpeckers, and often do the siding with a new roof so the whole exterior is finished at once. Every siding job goes over fresh house wrap, with windows, doors and corners flashed first. Compare our siding options.
James Hardie fibre cement
Fire-resistantNon-combustible and dimensionally stable, so it stands up to wind, embers and sun, and holds its factory colour for years. Comes in lap, board-and-batten and shingle looks.
Metal siding
Durable, non-combustible steel panels for garages, accent walls and modern mountain exteriors, and an easy match for a metal roof.
Vinyl
Lower cost and low maintenance, and a quick way to refresh a rental or cabin in a new colour.
Seamless
Eavestroughs, soffit and fascia in Edgewater
We are a full exterior company, not only a roofer. We install seamless eavestroughs and downspouts, replace soffit and fascia, and repair troughs that sag, leak or have been torn off by wind or falling branches. Old wood soffit with gaps is a common way for bats to get into Edgewater attics, so we cover or replace it with metal soffit and fascia that closes those gaps for good.

What goes into an Edgewater roof replacement
An Edgewater roof has to handle wind, falling branches, snow and summer sun. These are the four places we spend extra time on every roof here.
01
A solid deck under everything
After tear-off we check every sheet of decking and replace anything soft, rotted or cracked, which is common where a tree or branch has hit the roof.
02
Ice and water protection
Membrane along the eaves, in every valley and around chimneys and skylights keeps meltwater from backing up under the roof when ice builds up at the edge.
03
Flashing around chimneys & vents
Chimneys, valleys and plumbing vents are where most leaks start. Snow that sits between a chimney and the roof erodes valleys over time, so on a roof replacement we re-flash chimneys and replace vents and boots instead of reusing old parts.
04
Wind-rated edges and ventilation
Sealed starter strips, high-wind nailing and properly fastened ridge caps hold the roof together when wind comes up the valley. Balanced ventilation keeps the deck cold under snow so ice does not build at the eaves.
How an Edgewater roof replacement works
From the first inspection to the check-up a year later, this is what an Edgewater roof replacement looks like. If you are only here on weekends, we send photos at every stage. Once materials arrive, most homes are finished in a few days.
Every Edgewater quote starts with a hands-on inspection of the roof, chimneys and vents. Our team includes a HAAG® and IICRC® certified inspector, which matters when wind or tree damage goes through insurance.
- 01

We check the roof covering, flashings, chimneys, vents and roof ventilation, and send you photos of anything that needs attention, even if you are not in town.
- 02
A written quote
Materials, scope and timeline laid out line by line. For strata and commercial properties, each building can be priced separately.

Walkthrough & one-year visit
We walk the finished roof with you, or send you the photos, then come back the next year to check it after its first full winter.
Roof problems we see most in Edgewater
Wind damage and blow-offs
Wind up the valley takes off shingles that have lost their seal. After a storm we document the damage with photos for you and your adjuster.
Trees through the roof
When a tree or big branch comes down, we secure the roof, then repair the deck, shingles and eavestroughs once the claim is approved.
Loose metal roof screws
On older metal roofs, screws back out and fascia loosens in the wind. Tightening, new screws and re-strapping stop leaks.
Eroded valleys at chimneys
Snow that sits between a chimney and the roof wears out the valley and flashing. We rebuild and re-flash them.
Bats in the soffit
Gaps in old wood soffit and fascia let bats into the attic. Metal soffit and fascia close them up.
Ageing shingles and cedar
Roofs from the early 2000s and older cedar shakes are reaching the end of their life. We replace them with shingles or metal.
Asphalt & metal
Roof repair and tune-ups in Edgewater
Not every roof needs replacing. If yours has wind or tree damage, a leak, blown-off shingles, an eroded valley or loose metal fasteners, we repair it, whether the roof is asphalt or metal, through insurance or not. When water is coming in, tell us when you call so we can get to you as quickly as possible. A spring or fall tune-up catches small problems before they reach the deck, and we send photos if you are away.

Real questions from Edgewater property owners
Each of these is based on a real request from an Edgewater-area property owner. We have removed names and addresses.
“A large tree fell on the roof and it looks like both slopes are affected. Can you quote it for the insurer?”
Yes. We inspect, document the damage with photos and a written scope for the adjuster, and replace the roof once the claim is approved.
Roof replacement →“It seems recent winds have taken some shingles off our cabin roof.”
We replace the missing shingles, check the rest of the roof for lifted tabs and send you photos if you are not here.
Roof repair →“Bats are getting into my attic. The soffit and fascia are natural wood and gaps have opened up over time.”
We cover or replace the wood with metal soffit and fascia that closes the gaps, and check the roof edge while we are up there.
Soffit & fascia →“Our shingles are about 18 years old and we are thinking about metal. We are only there on weekends.”
We quote standing seam, steel panel and shingles side by side, and can run the job while you are away with photos at every stage.
