Re-Roofing & Remediation Vancouver
Re-roofing installs a fresh layer of shingles or membrane directly over your existing roof, extending its life by 15 to 20+ years without the cost, mess, or landfill waste of a full tear-off. It’s the right fit when your roof deck is sound, and only the surface is wearing out. Most Vancouver re-roofs are complete in 1 to 3 days.
What is Re-roofing?
Re-roofing gives your home, business, or strata building a second life by layering new shingles over the existing ones, provided the roof deck underneath is still structurally sound. It’s one of the fastest, most budget-friendly ways to stop a leak-prone or worn-out roof from becoming a bigger problem, without the cost and disruption of tearing the old roof off first.
At All Star Roofing, we start with an honest, on-site assessment. We’ll tell you plainly whether your roof is a good candidate for re-roofing or whether a full replacement makes more sense for residential homes, commercial buildings, and strata properties alike. Sometimes a full re-roof is the right call; other times a partial repair brings your roof back to standard for a
fraction of the cost.
Benefits of Re-Roofing Your Vancouver Property
• Eliminates hidden or visible leaks in your current roof
• Refreshes your property with new colours, patterns, and styles
• Increases the resale and rental value of your home or building
• Protects your family, tenants, or employees with an updated roofing system
• Costs less and takes less time than a full tear-off replacement
• Keeps old shingles out of the landfill when re-roofing is the right fit
Re-Roofing or Roof Replacement In Vancouver?
Re-roofing works best when your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan but is still in reasonably good shape: minor leaks, some wear, but no major water damage, heavy moss growth, or missing shingles. If you’ve kept up with regular roof maintenance, you’re a strong candidate.
If your roof is approaching the 15- to 20-year mark, it’s worth having it inspected even if it still looks fine. Building codes, materials, and manufacturer warranties change over time, and a re-roof brings your property up to current standards. When damage is widespread rather than isolated to one section, a full re-roof gives a more uniform, longer-lasting result than a partial patch.

Re-Roofing & Remediation
In some cases, yes. Repairing instead of replacing keeps extra shingles out of landfills and saves you time and money. That said, if your roof is in poor condition or more than 20 years old, a re-roof is usually the safer long-term call. We’ll always give you an honest, transparent assessment.
When there are major issues with your roof, it’s important to consider reroofing as it will ensure your property is safe for your family and employees. Minor leaks can usually be fixed with a simple repair, however, without having to spend the money on a re-roof. It will also save you money long-term and increase the value of your property.
Yes, in some cases this is possible, but can only be done over asphalt shingles. Laying a roof over existing shingles adds to its protection and increases durability.
Neglecting to replace your roof could have a variety of consequences. Short term, you risk leaks, water damage and a whole host of other minor problems. Long-term, you risk health problems, collapse, deterioration and costly repairs that go far beyond reroofing.
When you have significant damage only on one section of your roof, we recommend having a reroofing performed. When the damage isn’t significant, it’s not necessary.
While we work year-round, sometimes extreme temperatures can affect the performance of the materials we work with. Spring is the mildest time of year and isn’t too busy.
