Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Do you have business insurance? HOT
Yes, we do! We have a $2M commercial general liability insurance with Intact Insurance.
Are you registered with WorkSafe BC? HOT

Do offer you a service warranty? HOT
Absolutely! You can consult our service warranty terms here.
Is my cedar roof service warranty transferable after sale?
Yes, it is! Our service warranty is applicable to the property and transferable to the new owners.
How often do I have to restore my cedar roof? HOT
We recommend you restore your cedar roof on average every 5 years. That entails cedar roof cleaning, repair and treatment. We recommend a shorter period in locations with more extreme conditions.
What is the life span of cedar roofs?
According the “Cedar Shingles and Shakes Bureau”, the average life span of cedar roofs is approximately 30-40 years.
What if my roof is too old and deteriorated? HOT
We provide honest feedback and recommend that you get your house re-roofed. It is too risky to restore a very deteriorated roof.
Can pressure washing damage my cedar roof? HOT
We use low pressure washers and proper techniques to avoid damaging your cedar roof. A regular (high) pressure washer and improper use could potentially damage your cedar roof.
What kind of repairs do you do?
Repairing a cedar roof typically involves replacing broken, damaged or missing pieces, re-nailing loose ones, re-aligning misaligned ones and using metal shims between pieces to prevent water leaks.
Do you replace every single shake, shingle or ridge cap?
No, we don’t. There is no need to replace every single piece, only the damaged or missing ones. We use our experience and our discretion to determine what needs to be repaired.
What is shimming and how does it work?
Shimming is the insertion of aluminum or stainless steel thin metal strips (about 3″x8″) under shingles, shakes or ridge caps to prevent water leaks between them while maintaining proper ventilation.
Is cedar roof treatment toxic or harmful? HOT
No, it’s not. We use oil-based cedar roof treatment that is eco-friendly and not harmful to plants or building materials.
Can I hire you for specific or partial services only?
Yes, you can. However, we don’t usually provide individual services, so it’s case by case.
Can you replace my entire cedar roof?
Unfortunately, we cannot at the moment. However, we can refer you to contractors.
Do you outsource work to third parties? HOT
No, we don’t outsource any work! We complete all our mandates with our own crews.

Our client testimonials
Our Cedar Roofs is a trusted organization. Their service is great and we rely on them for all our roofing needs.
Can't say enough about the exemplary, professional work Our Cedar Roofs performed restoring my 30 year old roof. Environmentally friendly and cost efficient. Communication and follow through was prompt.
I'm super stoked with my experience with OCR! [...] They got on the roof and flew drones and took high res photos and videos of my roof and shared them all with me [...]. They also provided an estimate within 10 minutes, and scheduled us in 3 days later, and completed the work in 2 days.[...] Thanks a bunch and we're definitely telling our friends and family.
I am very happy with the restoration Our Cedar Roofs did on our roof! I haven't seen it this clean in 10 years!! Communication was excellent, they updated us all the time and repaired all the missing pieces. Our roof looks so nice and like new now! My family and I strongly recommend this company!
Our Cedar Roofs exceeded my expectations with their roof restoration services. The initial inspection showed their commitment to a tailored and personalized approach. The team was very professional and skillfully cleaned every bit of years of dirt. [...] Throughout the process, our communication was clear and they met the deadline promptly. [...]
We just had our roof cleaned and restored, the team did an amazing job with the work and cleanup! I highly recommend these guys if you want the job done right!
