In West Vancouver, Absolute Roof Solutions recently completed the replacement of an aging cedar shingle roof that had reached the end of its life. The original roof was heavily discoloured, covered in moss, and showing signs of serious decay. For the property owners, it wasn’t just about improving curb appeal—it was about protecting their investment and ensuring their property was secure against our coastal climate.

Architectural shingles replaced cedar shakes

The project covered 4,500 square feet, including both sloped and flat sections. Given the size and complexity of the roof, choosing the right material was essential. After consulting with our team, CertainTeed Landmark “TL” Ultimate architectural shingles in the elegant Country Gray finish were selected. These shingles are tri-laminated, giving them a triple-thick profile that replicates the rich texture and dimensional look of natural wood shakes—without the constant upkeep or vulnerability to moss, rot, and weathering.

Better appearance, performance

The new roof not only enhances the home’s appearance but also provides superior durability and weather resistance. CertainTeed’s Landmark “TL” Ultimate shingles are engineered to withstand high winds and harsh conditions, making them an ideal choice for West Vancouver’s rainy winters and stormy coastal weather. Their layered construction adds both strength and style, giving the home a striking roofline that complements its character.
