When it comes to roofing the Greater Vancouver environment is probably the most diverse as you can get. You get three types of roofing companies in the lower mainland and metro Vancouver.
The first is the high end roofing company. Most really aren't though. They are normally about 20% more then average price. They are really good at pressure sales and have a way of trying to convince you that all 411 roofing companies in Vancouver are criminals and they are the only good guys. It is very common for these roofing companies to get there shingles packaged with there logo put on. They throw a lifetime warranty on a 40 year shingle. They can do this for so many reasons that I should save it for another time. The benefit of going with these roofing company is that unless they aren't selling a faulty product they will probably be around for while. The down fall is that you getting ripped off.
The second is the regular roofer and his crew. They drive around in their truck changing one roof at a time. The benefit of this purchase is you get it at an incredible price. The downfall is that your warranty is probably useless. Unless this roofing crew is actually
getting your roof registered with a certificate you are running a gamble.
The majority of the companies are your regular local roofing company with several roofing crews. The truth is that we all know each others prices and what it costs to do your roof. We all want your business. So 70% of the time you will know who is being honest. This is why it is always recommended to get three estimates. Benefit is that most of these companies have been around for a while and probably be around in the future. Doing the job right is a priority for most. The downfall for many of these companies to change there prices according to demand. The summer time in Vancouver can be a busy time for roofing and the prices going up is a common practise for some. Most time you can tell what kind of roofing contractor you have at your door by having a conversation with him or her
