Replacing Asphalt Shingle and Torch-On Roofing Systems Before Winter

3363 West 37th Avenue, Vancouver, BC V6N 2V5

In this case study, we showcase how Vantage Roofing Ltd replaced Sung’s asphalt shingle and torch-on roofs to protect her home before winter.

Project Context

Sung contacted Vantage Roofing Ltd with a clear goal: replace her existing asphalt shingle and torch-on roofing systems to protect her home from potential water ingress. The work involved removing and disposing of the old materials, installing a new Malarkey Vista Asphalt shingle system, and completing a two-ply torch-on roof replacement. Additional upgrades included re-flashing the chimney and skylights, installing all-new attic vents, premium lead plumbing flashings, goose necks, and diverters, as well as reinforcing all roof protrusions with peel-and-stick underlayment.

The Challenge

The opportunity was to complete the roof replacement before any winter storms could cause water damage. Timing was critical—delays could have led to costly repairs and compromised the home’s safety.

Why The Client Chose Us?

Sung chose Vantage Roofing Ltd because of our reputation for quality work, a detailed roof replacement plan, and a fair, transparent price. She valued our ability to handle the entire project from removal to final cleanup, with clear communication and a strong workmanship warranty.

How We Responded?

Our team quickly scheduled and executed the project, removing all old roofing materials and installing the new systems with precision. For the torch-on roof, we applied IKO Armourbond 180 Self-Adhering Base Sheet as the first ply, followed by Torchflex™ TP-250-Cap as the second. We also installed 26-gauge flashing around the perimeter for extra durability. To protect Sung’s property, we used groundsheets, a disposal bin for large debris, and performed a final sweep to ensure the area was spotless. The entire project was completed on time and within budget, backed by our 10-year workmanship warranty.

The Results?

Sung now has a high-quality, durable roofing system that will protect her Vancouver home for years to come. The upgrade not only improves the home’s appearance but also gives Sung peace of mind knowing her roof is winter-ready and backed by a solid warranty.
