Business Description
GoodVans Roofing is a roofing company in Vancouver that commercial and industrial property owners call when a flat or low-slope roof needs a system built for that kind of surface. Torch-on roofing, also known as modified bitumen or SBS roofing, is applied in layers that are heat-welded together, and it holds up well on the flat roofs common to warehouses, plazas, and multi-unit buildings where pooled water is a constant concern rather than an occasional one. As a torch-on roofing contractor in Vancouver, BC, GoodVans Roofing handles new installations as well as replacements on roofs that have reached the end of their service life. Before any torch is lit, crews inspect the deck underneath for soft spots or existing water damage, since a torch-on system installed over a compromised deck fails faster than the membrane itself would suggest. Once the deck is confirmed sound, the layers go down and are sealed at every seam, with extra attention paid to the transitions around vents, drains, parapet walls, and rooftop equipment, where leaks tend to start on flat roofs. Torch-on systems are typically installed in multiple plies, which gives the roof a thicker, more resilient surface than single-layer membranes and makes it a common choice for buildings that see regular rooftop traffic or heavy equipment. GoodVans Roofing selects the number of layers and the finish based on the building's traffic, drainage slope, and expected lifespan, rather than applying one standard spec to every job. Because this type of work often takes place on occupied commercial buildings, GoodVans Roofing plans around the property, not just the roof. Ground-level areas get protected with plywood and tarps, bin placement is worked out with the property manager ahead of time, and access points stay clear so the building can keep operating during the project. Crews use anchors, ropes, and harnesses while working at height. Torch-on cleanup is done with the same careful attention as torch-on installation. The old membrane, debris and packaging are hauled away, drains are cleared of any remaining material and the site is given a final sweep with a magnetic roller to pick up any loose fasteners or metal shavings before the crew leaves. Property owners weighing torch-on against other flat-roof systems, or dealing with a roof that has started to blister or pool water, can contact GoodVans Roofing to arrange an inspection and get a scope of work for the building.
