Roofing in Blaine

Why roofs near the water need a different approach.

A roof a few blocks from the bay ages differently than one inland. We plan the materials and details around that.

Salt airSalt speeds up corrosion on exposed nails, vents and flashing. We use corrosion-resistant flashing and fasteners where the home faces the water.
Wind off the bayHomes on Semiahmoo, along Drayton Harbor and around Birch Bay catch steady wind and storms. Shingles get the full high-wind nailing pattern and sealed starter strips.
Cold winter windsWinter outflow winds from the Fraser Valley hit the border area first. Edges, ridges and flashing need to be tight to hold up.

Blaine homes

From year-round homes to vacation cabins.

Blaine and Birch Bay have a mix of year-round homes, older beach cabins and newer houses. Older roofs often have layers of patched roofing or tired flashing. We take the roof to the deck, fix what we find, and give you a watertight system.

Newer homes around Birch Bay and Semiahmoo are reaching the age where builder-grade shingles and original flashing start to fail. A full GAF system with corrosion-resistant details is built to last in that exposure.

Shingle roof replacement by Topside Roofing & Siding

What's included

Every Topside roof replacement includes:

Full tear-off to the deck

No roofing over old roofing. We remove everything so the deck can be checked.

Decking repair

Soft or rotted plywood is replaced before the new roof goes on.

Underlayment and leak barrier

Synthetic underlayment, plus ice and water leak barrier in valleys and at eaves.

New flashing

Walls, chimneys, skylights and vents get new flashing, not reused metal.

Ventilation check

Ridge and intake venting sized so the attic can dry out in our damp months.

Cleanup and walkthrough

Magnet sweep for nails, all debris hauled away, and a final review with you.
