Q: What are the signs I need a full roof replacement rather than a repair?

Signs that a full roof replacement may be more cost-effective than continued repairs include: the roof is 20–25+ years old; more than 25–30% of the shingles are damaged, missing, or severely worn; there is widespread granule loss; the deck shows signs of rot or structural weakness; or repair costs would exceed 50% of a replacement quote. Millwall Roofing can assess your roof and give an honest recommendation — free of charge.

When Do You Need a Full Roof Replacement?

Not every roofing issue requires a full replacement — but continuing to repair an aging roof can cost more in the long run than replacing it. Here are the key signs that a full reroof is the right call:

Your roof is 20–25+ years old
More than 25% of shingles are damaged, missing, or severely worn
Widespread granule loss leaving smooth, dark patches
Multiple leaks in different areas of the roof
Sagging or soft spots in the roof deck
Repair costs are approaching 50%+ of replacement cost
The roof has been repaired multiple times in recent years

Roof Replacement Material Options

Millwall Roofing installs all major residential roofing materials. Here's what to consider for each option.

Asphalt Shingle Replacement

Asphalt shingles are the most popular choice for Vancouver roof replacements — offering the best balance of cost, durability, and visual appeal. Millwall installs premium Malarkey shingles, engineered specifically for Pacific Northwest conditions with enhanced wind and moisture resistance.

Most cost-effective residential roofing option
Wide range of colours and profiles
20–35 year lifespan (30+ years with Malarkey premium)
Quick installation — most homes completed in 1–2 days
Compatible with most roof pitches and styles

Cedar Shake Replacement

Cedar shake roofing gives Vancouver homes a natural, heritage aesthetic that's hard to match. Properly installed and maintained, cedar shakes can last 20–30 years and provide excellent natural insulation. Millwall's team has deep expertise with cedar — including treated options for improved fire and mould resistance.

Natural Western Red Cedar and treated shake options
Beautiful, natural appearance suits heritage and character homes
Natural insulation properties
Requires ongoing maintenance to maximise lifespan
Higher cost than asphalt but longer character value
