Torch-On Roofing Installation and Repair
Torch-On Roofing for Flat and Low-Slope Roofs
Torch-on roofing is a roofing system designed for flat and low-slope roofs. It is made by bonding two layers of modified bitumen, and the layers are sealed by melting the adjacent sides with a torch. Since the installation requires an open-flame propane torch, it gets such a name. It is sometimes referred to as torch down roofing.
Torch-on roofing comes with a number of benefits. Since it is made of bitumen, the roof stays highly waterproof, and rain, snow and ice stay out. The bituminous layers are only about 4 mm thick, which makes a torch-on roof lightweight and puts little extra load on the building structure. These roofs are also durable, with a typical lifespan of around 20 years, and they are UV-resistant and can handle temperature changes. If your flat roof is leaking or worn out, see our roof replacement and roof repair services, or call (778) 788-0420 for a free estimate.

What Our Clients Say About Akay Roofing
Posted on Google Farscape CanadaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely prompt response and service, thank you!Posted on Google bill aTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Only good things to say! Quote was quick and very competitive. No delays in getting started. Always came when they said they would. Work and material quality was top notch. Anil was always on top of things making sure everything was just right. Cleanup was careful. Clearly they know their business and the crew just got on with it regardless of any little surprises that presented after the old roof was off. No hesitation in recommending Akay..Posted on Google clive rushTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After 30 years our cedar shake roof finally needed replacement. This was the first time we faced this problem and were nervous about getting a good job, a good contractor, and at a reasonable price. As a retired project engineer, I was used to the normal bidding process for suppliers and contractors. Asphalt shingles were the obvious choice; cedar shakes are now prohibitively expensive and not nearly so high quality as our original shakes.. We chose approximately 8-9 contractors close to our home in Tsawwassen to submit bids. Some came to our house with presentations and some relied on a Google Maps satellite app and submitted their bid by email. For our 2600 sq ft two storey home (area very approximate, includes garage), the bids ranged from $16,500 to $42,000!! It seemed that all the companies that made in-home presentations were the high bids. Almost all the bids included Iko and/or Malarkey and/or GAF brand shingles, all major brands, so the big differences between bids were not likely due to the shingles. After eliminating the highest bids (that used the same brands and models of asphalt shingles), we looked at completed jobs around Surrey and Delta and talked to several owners, then narrowed the field further, and ended up choosing Akay Roofing. We chose Malarkey Vista Black Oak shingles. We were very impressed with their work ethic, their disciplined, professional approach to the work, their workmanship, and their neatness. They used tarpaulins around the whole house and swept up every night so we wouldn't track old rotting cedar bits into the house. They were very easy to deal with - we feel that we got excellent work and very good value - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Thank you!Posted on Google Karan KambojTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had our skylight cracked and was leaking. We provided Akay roofing some photos and got quote instantly. Anil and his team came the next day with new skylight and replaced it. Thanks Akay for your quick service. Much appreciatedPosted on Google Vladimir VukovicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to Akay Roofing through a roofing supplier and after contacting them, the owner Anil came out the following day and gave me a quote for re-roofing project on a house that I recently purchased. He was very professional and provided me a quote the same day. We quickly agreed on the terms and conditions and he was able to schedule me in the following week. Once the work started Anil and his crew were very organized and finished the job to my satisfaction. They cleaned up the work area and I was very happy with the final result. I will certainly refer them in the future.Posted on Google Tatyana GundarevaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Akay was the only one out of many companies I contacted for a quote who promptly got back to me almost right away. He came as agreed to inspect my roof and took some photos to show what the issues were. He was punctual to arrive on time and did the job as agreed. He is very pleasant and friendly. I would highly recommend him!Posted on Google Cheryl RutledgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a sunday emergency, Anil was fast, efficient, and friendly! Would highly recommend and we would use him again.Posted on Google Parteek KumarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
