Replacement
Roof replacement in Duncan and the Cowichan Valley
Replacement is the right ask when the roof has failed as a system. Duncan's snow load is only the city's row, not the valley's.
Replace a roof when repair has become a way of postponing the obvious: the field of shingles is done, the sheathing is soft, or the shakes have reached the end. Keep repairing when the failure is one detail and the rest of the slope is sound. The diagram is that split and nothing more. There is no dollar figure on it because this site does not sell the work.
Symptoms on the left stay a repair. Symptoms on the right need a fuller look.A teaching sketch of an edge. It is not the detail for any one valley house.
Which hall receives a permit, if one is required, depends on the lot: City, North Cowichan, the Town of Lake Cowichan, the Town of Ladysmith, or the regional district. The office page sorts those desks. It still does not declare that a simple re-roof needs a permit, because that point was left for a recheck.
