Factories & Plants – Commercial & Industrial

If you run a factory or plant in Vancouver, you already know — the roof isn’t just something you look at from the parking lot. It’s the barrier between your operations and the unpredictable West Coast weather. If it breaks down, everything within is in danger, from delicate machines to the goods that are ready to be transported.
At GoodVans Roofing, we’ve spent years working on factory roofs and plant roofs across Metro Vancouver. We know the unique challenges that come with commercial roofing and industrial roofing for large-scale facilities. These aren’t small storefronts; they’re massive buildings with complex needs, and they deserve a roof that can keep up.
Why Factory & Plant Roofing Needs a Different Approach
If you’ve ever walked the roof of a plant, you’ve seen it — giant HVAC units humming away, vents releasing steam, and sometimes even cranes or tracks for rooftop equipment. You don’t get that in an average office building.
Factory roofs and plant roofs deal with:
- Constant vibration from heavy machinery below.
- Exposure to chemicals, dust, and industrial byproducts.
- Large surface areas where even a small leak can turn into a big repair bill.
- Vancouver’s wet winters and damp springs can speed up wear and tear.
That’s why our Vancouver roofers don’t just “install a roof.” We design a system that works for your building, your operations, and your long-term costs.
Materials That Mean Business
Choosing the wrong roof for an industrial facility is like putting cheap tires on a semi-truck — it’s just not going to last.
We work with materials proven to handle tough conditions:
- Metal Roofing Systems – Excellent for large spaces, low maintenance, and can last 40+ years.
- Torch-On Membranes – Perfect for flat or low-slope Vancouver roofs, giving you a waterproof seal that stands up to heavy rain.
- Reinforced Roof Structures – For factories and plants with rooftop equipment or areas that require extra load-bearing strength.
Every job starts with a site visit, not just a quote over the phone. We walk your roof, check the drainage, look at wear patterns, and factor in everything from insulation needs to access points for maintenance crews.
Built for Vancouver Weather
Anyone who’s lived in Vancouver for more than a year knows — it rains a lot. The kind of steady, soaking rain that finds the smallest crack and turns it into a problem. Add in cold snaps, summer heatwaves, and the occasional snowstorm, and your roof takes a beating all year round.
We’ve installed and repaired factory roofs and plant roofs through all seasons, so we know what holds up and what fails. That’s why we choose materials and designs that work for our climate, not just the cheapest option on the market.
Keeping Your Operations Running
When we’re working on a live site, we know that every hour counts. If your production line has to stop because of us, you’re losing money — sometimes a lot of it.
That’s why we:
- Schedule work around your low-production hours when possible.
- Set up clear work zones to keep employees and equipment safe.
- Communicate daily so you always know where we’re working and what’s next.
The goal is simple — upgrade or repair your roof without slowing down your business.
More Than Just Installation
A roof is an investment. Protecting it with regular maintenance is the smartest way to make it last.
We offer service plans that include:
- Seasonal inspections after the heavy rains or snow.
- Clearing drains and gutters so water doesn’t pool.
- Fixing small issues before they become full-scale replacements.
Many of our commercial roofing and industrial roofing clients sign on for yearly maintenance because they’ve seen how much it saves in the long run.
