Roofing in Union Bay, BC
Union Bay is a small waterfront community of around 1,000 people on the east coast of Vancouver Island, south of Courtenay along the Old Island Highway. The community has deep roots — it was a significant coal shipping port in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and that history is reflected in several heritage homes and historic buildings that remain part of the community's character today.
The oceanfront setting on Baynes Sound means Union Bay properties face the full force of weather crossing from the BC mainland. Storms tracking down the Strait of Georgia bring sustained onshore winds and heavy rain, and the salt air from the marine environment accelerates wear on roofing materials. Metal fasteners, flashing, and exposed roof hardware corrode faster in oceanfront and near-oceanfront locations. Asphalt shingles near the water also tend to lose granules more quickly as the salt air dries and ages the surface.
Heritage homes in Union Bay present a familiar challenge: steep-pitched Victorian and Craftsman-era rooflines, original cedar framing, and limited access in tight village lots. Getting a re-roof done well on a heritage structure requires patience, attention to original detail, and the right material selection. Chea Beauchemin has been navigating exactly these challenges throughout his career on Vancouver Island.
Union Bay is approximately 75 minutes south of Campbell River, in the heart of the Comox Valley corridor. We service the area regularly alongside our Courtenay and Comox work, which keeps scheduling efficient and costs reasonable.
