Sinking foundations, leaking roofs, rotting posts, and bear damage — we've seen it all and we know how to bring buildings back to life.
What We Repair & Maintain
If it's structural, weatherproofing, or cosmetic — we can assess it, scope it, and fix it.
Foundation & Structural Repair
Sinking posts, crumbling foundations, and structural issues — we brace, lift, and restore buildings that others say to knock down.
Barn & Outbuilding Restoration
Facelifts, re-cladding, door replacements, and full structural overhauls for barns, sheds, and agricultural buildings.
Small Roof Repairs & Flashing
Missing shingles, pipe boot replacements, skylight repairs, roof venting, attic insulation, and water infiltration — small fixes are welcome, and we find the real source.
Conversions & Repurposing
Converting garages to farm stores, adding lean-tos, or repurposing existing structures for new uses.
Repair questions answered
Understand the condition before choosing the scope.
Farrow Built can assess an existing structure, including one built by another contractor, before defining a repair or maintenance plan.
What signs mean I should have a building assessed?
Water stains, lifting roof panels, failed fasteners, soft or rotting posts, doors that no longer close properly, attic moisture, condensation, damaged cladding, and visible structural movement are all reasons to ask for an assessment.
Is repairing an existing building worthwhile?
Repair can be worthwhile when it restores safe, useful service life and addresses the underlying cause of the issue. The right decision depends on the structure’s condition, the desired use, the scope required, and future plans for the property. An assessment is the starting point for a practical comparison.
Does Farrow Built take on small roof repair jobs?
Yes. Farrow Built handles targeted repairs as well as larger projects. Examples include missing or blown-off shingles, pipe boot replacements, skylight repairs, flashing, roof venting, attic insulation, and leak fixes.
How much does a roof repair cost in BC?
A roof repair is scoped around the actual problem. Cost can change with the roof area, slope, material, access, the condition behind the visible issue, and whether flashing, decking, insulation, or ventilation work is needed. Farrow Built reviews the condition before recommending a repair scope.
What affects the cost of a roof replacement?
Roof size, pitch, material, access, tear-off work, decking condition, flashing, insulation, ventilation, and the details around penetrations such as skylights and vents all affect a replacement scope. A property-specific review is the right way to compare options.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
The right choice depends on the location and extent of the issue, the remaining condition of the roof system, and whether the underlying structure is sound. A targeted repair can be appropriate when the issue is isolated; an assessment helps show when broader work should be considered.
Is metal or shingle roofing the right choice for my property?
Material selection should be based on the building, roof design, maintenance needs, appearance, budget, and the project conditions—not a single price comparison. Farrow Built can discuss the scope and the factors that change the installed cost of each option.
Does a new roof add value to a property?
A sound roof can protect the building, improve buyer confidence, and support day-to-day use. The effect on a specific property’s market value depends on the local market, the property, the existing roof condition, and buyer demand. Farrow Built does not provide appraisal or investment advice.
