What is Eco Roofing?
Eco-friendly roofing, also known as sustainable roofing, is a conscious choice for Vancouver homeowners who want a high-performing roof that minimizes their environmental impact. These roofs are designed to protect your home from the elements while reducing waste, conserving resources, and lowering your carbon footprint.
Unlike traditional roofing materials that often rely on non-renewable resources and contribute to landfill waste, eco-friendly roofing materials prioritize sustainability at every stage of their lifecycle – from production and installation to maintenance and disposal.

Western Red Cedar
Western Red Cedar is a classic roofing material known for its natural beauty and insulating properties. We source our cedar from companies that practice zero waste, utilizing wood that would otherwise be discarded.
Cedar roofs are naturally resistant to rot and mold, making them well-suited for Vancouver’s damp climate. They also offer excellent thermal insulation, helping to regulate your home’s temperature and reduce energy consumption.
We only use 100% edge grain cedar.
Solar Reflective
Malarkey Roofing’s Ecoasis line offers an innovative approach to sustainable roofing. These solar reflective shingles are engineered to reduce heat absorption, keeping your home cooler while lowering your energy bills. Made with upcycled materials and featuring Scotchgard protection, these shingles provide both environmental and performance benefits for your Vancouver home.
Available in a variety of attractive colours, solar reflective shingles offer the same aesthetic appeal as traditional asphalt while providing added benefits for both your home and the environment.
