British Columbia’s climate is unforgiving. Rain, moisture, moss, windstorms, freeze–thaw cycles — your roof takes the worst beating 365 days a year.
This is why most BC roofing failures happen long before they should.
Not because of the shingles…
But because of the installer.
And when it comes to asphalt shingle performance, one brand consistently stands at the top:
IKO Cambridge — Engineered for Canada. Installed Perfectly by XP.
XP doesn’t install roofs.
XP builds roofing systems—moisture-proof, wind-locked, impact-resistant, and architecturally clean.
Other contractors slap on shingles.
XP performs roof surgery.
Why IKO Cambridge Is BC’s Most Trusted Shingle
IKO Cambridge is specifically engineered for Canadian weather:
Heavyweight architectural shingles (stronger, thicker, longer-lasting) FastLock™ seal for wind resistance up to 110–130 MPH Best-in-class algae protection for BC’s wet coastal climate Deep, architectural shadow lines & premium colours Highest-mass shingle among major North American brands
Most roofers don’t tell homeowners this, but mass matters.
Heavier shingles = better protection, better performance, better lifespan.
XP chooses IKO Cambridge because it delivers the durability BC homes genuinely require.
Where XP Destroys the Competition: Installation Quality
IKO Cambridge performs only when installed to precision.
And most BC roofers simply don’t have precision — or discipline.
Let’s be brutally honest:
Many nail too high (leading to blown-off shingles)
Many skip underlayment or moisture barrier
Many cut valleys poorly
Many never install proper drip-edge
Many take shortcuts on ventilation
Many reuse old flashings
Many leave debris everywhere
XP doesn’t tolerate ANY shortcuts.
1.XP Builds a Full Roofing System — Not Just a Roof
Every XP Cambridge roof includes:
Ice & water shield
Synthetic underlayment
Reinforced valleys
Metal drip-edge & proper starter strips
Correct Cambridge nailing pattern
Maximum airflow ventilation
Flashings replaced, not reused
Precision ridge-cap finishing
This is the difference between a 10-year roof and a 30–40 year roof.
2.Young, Hungry, Fast, and Ruthlessly Accurate
Your roof isn’t installed by tired old contractors who just want to finish by 3PM.
XP’s roofing team is:
young
energetic
detail-obsessed
trained weekly
multicultural and unified
laser-focused on safety + quality
Speed without accuracy means nothing.
XP gives you BOTH.
3.The Cleanest Roofing Jobsites in BC
Roofing gets messy.
XP keeps it clean:
magnets to pick up every nail full tarp protection zero debris in gardens spotless cleanup daily
A roof shouldn’t leave your property looking like a disaster zone.
XP ensures it never does.
