Community Roots
More Than Customers — We're Your Neighbors
Rooted in the Fraser Valley
Dads Roof Repair isn't a franchise. We're not a corporate chain with a Vancouver head office. We're a local, family-owned business that lives, works, and raises families in the same communities we serve.
This isn't just a business model — it's who we are.
Local Projects That Matter
Over our 5+ years in business, we've had the privilege of working on projects that strengthen our communities:

Emergency Response: 2021 Atmospheric River
In November 2021, the Fraser Valley experienced catastrophic flooding and landslides from an atmospheric river event. While most attention focused on flood damage, the extreme rainfall caused widespread roof failures.
Our Response:
- Activated 24/7 emergency response team
- Provided free emergency tarping for 18 properties in Hope and Chilliwack
- Sourced emergency materials when suppliers were overwhelmed
- Prioritized seniors and families with young children
- Deferred payment for customers facing financial hardship from flood damage
We didn't do this for publicity. We did it because these were our neighbors in crisis.
Several of those emergency tarp jobs turned into full roof replacements months later — not because we pressured anyone, but because customers remembered who showed up when it mattered.
Supporting Local Suppliers
We could save money by ordering materials from Vancouver or online distributors. Instead, we source from local Fraser Valley suppliers like Roofmart Chilliwack, Pioneer Building Supplies, and Canex.
Why This Matters:
- Local Jobs: Our material purchases support local employees
- Tax Base: Local suppliers pay property and business taxes that fund schools, roads, and services
- Emergency Access: When a storm hits, local suppliers prioritize local contractors
- Relationships: We know the staff, they know our standards, communication is instant
The Economic Multiplier: Every dollar spent locally generates approximately $1.50-2.00 in local economic activity. When you hire us, you're not just getting a roof — you're supporting the Fraser Valley economy.
Word-of-Mouth Reputation in Small Towns
In communities like Rosedale, Agassiz, and Yale, reputation is everything. There are no anonymous transactions. Everyone knows everyone.
This Creates Accountability:
- A sloppy job in Rosedale doesn't just lose one customer — it loses an entire network
- A missed callback in Agassiz becomes coffee shop conversation
- An honest estimate in Yale becomes a referral to three neighbors
We embrace this pressure. It keeps us honest, responsive, and excellent.
Real Example: In 2020, we completed a roof in Rosedale. The homeowner was so impressed that she mentioned it at her book club. Within two months, we had four more projects from that single conversation.
That's not marketing. That's reputation.
Sponsorships & Involvement
We believe in giving back to the communities that support us:
Annual Sponsorships:
- Hope Minor Hockey Association
- Chilliwack Youth Soccer League
- Agassiz Fall Fair
- Mission Hospice Society
Volunteer Work:
- Habitat for Humanity roofing installations (donated labor)
- Hope Search and Rescue equipment storage building (pro-bono roof)
- Annual "Seniors' Roof Safety Inspection Day" (free inspections for seniors 65+)
Why We Do This: Because strong communities create strong businesses. We're not just taking from the Fraser Valley — we're investing in it.
The Neighbor Advantage
When you hire Dads Roof Repair, you're hiring people who:
- Shop at the same grocery stores
- Drive the same roads
- Experience the same weather
- Send kids to the same schools
- Care about the same community issues
This means:
- We can't disappear after a bad job (we live here)
- We can't ignore callbacks (we'll see you at the gas station)
- We can't cut corners (our reputation is our livelihood)
- We can't overcharge (word travels fast in small towns)
This is accountability you can't get from a Vancouver contractor who drives in, does the job, and disappears.
