Agassiz

Why people here call us

Agassiz is farm country, and the outdoor spaces we build here are working ones — a covered area to get out of the weather between jobs, somewhere to eat that does not need packing up when it rains, shade over a deck that faces a lot of open sky. The lots are large and the structures can be too.

We have been designing and installing outdoor structures since 1987, and Agassiz sits at the far eastern end of the area we cover from our Langley shop. It is a longer run, so we plan the work in fewer, fuller visits.

On the ground

What building here actually involves

These are the things that change the design before anyone talks about colours and finishes.

01

Real snow load

Winter east of Chilliwack is not coastal winter. Snow sits, and it sits heavier than it does in Vancouver, so an Agassiz roof is engineered to a higher load than the same structure on the coast — more purlins, closer posts, and a slope that sheds rather than collects.

02

Long open spans

Rural lots do not force a compromise on size the way a city lot does. Aluminum carries a long span on relatively few posts, which is what makes a large covered area over a patio or a working yard possible without a forest of columns through the middle of it.

03

Open sky, both ways

With no neighbouring houses shading the yard, an Agassiz patio takes full sun in summer and full rain in winter. Which roof is right depends on which of the two you are actually trying to solve, and we would rather ask than assume.

04

Scheduled in fewer trips

Agassiz is the long end of our run, so we do not stretch a job across a month of half-days. Measuring, delivery and install are planned as a small number of full visits, and you know the dates before we start.

Questions

Agassiz questions

All FAQs

Is Agassiz really within your service area?

Yes. It is the eastern edge of it, and we plan the work accordingly — fewer visits, each of them a full day — but Agassiz and the surrounding farm properties are somewhere we build regularly.
It does. Snow load east of Chilliwack is higher than on the coast, so the roof is engineered for it: more support, closer post spacing and a slope that sheds. It is the same product, specified differently.
Usually. Aluminum carries a long span on few posts, which is the main reason it suits rural properties. We measure on site and tell you what is achievable before you commit to a size.
It depends on the structure and the property, and the requirements are not the same as they are in the cities. We go through what your specific build involves at the quoting stage and tell you what you will need to apply for.
Most patio covers and pergolas go up in two to five days once permits and materials are ready. Full sunrooms are typically one to two weeks on site. You get a realistic schedule with your written estimate.
