Meet Jakub, the owner behind Roofkeeper

After moving to Canada from the Czech Republic, I spent five years with one of the Lower Mainland’s established roofing contractors, eventually becoming a foreman and leading residential roofing projects from start to finish. The experience I gained became the foundation for Roofkeeper.

Before pursuing a career in the trades, I earned a bachelor’s degree in business and spent three years in corporate management. Although I valued that experience, I was always drawn to hands-on work and decided to transition into the trades, starting with carpentry and exterior renovations before eventually specializing in roofing. Looking back, it was the right decision.

Today, I combine my business background with years of practical roofing and exterior renovation experience to help homeowners, strata corporations, property management companies, and fellow contractors throughout North and West Vancouver. Many of the projects I take on involve complex repairs, roof replacements, preventative maintenance, leak investigations, inspections, and custom solutions that require experience—not just installing shingles.

As an owner-operated business, I work directly with every client from the first phone call to the final cleanup. Every project is approached based on the specific needs of the home rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, and I believe clear communication, reliability, and quality workmanship should be part of every job.

Professionalism is one of the core values behind Roofkeeper. To support that commitment, I carry $2 million in commercial general liability insurance, maintain WorkSafeBC coverage, keep my fall protection certification current, handle all required municipal permits, provide workmanship warranties on completed projects, and continue investing in industry training.

Based in Lynn Valley, North Vancouver, I’m proud to serve my local community and the surrounding areas. Whether you have a roofing or exterior concern, need advice about an upcoming project, or would like to discuss the best solution for your home, feel free to reach out to see if Roofkeeper is the right fit for your project.
