Do You Have A Roofing Project We Can Help With?
Our Story
Soare Contracting Inc. is based in Victoria’s Westshore and has been owned and operated by the Soare Family since 2001. Kevin Soare began roofing in the Okanagan in 1985 and holds a journeyman trade ticket. Marion Harding-Soare, a former paralegal, is the office manager and is likely the first person you will speak to when you call. Recently the family business has passed on to the second generation – sons Colby and Trevor, both architectural sheet metal workers, have worked in the family business from the beginning.
We are a safety-conscious company that believes in the importance of keeping not only our workers but also our customers protected by making sure that our licenses and permits are up-to-date and our insurance and memberships are in order.
We are proud to have been consistently nominated by our customers for the Better Business Bureau of Vancouver Island Torch Awards. We we were Torch Award Winners in 2017 and 2019, and have been finalists every year since 2013. We are the most proud of these nominations because they are solely customer driven.
We are passionate about giving back to our community and have contributed by working on numerous volunteer projects in the past and plan to continue to do so. Most recently we are sponsors of the Wounded Warrior Run BC.

Environmental Consciousness
We are committed to making choices, whenever possible, that reduce our impact on the environment wanting to leave a small footprint. This is a big challenge in the construction industry. We save documents electronically rather than in paper form and prefer to send contracts and warranties electronically. We look for energy-efficient equipment to purchase and choose sustainable and low-impact products wherever possible giving preference to recycled, reusable and/or biodegradable products which is why promoting metal roofs is so important to us.

What Our Customers Say
“Thank you so much for repairing my roof so quickly, and for leaving everything immaculate. I wouldn’t hesitate to use your company again if my roof needed any future work, and I’d certainly recommend you to other home owners.”
“Thank YOU all so much. We really can’t express how much it means to us. Literally thousands of rescued animals will find safety, recovery, and a forever home beneath the roof you’ve donated. The sanctuary is forever changed and strengthened by your gift. All my best, Andrew”
“It was a pleasure working with you. Your staff is excellent and Kevin is so very adept at resolving any sort of connection and attachment problems as they arise. It is quite an art, like carefully wrapping a parcel so that it will stay in place. He communicated well the idiosyncrasies of putting on a metal roof. I appreciated that. Please bring some business cards so we can recommend you to others. Not only does Soare Contracting provide excellent product and service, SOARE ROOFERS ARE QUIET! No obnoxious music or offensive language. Thank you!”
“Kevin, thanks SO much for bringing light into the darkness for me. Your roofing experience and detective work, and especially your kindness are truly appreciated, and will not be forgotten.”
“We recently moved in to our new home in Langford – a 20 year old home that needed a new roof. We were looking to get solar panels in the future so wanted something durable, but we didn’t want our home to end up looking like a warehouse on an industrial estate. We also like to keep our business local. After doing a little detective work with friends and colleagues we heard about Soare Contracting. Marion and Kevin own this business and they were immediately helpful and provided great guidance on material selection and style. Easy to work with and amenable they were only too willing to do the leg work and come around to our house for meetings. Colby (won Kenobi) a true Jedi of the roofing arts and his team came to install our roof and they were polite, clean and quick. Whenever there were challenges Colby was always up front and honest and we always felt confident that he was helping us to make good decisions. The team was consistently accommodating to allow us to still live our lives and they worked around us rather than the other way around. When you have a big job like getting your roof replaced you kind of sign up to a month of disruption, but given the scheduling we hardly noticed that they were there. The finished product is great. Quiet in the rain, environmentally friendly, durable and nice to look at. We couldn’t be happier with our new roof. Thank you roof Jedi.”
“What can I say, we were in a crisis years ago and Kevin came quietly to the rescue and then stayed with us through all the flat roof quirks. I am so grateful. And then he restored its beautiful and unique character. We were blessed.”
“My father and I visited Pender a couple of weeks ago for the first time since you replaced the roof in February. I just wanted to let you know that we are both very happy with the work and the thorough clean-up.”
“I know the job is never-ending challenge. And by the way, they’re great guys, hard-working, respectful and courteous. Cheers! PS. I’ve already recommended you to several people!”
“My husband and I have received more than first class service from Soare Contracting. Marion and Kevin went above and beyond. My husband has already been promoting Soare Contracting through the military community, and I have passed along their name through my colleagues in the BC Government. This is a dependable, responsible and respectable company and would recommend them to anyone.”
