DryTek’s History
DryTek was founded with a simple goal: raise the standard of exterior construction on Vancouver Island. Built on hands-on trade experience and strong operational leadership, the company was created to bridge the gap between skilled installation and professional project execution. From early residential roofing and siding projects, DryTek has grown into a trusted contractor for both homeowners and larger multi-family and envelope-focused work.
Today, DryTek continues to expand its capabilities in roofing, premium siding systems, and building envelope applications, earning a reputation for reliability, craftsmanship, and a “get it done right” attitude that clients count on.
Our Values
- Quality First
We never cut corners. Materials, installation methods, and finishing details are chosen for durability and long-term performance. - Integrity & Accountability
We do what we say we’ll do. Transparent pricing, honest recommendations, and standing behind our work are non-negotiable. - Professionalism on Every Site
Clean job sites, respectful crews, safe work practices, and organized project management define how we operate. - Performance Over Shortcuts
We focus on proper building envelope practices — moisture control, ventilation, and system integration — so our work performs, not just looks good. - Partnership Mindset
We work closely with homeowners, property managers, and general contractors to deliver projects on time, on budget, and to specification.
