Find a Roof Repairer in Winnipeg

Own a home in Winnipeg? Then you know what the weather does to roofs. Hailstorms that appear out of nowhere in summer. Chinook winds swinging temperatures 20 degrees in a day. Winter cold that goes to minus 40. Your roof deals with all of it.

When something breaks, you need it fixed right. Not a rush job that fails in two years. Not someone who takes your money and vanishes. You want someone who knows roofs and does solid work.

Post what you need on Bark. We'll alert qualified roofers in Winnipeg. You'll receive quotes and can check out their reviews and past work. You stay in control and pick the pro that makes the most sense for your project.

What we see most around here:

Shingle damage from extreme temperature swings and severe weather. High winds, temperature swings, UV exposure. It all adds up. Asphalt shingles typically last 15-25 years, but some roofs show wear earlier depending on the grade installed and how exposed your house is.

Hail damage From marble-sized ice punching holes in shingles during summer storms.

Wind damage When 100 km/h gusts rip shingles right off the roof.

Thermal shock From extreme temperature swings cracking shingles and splitting seals.

Flashing problems around chimneys, skylights, and vents. This is where most leaks start, not the shingles themselves. Good roofers check flashing first.

Ventilation issues causing premature aging. Your attic needs to breathe. Poor ventilation means trapped moisture, which means rotted decking, mold, and shingles that curl and crack way before they should.

Impact-resistant shingles cost more but might save you from replacing your roof every 10 years after hail.

What to ask when you get quotes

Don't just go with the cheapest number. Ask:

• What's included? Some quotes cover materials and labor. Others quote materials separately.


• How long will it take? Weather can throw things off, but you should get a realistic timeline.


• What about permits? Manitoba municipalities require building permits for roof replacement. Winnipeg's process is straightforward. Rural areas vary. Let contractors handle permit applications.


• Who's doing the work? Is this the owner's crew or subcontractors?


• What if you find damage? Get a plan for surprises before they start ripping things apart.


• What's the warranty? Both on materials and workmanship. Get it in writing.

Winnipeg's roofing situation

Different areas have different problems.

Fort Garry has solid older homes built to handle harsh winters. River Heights is established neighborhoods with roofs facing extreme temperature swings.

Bottom line: your roof depends on your specific house. Good roofers look at your actual situation instead of pushing the same solution for everyone.

Practical considerations for Manitoba residents

Permits and regulations - Manitoba municipalities require building permits for roof replacement. Winnipeg's process is straightforward. Rural areas vary. Let contractors handle permit applications.

Insurance coverage - Manitoba weather causes serious roof damage. Insurance covers sudden damage from storms. Report promptly. Winter ice dam damage might not be covered depending on your policy.

Building codes - Manitoba follows the National Building Code. Heavy snow loads and extreme cold affect roofing requirements. Make sure contractors know MB climate demands.

Best timing - Short season runs May through September. Winter is brutal. Spring and fall work but weather is unpredictable.

When you should call a roofer

Get your roof looked at if you're seeing:

• Water stains on ceilings or walls


• Missing or damaged shingles after storms


• Granules in gutters means your shingles are breaking down
  
  
  
  • Sagging roof deck structural issue that needs immediate attention
  
  


• Daylight through roof boards in your attic


• Ice dams forming at roof edges in winter


• Moss or algae growth especially common in wet climates

Small problems turn into big ones fast. Repairs that cost $500 now might mean a full replacement you weren't planning for next year.
