Roofing in Windsor

Roofing for Windsor homes

Windsor's housing ranges from early-1900s homes in Walkerville and the older core to post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions. Windsor roofs deal with hot, humid summers, heavy thunderstorms and freeze-thaw cycles through winter. On older Windsor homes, roof replacements often uncover multiple layers of shingles, older plank decking and chimneys with tired flashing. We remove everything to the deck and fix those details properly.

What's included

Roof replacement and repair with proper eave protection, ventilation and flashing details. Depending on your project, the work can include:

• Full roof replacement
• Asphalt shingle roofing
• Metal roofing
• Roof repairs
• Ventilation and eave protection
• Related exterior work
• Inspection.
• Written quote.
• Tear-off and deck repairs.
• Installation and cleanup.

Full details, our process and common questions are on our main roofing page.

Local conditions in Windsor

Windsor sees hot, humid summers, strong thunderstorms and repeated freeze-thaw cycles each winter, all of which are hard on roofs, siding, eavestroughs and wood trim. Mature trees on many older streets add leaf build-up and shade that can hold moisture against the house, so we pay close attention to drainage, flashing and ventilation.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for roofing in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

• Is the quote for a full tear-off, and what is the per-sheet price for replacing damaged decking?
• How will attic ventilation be checked and improved?
• Where will eave protection and new flashing be installed?

Permits and approvals

Building permits in Windsor are issued by the City of Windsor's building department, and zoning rules come from the City's zoning by-law. Requirements depend on the scope of work, so we confirm what applies to your project during planning and handle applications for the work we're doing.
