Winnipeg’s Trusted Roofing & Home Performance Experts

For a typical bungalow (1,200 sq ft), expect $8,000–$15,000 for asphalt shingles and $15,000–$25,000 for metal roofing. Complex roof lines and multi-storey homes cost more.

Manitoba requires a minimum of R-50 attic insulation. Many older Winnipeg homes fall well below this, which directly contributes to ice dam formation and high energy bills.

Heating cables are an energy-consuming band-aid. They create a melt channel but don’t address the root cause: heat loss from the living space into the attic. The permanent fix is air sealing, insulation, and ventilation.

Late spring through early fall is ideal for planned replacements. After a major storm, get inspected immediately because insurance claims have time limits and our crews respond to storm events first — but expect longer timelines for the actual install when demand spikes.

That’s attic condensation. Warm, humid air from your living space leaking into the cold attic and freezing on the wood. Winnipeg’s deep cold makes this especially severe. It’s not a roof leak, but it will rot your decking from the inside out if it’s ignored. The fix is air-sealing ceiling penetrations (pot lights, bathroom fans, attic hatch), upgrading insulation to R-50, and balancing your soffit-to-ridge ventilation. Bathroom and kitchen fans must vent to the exterior, not into the attic.

Document the date and time of the storm. That’s the most important detail for a claim. Then book a professional inspection before calling your insurer; hail damage is often invisible from the ground and an experienced roofer will catch what an adjuster might miss. We meet the adjuster on-site and, if the initial estimate is short on items required for a code-compliant install (drip edge, ice-and-water shield, decking replacement), we file a supplement to request the additional funds. Most homeowners don’t know supplements are an option, that’s why they leave money on the table.
