Roof Repair in Regina

Regina roofing

Not every Regina roof needs replacing. We handle repairs across Regina and the surrounding area, as soon as a crew and the weather allow. The key is finding the real source of a leak instead of patching the spot that happens to look wet, because water travels before it shows up on your ceiling.

We repair wind-lifted and missing shingles, cracked or pulled flashing around chimneys and vents, leaks at valleys and skylights, ice-dam damage at the eaves, and worn pipe boots. Regina sits in the most hail-prone part of Saskatchewan. The August 31, 2021 hailstorm hammered the north end - SGI took 3,000+ property claims and roughly 13,000 vehicle claims, and supply shortages had homeowners still filing for roof repairs a year later. Saskatchewan hailswaths run long and narrow, so one storm can stripe a specific set of streets. Snow averages ~104.6 cm a year with hard freeze-thaw cycling. (The 1912 Regina Cyclone remains the deadliest tornado in Canadian history.)

Roofs we have finished

If your Regina roof is generally sound and the damage is local, a repair is the right call and we will tell you so. If it is near the end of its life and the repairs are stacking up, we will lay out the honest math so you can decide. No scare tactics, just what we would do on our own house. A two-sided market: pre-WWI and 1920s-boom heritage homes (steep pitches, original detailing, full re-roof candidates) in the Crescents, Lakeview and Cathedral, plus high-volume new asphalt-shingle subdivisions in Harbour Landing, The Greens and Westerra whose warranty-age roofs are now aging in.

Every repair is backed by our workmanship the same way a full roof is. We trace the leak to its source, fix the cause, and make sure the repair blends in so you are not left looking at a patch.

A lot of Regina repair calls come right after a storm, when a few shingles let go or flashing pulled loose in the wind. Those are worth handling quickly, because an open spot lets water into the deck and the attic, and a small fix today is far cheaper than a rotted roof deck next spring. If you are not sure whether the damage is worth an insurance claim, we will tell you that too, honestly, after we have actually looked.

Repair or replace? How to tell

Why does it matter that a roofer actually knows Regina? Originally 'Pile-of-Bones' (Cree Oskana ka-asasteki, 'the place where bones are piled'), renamed Regina - Latin for 'queen' - in 1882 for Queen Victoria. Regina counted 99,134 private dwellings at the 2021 census with 92,129 of them occupied, leaving about 7,000 empty. Every one of those roofs works in plant hardiness zone 3b under an average 389.7 mm of precipitation a year, most of it falling between May and August. A roof's age here has far more to do with which decade its neighbourhood belongs to than with anything visible from the street, so we establish that first and talk about what the roof needs second. Knowing the age of the housing and the way storms track across this part of Saskatchewan is what tells us how to spec your roof. We reach Regina about 250 km southeast via the Trans-Canada (Hwy 1) and Hwy 6.

What we repair on Regina roofs

A lot of Regina's repair work is decided by the age of the neighbourhood. Lakeview holds mansions running from before the First World War through the post-war 1920s boom, and the Crescents and Cathedral Area carry housing of similar vintage. Roofs there have been worked on before, sometimes badly, and the repair usually starts with flashing, valleys and the eaves detail rather than the open field of the roof.

The other half of the callout list is trough and drainage work, because a hand-planted urban forest of roughly 300,000 trees, dominated by American elm, fills eavestroughs faster than most prairie cities. Regina's Warehouse District is the piece of the city that changes what we get called to.

It was originally the reception zone for freight and is being redeveloped into residential accommodation, restaurants and shopping, which means commercial roof structures are being brought back into use as places people live under. Those are flat and low-slope systems rather than shingle, with entirely different failure points, and they sit alongside the pre-war housing of Germantown and the Cathedral Area in the same few blocks.
