Regina roofing
When a Regina roof is past repair, a replacement done properly should last you decades. 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.
We install complete GAF systems, with the GAF Timberline HDZ shingle as our workhorse. It comes in a strong range of colours and carries excellent wind and impact ratings for prairie weather, which matters here. 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.) A typical 2,000 square foot replacement runs $7,000-$10,000, depending on slope, the number of facets, and the product you choose.
Roofs we have finished
Replacement day in Regina looks like this. We load your materials onto the roof a day or two ahead and park the dump trailer on the driveway so old shingles drop straight into the bin. The crew arrives at 7am, sets up tarps and dropsheets to catch every nail and offcut, and strips the roof to the deck. We inspect the plywood for rotten boards, replace what needs it, then rebuild: drip edge, ice and water shield at the eaves, full underlayment, shingles, and ridge venting. Most homes are done in a single day.
The roofs that actually last get the boring parts right: sealed flashing, ice and water membrane where ice dams form, and ventilation that lets heat and moisture escape so the shingles do not cook from underneath. That is the difference between a 12-year roof and a 30-year roof. And if the cost is a wall, financing through Financeit can spread it into manageable payments.
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.
Repair or replace? How to tell
| Situation | A repair usually makes sense | Replacement is the call |
|---|---|---|
| Roof age | Under ~15 years, plenty of life left | Near or past its rated lifespan |
| Damage extent | Local: a few shingles, one leak, one flashing | Widespread bruising, multiple leaks, bald spots |
| Leak history | First leak, easy to trace | Recurring leaks in different spots |
| Insurance / storm | Minor, below your deductible | Storm damage that qualifies for an SGI claim |
| Cost over time | One fix solves it | Repairs are stacking up year over year |

When a Regina roof is due for replacement
Regina grew 5.3% between 2016 and 2021 to 226,404 people in 99,134 private dwellings, and the new build is concentrated in the northwest and southeast, where the subdivisions were laid out with decorative landscaped lagoons instead of spring runoff storm sewers. Older Regina is a different job entirely.
When we quote a replacement on a Lakeview or Crescents house we are usually dealing with a roof that has had several partial repairs layered onto it, and the honest answer is that the deck and the flashing need to be opened up and dealt with once. Regina's metropolitan area reached 249,217 people in 100,211 occupied dwellings in 2021.
The new construction is concentrated in the northwest and southeast, and those subdivisions were laid out with decorative landscaped lagoons in place of spring runoff storm sewers, so the water coming off a new roof is managed at the neighbourhood level rather than piped away. It makes correct sizing and slope on your own eavestroughs matter more here, not less, and we spec them as part of a replacement rather than as an afterthought.

What our customers say about the crew that runs to Regina
Rated 5.0 on Google · W Contracting Roofing · read them on Google
We had a leaky roof and what we thought was going to be a total nightmare and financial disaster turned out to be a relaxing, stress-free and affordable process. Nathan kept communication going and was patient and knowledgeable when I was choosing shingles. We were so impressed we didn't bother getting quotes from other companies. It's W Contracting all the way!
We were fortunate to find W Contracting when we needed a roof replacement. An earlier company kept saying they'd start in a few days and then never showed up. Nathan and his crew were methodical and willing to do the little extras a shingling job requires. Prompt, quick, thorough, and left the site very tidy. A very solid 10 out of 10.
We had Nathan out for a hail estimate and the service was nothing short of remarkable. The estimate he provided, along with his knowledge and advice, was so thorough that even my insurance adjuster took note. I highly recommend W Contracting for all your roofing needs!
We had new shingles put on our home and had a very positive experience with Nathan and his crew. They have a great selection of shingles to choose from and a great warranty. Thank you for treating our home well and making the roof look great.
From repairing the roof, installing new shingles, clean-up and competitive pricing, they were professional and efficient in every step. Would trust them to do a roof anytime and will recommend them to everyone we know.
Nathan came out at 3 am to re-tarp my roof after the tarp was torn off in a storm. They did a fantastic job with everything, including clean up. I would fully recommend them. 5 plus stars.
Nathan was fast and efficient fixing my rain gutter after it blew down during the night! Very friendly, would definitely recommend.
Would recommend Nathan and his team to anyone looking for a quality roof job. They were very accommodating with my time frame, budget and the nature of the job. Left the site clean and tidy. A+
