What our customers say about the crew that runs to Drake
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+
Local roofers
Serving the Drake community
Local expertise you can trust
We know Drake, from older village homes and farm/acreage buildings to modest turnover, and we build to Saskatchewan code for our climate. Older, established prairie homes plus farm and acreage outbuildings - vintage stock that needs maintenance and re-roofing rather than new-build work.
Built for Drake's weather
Drake sits in central Saskatchewan's continental storm pattern - a May-to-September hail and thunderstorm season, heavy snow load, and pronounced freeze-thaw cycling. Our roofing systems are built for it: ice and water shield at the eaves, full underlayment, GAF shingles, and proper ventilation so your home stays protected year-round.
Local challenges
Common roofing challenges in Drake, SK
Drake is a village of 197 people that has kept two real industrial employers, so the roofs here are not all houses.
Ice damming and heavy snow load
Farm and shop roofs alongside houses
Storm and wind damage
Poor attic ventilation
Empty buildings and unnoticed water
We fix the cause rather than the wet spot, so your Drake property stays protected.
Our community
All about Drake, SK
Founded around 1908 and named after Sir Francis Drake, the English sea captain - many village streets carry the names of Drake and his crew (Francis, Howard, Norreys, Hawkins, Gilbert). A landlocked prairie grain village themed around an Elizabethan privateer. Today Drake is home to about 197 people. A farming community - Drake Meat Processors and Bergen Industries are notable local employers. The Drake Canucks senior hockey team (2023 provincial 'A' champions); the Sir-Francis-Drake street-naming theme.
Ninety-one of its 103 private dwellings are occupied, and two businesses founded in the village, Drake Meat Processors and Bergen Industries, still operate from it.
The village office sits on Francis Street and Drake describes itself as a community of roughly 210 people, a little above the 197 recorded at the 2021 census. Robin Bartel, who went on to play in the National Hockey League, came from here. For roofing, the number that actually matters is the twelve empty dwellings out of 103, because vacant buildings in a village this size are where a small leak turns into a replaced deck without anyone noticing.
From older village homes and farm/acreage buildings to modest turnover, a solid roof matters here, because Saskatchewan weather does not let a worn one slide. W Contracting serves Drake with honest assessments, clean job sites, and a 10-year workmanship warranty on every roof we install, from emergency leak repairs to full replacements.
Repair or replace? How to tell on a Drake roof
| 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 |
