Roofs we have finished, and the work we bring to Hepburn
Quick answers
- Should a new roof have vents? Yes. In Hepburn's older buildings the venting was often never brought up to what the roof now needs, so the attic traps moisture that rots the deck.
- Why replace roof shingles? Age, in most cases: the oldest of Hepburn's three housing waves is long past its first shingle cycle.
- How long is a new roof guaranteed for? Ten years on our workmanship for every Hepburn roof we install, with the GAF manufacturer warranty on the materials on top.

Common roofing challenges in Hepburn, SK

Ice damming and heavy snow load
A housing stock with three separate eras in it

Eavestrough and drainage problems
In Hepburn we fix what is causing the problem, like attic venting that was never brought up to what the roof needs, instead of the wet spot.

All about Hepburn, SK
An early-1900s railroad town. When the line closed in 1989 it stranded three grain elevators; one survives as the Museum of Wheat, a 1928 Saskatchewan Wheat Pool elevator. (Bethany College, a Mennonite Brethren school, operated here until 2015.)
Today Hepburn is home to about 784 people. Agricultural - wheat farming and grain handling. The Hepburn Museum of Wheat (a converted 1928 grain elevator); the former Bethany College campus.
More about Hepburn
Its population history runs in waves: over 800 before the 1930s, under 300 by the end of that decade after the Depression and drought, and 784 at the 2021 census after a 14% rise in five years.
Hepburn exists because of a railway station, and the Museum of Wheat that survives from that era now tells the story of the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, the Canadian National Railway and the farmers who used both. The town packs 687.7 people per square kilometre, which for a prairie town of 784 means houses sit close together on small lots. Tight lots change how a re-roof is run, from where the bin goes to how we protect the neighbour's yard, and we sort that out before the first bundle comes off the truck.
From the original townsite to a modest recent-growth layer, a solid roof matters here, because Saskatchewan weather does not let a worn one slide. We serve Hepburn with honest assessments, clean job sites, and a 10-year workmanship warranty on every roof we install, from emergency leak repairs to full replacements.

What our customers say about the crew that runs to Hepburn
Rated 5.0 on Google · W Contracting Roofing · read them on Google
Thanks to Nathan and his team. 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, seamless and affordable process. From the initial phone call to the end of the job Nathan kept communication going and was patient and knowledgeable when I was trying to choose the right shingles. I can’t thank Nathan and the team enough. We were so impressed we didn’t bother obtaining any 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 we contacted kept saying they'd start in a few days... and then never showed up. Nathan and his professional crew were methodical, and willing to do the little extras that a shingling job may require. They were prompt, quick, thorough and left the site very tidy. Price was good and the street appeal of our house went up, thanks to Nathan's team. A very solid 10 out of 10. We heartily recommend them with absolutely no reservations.
We had Nathan from W Contracting out for a hail estimate, and the service was nothing short of remarkable. In the end, we had to combine our roof claim with a previous garage issue, but the estimate Nathan 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. We would definitely recommend them. They have a great selection of shingles to choose from and a great warranty. Thank you to Nathan and the crew for treating our home well and making the roof look great.
Nathan and the crew were wonderful to deal with. 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 and his team of roofers are definitely a fantastic group to work with. Nathan came out at 3 am to retarp my roof after the tarp was tore off in a storm. They did a fantastic job with all 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 quality roof job done. They were very accommodating with my time frame, budget and nature of the job. Left the site clean and tidy. A+
