Roofs we have finished, and the work we bring to Lumsden
Quick answers
- Should a new roof have vents? Yes, especially in the Qu'Appelle Valley, which holds damp air longer than open plain. Getting the venting right is half of why a roof lasts.
- What does a roof look like when it needs to be replaced? Brittle, cracking asphalt. Lumsden properties from the older part of its history, back to the 1881 settlement, are many roofs deep by now.
- How long does a typical shingle roof replacement take? A single day for most Lumsden replacements once the materials are staged, though weather can shift the schedule.

Repair or replace? How to tell on a Lumsden roof

| 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 |

All about Lumsden, SK
Originally 'Happy Hollow,' renamed Lumsden in 1889 after Hugh Lumsden, a senior railway engineer, when the line came through. Today Lumsden is home to about 1,800 people.
Farming community plus affluent Regina commuters - an unofficial suburb of the capital. Named 'prettiest town in Saskatchewan' by Harrowsmith magazine in 2002; the annual Duck Derby and Scarecrow Festival; the scenic Qu'Appelle Valley setting.
More about Lumsden
The town has taken major floods in 1892, 1904, 1916, 1948 and 1969, saw its highest water levels on record in 1974, and afterwards straightened the Qu'Appelle River channel and built dikes.
For a town of 1,800 Lumsden has produced a striking number of artists, among them the painter Illingworth Kerr, the sculptor Joe Fafard, who died here in 2019, and John Cullen Nugent, and the folklorist Edith Fowke was born here. The Lumsden Monarchs were a founding member of the Highway Hockey League in 1965. People who choose a valley town for how it looks tend to care how the work looks when it is finished, and we quote the finish details here rather than leaving them to chance.
From valley-set established homes to newer infill serving Regina commuters, a solid roof matters here, because Saskatchewan weather does not let a worn one slide. We serve Lumsden with honest assessments, clean job sites, and a 10-year workmanship warranty on every roof we install, from emergency leak repairs to full replacements.

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+
