Roofs we have finished, and the work we bring to Rosthern
Quick answers
- Should a new roof have vents? Yes, and on Rosthern's steep church and hall roofs venting is harder to get right than on a bungalow. Wrong venting traps moisture that rots the deck.
- Why replace roof shingles? Housing from Rosthern's Mennonite settlement era is deep into repeat roof cycles, and worn asphalt that old gets brittle and cracks in the cold.
- Should a new roof have a guarantee? Yes. Rosthern roofs we install carry our 10-year workmanship warranty, on top of GAF's warranty on the materials.

Financeit
Our financing runs through Financeit, so a roof can be spread over monthly payments instead of paid all at once.
Local challenges
Common roofing challenges in Rosthern, SK
Rosthern has been a town since 1903 and holds over ten churches, so a good share of the roofs here are steeper and older than the prairie average.
Ice damming and heavy snow load
Heritage roofs from the Mennonite settlement era
Storm and wind damage
Ventilation on steep and institutional roofs
Eavestrough and drainage problems
On Rosthern roofs, steep or low-slope, we fix the cause of the leak rather than the wet spot.

Repair or replace? How to tell on a Rosthern 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 |

All about Rosthern, SK
Mennonite settlers led by Gerhard Ens arrived around 1890 with the railway; the name likely comes from Rostherne, England, reportedly brought by a homesick railway worker. Today Rosthern is home to about 1,602 people.
Mennonite agricultural community and regional service centre. Seager Wheeler Farm (a National Historic Site and world-champion wheat farm), the Rosthern Mennonite Heritage Museum, the restored Station Arts Centre, and Valley Regional Park.
More about Rosthern
Mennonite settlers led by Gerhard Ens arrived from about 1890, the post office opened in 1893, village status followed in 1898 and town status in 1903, and the Seager Wheeler Farm nearby is a National Historic Site of Canada.
Rosthern is well equipped for a town of 1,602 people: a library, a curling rink, a bowling alley, two indoor hockey rinks and three school gyms, along with parks, walking trails, two ball diamonds and an outdoor swimming pool completed in 2005. Rinks, halls and gyms are wide-span buildings with long, low-slope roofs, and they carry snow load in a way a house never does. We quote that kind of roof on its own terms rather than scaling up a residential estimate.
From designated heritage properties and older homesteads to limited new build, a solid roof matters here, because Saskatchewan weather does not let a worn one slide. We serve Rosthern 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+
