Local roofers

Serving the Saskatoon community

Local expertise you can trust

We know Saskatoon, from Nutana and Riversdale to Stonebridge and Evergreen, and we build to Saskatchewan code for our climate. Spans early-1900s heritage homes (steeper pitches, dormers) through 1960s-80s bungalows to large new-build subdivisions. Many 1990s-2000s suburbs are now hitting the 20-25 year first-replacement window. Asphalt shingle dominant.

Built for Saskatoon's weather

The August 2025 system put 10,000+ lightning strikes over the city in a day; severe prairie thunderstorms here regularly produce plow winds (downbursts up to EF2, strong enough to lift a roof) and hail. 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 Saskatoon, SK

Saskatoon holds 115,619 private dwellings across a river valley in plant hardiness zone 3b, and that combination decides most of what we get called out for.

Ice damming and heavy snow load
Zone 3b winters run long here, and Saskatoon only takes 352.3 mm of precipitation across the whole year, so most of the winter's snow arrives dry and drifts unevenly instead of sliding off. The freeze-thaw at the eaves builds ice dams that force water back up under the shingles.
Aging roofs in the older river-side neighbourhoods
The west side of the river got its town charter in 1903, and the neighbourhoods that grew out from it are the oldest housing stock we work on. Those roofs are well past their first shingle cycle, and worn asphalt gets brittle and cracks fast in the cold.
Summer storm and hail damage
Environment records for Saskatoon describe summer thunderstorms that turn severe with torrential rain, hail, high winds, intense lightning and, on occasion, tornadoes. Wind lifts and creases shingles and strips ridge caps, and hail bruises the mat under the granules where you cannot see it from the ground.
Attic ventilation under 2,350 hours of sun
Saskatoon averages 2,350.4 hours of bright sunshine a year, which bakes a poorly vented attic all summer, and in the deep freeze the same attic traps moisture that rots the deck from below. Getting the venting right is half of why a roof lasts.
Eavestroughs on a river-valley grade
The lowest ground in the city is the river itself and the highest sits up in Sutherland-College Park, so runoff has somewhere to go and eavestroughs carry real volume in a spring melt. Blocked or undersized trough overflows, feeds ice dams in winter, and dumps water against the foundation.

We fix the cause rather than the wet spot, so your Saskatoon home stays protected.

Our community

All about Saskatoon, SK

Founded 1883 as a Methodist temperance colony, named after the saskatoon berry. Today Saskatoon is home to about 266,141 people. Potash (Nutrien HQ), uranium (Cameco HQ), agriculture, University of Saskatchewan, growing tech sector. Delta Bessborough ('the Castle on the River'), the Meewasin Trail along the South Saskatchewan River, nine bridges.

The city straddles a bend in the South Saskatchewan River and sits in the aspen parkland, in plant hardiness zone 3b, with 115,619 private dwellings counted in the 2021 census.

A finished ridge run carried the full length of a hip roof.

The city began in 1882 when the Toronto-based Temperance Colonization Society was granted 21 sections of land straddling the river between what is now Warman and Dundurn, and the first settlers arrived the following year under John Neilson Lake. The Meewasin Valley Authority now protects the South Saskatchewan River corridor running through the middle of it. Roofs along that corridor sit in the most exposed part of the city, with the river's own wind funnel and no built-up shelter on the valley side.

From Nutana and Riversdale to Stonebridge and Evergreen, a solid roof matters here, because Saskatchewan weather does not let a worn one slide. W Contracting serves Saskatoon with honest assessments, clean job sites, and a 10-year workmanship warranty on every roof we install, from emergency leak repairs to full replacements.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions, Saskatoon roofing

How long does a roof replacement take in Saskatoon?
Most Saskatoon roof replacements are done in a single day once the job is booked and materials are staged. Larger or steeper roofs can run into a second day. Weather can shift the schedule, and we will always keep you posted.
Do you provide a warranty on your Saskatoon roofing work?
Yes. Every roof we install in Saskatoon carries a 10-year workmanship warranty, on top of the GAF System Plus manufacturer warranty on the materials. If anything in our work needs attention in that window, we come back.
How do you handle heavy snow loads and ice dams in Saskatoon?
We install ice and water shield along the eaves to stop ice damming, full underlayment, and proper attic ventilation so heat and moisture do not get trapped. That detailing is exactly what Saskatoon's winters demand.
Do you help with storm damage and SGI insurance claims in Saskatoon?
Yes. We are HAAG Certified, so on a Saskatoon roof we inspect the way an adjuster does, document everything with photos and video, and work alongside your adjuster so the approved scope reflects the real, storm-caused damage.
Which areas of Saskatoon do you serve?
We serve all of Saskatoon (S7H, S7J, S7K, S7L, S7M, S7N and more), including Nutana, Riversdale, Sutherland, City Park, Montgomery Place, and the surrounding area. We quote any project within about two hours of Saskatoon, including acreage and farm roofs.
