Local roofers

Serving the Yorkton community

Local expertise you can trust

We know Yorkton, from the Broadway Street heritage commercial core and surrounding older homes to some newer development, and we build to Saskatchewan code for our climate. Predominantly older residential - heritage and mid-century homes - so the work here skews toward re-roofing aging asphalt and addressing decades of freeze-thaw wear rather than tract new-build.

Built for Yorkton's weather

Yorkton's marquee weather event is the flash-flood storm of July 1, 2010, when a severe thunderstorm flooded Broadway Street, with more flooding in June 2014 - a reminder of how fast intense summer storms overwhelm roofs, eaves and drainage here. 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 Yorkton, SK

Yorkton has declared a State of Emergency for storm water twice since 2010, which tells you most of what you need to know about roofs and drainage here.

Ice damming through a -17.9 C January
Yorkton's average daily temperature in January is -17.9 C and it has recorded -46.1 C, so the cold sits long enough to hold snow on a roof all winter. The freeze-thaw at the eaves builds ice dams that force water back up under the shingles.
Aging roofs in a city founded in 1882
Yorkton was founded in 1882 and became a city in 1928, and it holds 6,974 occupied dwellings spanning that whole history. The older stock is well past its first shingle cycle, and worn asphalt gets brittle and cracks fast in the cold.
Hail and flash flooding
On the evening of 1 July 2010 Yorkton took pea sized hail, strong winds, lightning and heavy rain, and the flash flood that followed hit Broadway Street hardest, severely damaging local businesses and destroying one outright. The city declared a State of Emergency, and did so again in late June 2014 after more flash flooding. Hail bruises the mat under the granules where you cannot see it from the ground.
Attic ventilation across a 35 degree seasonal swing
January averages -17.9 C here and July averages 17.8 C, with a record high of 40.6 C. An attic that is not vented properly traps deck-rotting moisture at one end of that range and bakes the shingles at the other.
Eavestroughs in a city that floods fast
Both of Yorkton's states of emergency since 2010 came from rain arriving faster than the ground could take it. That is exactly the condition an undersized or blocked eavestrough fails in, overflowing, feeding ice dams in winter and dumping water against the foundation.

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

Our community

All about Yorkton, SK

Named for the York Farmers Colonization Company, formed by Ontario businessmen in 1882. The settlement physically relocated in 1888-89 to meet the new rail line - a town that moved to the tracks. Today Yorkton is home to about 16,280 people. A regional service centre for southeastern Saskatchewan - healthcare, education, retail and agri-business. The Yorkton Film Festival, the longest-running short-film festival in North America; St. Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church with its famous dome mural.

The city has declared a State of Emergency for storm water twice in recent memory, after the hail and flash flood of 1 July 2010 that hit Broadway Street hardest, and again after flash floods in late June 2014.

A finished shingle roof with new pipe boots and vent flashing.

Yorkton is the sixth-largest city in Saskatchewan, spread across 36.19 square kilometres and bordered by the rural municipality of Orkney on three sides and Wallace on the east. It works as the regional service centre for southeastern Saskatchewan, which means a large stock of commercial and institutional buildings sits among the housing. After the 2010 hail and flood those were the buildings with the most exposed roof area and the fewest people looking at them.

From the Broadway Street heritage commercial core and surrounding older homes to some newer development, a solid roof matters here, because Saskatchewan weather does not let a worn one slide. W Contracting serves Yorkton with honest assessments, clean job sites, and a 10-year workmanship warranty on every roof we install, from emergency leak repairs to full replacements.
