New Construction Roofing in Windsor

New Construction Roofing for Windsor homes

Windsor's homes range from early-1900s brick houses in Walkerville and the older core to post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions in the east and south ends. Windsor's new construction is a mix of infill homes on older lots and builds in newer subdivisions on the edges of the city. On infill lots, tight side yards and neighbouring houses make material deliveries and bin placement part of the planning, so we sort that out with the builder before roofing day.

What's included

Roofing for new homes, additions and garages, coordinated with builders and framers from sheathing to ridge. Depending on your roof, the work can include:

• Dry-in
• Shingles or metal
• Flashing and penetrations
• Ventilation
• Additions and tie-ins
• Review the drawings.
• Schedule to the frame.
• Install and inspect.
• Hand off.

Local conditions in Windsor

Windsor's older homes often have steep, cut-up roofs with dormers, chimneys and porch roofs, while post-war bungalows have simple gables that are quick to reroof. On houses built before the 1950s, expect possible plank decking and multiple old layers; we plan for both in the quote rather than surprising you on the day.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for new construction roofing in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

• Have you reviewed the drawings, including pitches, materials and ventilation?
• How quickly can you dry in the roof after sheathing?
• Who coordinates the soffit, ventilation and insulation trades?
• How will penetrations from other trades be sealed?
• What warranty documentation will I receive?

Permits and approvals

Building permits in Windsor are issued by the City of Windsor's Building Services department. Replacing shingles with similar materials usually doesn't need a permit, but structural repairs, new roof framing, new skylight openings and changes to the roof structure generally do. We confirm what applies to your project during planning.
