A new roof installation is a comprehensive process that involves removing or building upon an existing structure and installing a completely new roofing system from the deck up. This includes the underlayment, insulation, ventilation systems, flashing, and outer roofing material — whether that’s asphalt shingles, metal panels, flat membrane, or another system.
At Roofix, our installation process is methodical, precise, and guided by over 26 years of hands-on experience in Ottawa’s unique climate conditions.



Most standard residential roof installations are completed within 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of the roof, the type of materials being installed, and current weather conditions. Larger or more complex projects — such as steep-pitch roofs or commercial properties — may take longer. Before we begin, we provide you with a realistic and detailed project timeline so you know exactly what to expect.
Given Ottawa's harsh winters, heavy snowfall, and freeze-thaw cycles, we typically recommend architectural asphalt shingles or metal roofing as the top choices for residential properties. Architectural shingles offer excellent durability, wind resistance, and cost-effectiveness, while metal roofing provides superior longevity, snow-shedding capability, and energy efficiency. During your free consultation, our team will help you choose the material that best suits your home and budget.
While it's not strictly required for you to be present throughout the entire installation, we do recommend being available at the start of the project for a final walkthrough and at the end for our post-installation inspection. Our team will keep you updated throughout the day and will never begin work without your prior approval of the project scope and quote.
Absolutely. A new roof is one of the highest-return home improvement investments you can make. It significantly improves curb appeal, boosts energy efficiency, and gives potential buyers confidence in the structural integrity of the property. Studies consistently show that a quality new roof can recover a substantial portion of its cost in increased resale value — making it both a protective and financial investment.
Every Roofix installation comes with two layers of warranty protection. First, a 5-Year Roofix Workmanship Warranty that covers any defects or issues arising from our installation process. Second, the manufacturer's product warranty on the roofing materials themselves — which can range from 25 years to a lifetime, depending on the brand and product selected. We walk you through all warranty documentation during your final project walkthrough.
