Ottawa Roofing and Replacement Contractor
Your roof is one of the most important structural components of your home or commercial building. At the same time, it is probably the least protected area of your home. It is exposed to the elements at all times. At the same time, it is hard to access and some areas can be hard to inspect. As a result, tiny issues can over time become bigger problems that require attention.
Our roofing contractors at Kovar Roofing are here to help you keeping your roof intact. From inspections to repairs and full roof replacements, Kovar Roofing covers all kinds of roofing services.
Expert Roofing Services in Ottawa
Kovar Roofing provides an extensive range of roofing services in Ottawa and the surrounding regions. Our team of expert and licensed contractors are ready to assist you with roof maintenance, repairs, or replacements.
It begins with roof inspections. Regular evaluations by a knowledgeable professional can help prevent potential damage caused by minor issues in the future. By having one of Kovar Roofing’s experienced roofers assess your roof, you can save a significant amount of money by proactively avoiding extensive future damage and quickly addressing problems.
It is advisable to have your roof evaluated at least once every three years. Additionally, while not essential, it is recommended to perform biannual roof maintenance – once in the spring and once in the fall. Our team of roofing professionals at Kovar Roofing will clear away fallen leaves, pine needles, twigs, branches, and other debris, as well as address loose or damaged shingles.
We also provide winter snow and ice removal services. Ice build up can cause damming and inevitable leaks to your roof. Allow our skilled team to remove the ice from your roof before they cause leaks inside your home.
Our certified professionals at Kovar Roofing offer a diverse selection of roofing services in Ottawa and the surrounding region. We handle everything from inspections and maintenance to snow and ice removal during the winter season. Experience the Kovar Difference today!
However, even with regular inspections, it’s impossible to completely avoid all potential roof damage. Inclement weather might cause a shingle to be torn off, which should be promptly replaced to prevent further harm to your roof. If you require roofing repairs in Ottawa, Kovar Roofing is here to assist you. Our services encompass various issues related to roof repairs in Ottawa, including flashing replacement or repair, leak repairs, storm damage repairs, skylight replacement, heat trace cable installation, attic ventilation, exhaust ventilation, and sun tunnel installation.
Even the finest roof will eventually require replacement, whether it’s in twenty, thirty, forty years – or even longer. Regardless of the circumstances, if your roof is due for a complete replacement, our team of skilled and knowledgeable experts at Kovar Roofing is prepared to handle your Ottawa roof replacement needs.
Your Ottawa roof replacement project will commence by our team removing your current roof down to its core. Subsequently, we will substitute the shingles, membrane, and insulation if required. By replacing all components, you will have the assurance that your entire roof is in harmony and conforms to the same set of standards. Additionally, you can also take advantage of a 25-year workmanship warranty and 50-year comprehensive product warranty.

The Roofing Materials We Use
We believe that the best job is only as good as the material that is used. In other words: if you do not use high-quality materials, it doesn’t matter how expertly the job is done – the lack of quality of the material will show sooner rather than later. That is why we at Kovar Roofing only use high-quality materials from the best manufacturers and state-of-the-art technology to ensure your roof is made to last. We currently offer three types of materials:
Asphalt Shingles
The most popular type of roofing in North America are asphalt shingles. Their combination of low prices and long lifespan make them a very cost-efficient option. Plus: there is a variety of colours and styles to choose from. Their downside: asphalt shingles are susceptible to damage and likely require occasional repairs.
Cedar Shakes
Cedar shakes are less popular than asphalt shingles, but they look great and add value to your home. Cedar shakes are made of hand-split cedar wood products that allow the natural grains of the wood to shine. They are usually made to order, which prolongs the process but gives your roof a nice, custom tone. While they are a little more expensive, cedar shakes last longer than other types of shingles which balances out the cost in the long-term.
Metal Roofing
While admittedly not as elegant as asphalt shingles or cedar shakes, sheet metal roofs are very resistant and can last longer than both shingles and shakes. However, they are also more expensive. We offer Wakefield Bridge Metal Shingle, Standing Seam Install and Americana Panel.

ROOFING FAQS
How Long Does a Roof Last
A common asphalt shingle roof usually lasts around 15-20 years; metal roofs can last for about twice as long. The most enduring option are clay tiles that can last an entire lifetime. However, the longevity and lifespan of your roof will be affected by the materials you use, the climate you live in, and if you get regular maintenance or not. In the end, a roof is like anything else: the better you take care of it, the longer it will last.
What Are the Benefits of a New Roof?
Some of the beneifts of a new roof are rather obvious such as fixing any existing issues or preventing any looming ones, or getting a new warranty. However, there are other benefits that may accompany the installation of a new roof. For example:
- Increasing Your Home’s Value: this may be especially of interest if you are thinking about selling your home
- Improving Your Home’s Energy Efficiency:
- Protecting the Air Quality in Your Home
- Increasing the Curb Appeal of Your Home
What Is the Best Roofing Material?
The term ‘best’ depends on what you are looking for. The most common and popular roofing material is asphalt. Many homeowners find it to be the ideal choice because it is affordable and provides great durability. However, there may be other considerations for you when choosing a roof. Consult with the experts at Kovar Roofing to find the ideal solution for your individual situation.
What Are the Most Common Roof Problems?
There are a number of roof problems that can arise for a variety of reasons, from regular wear and tear, weather events or freak accidents. Among some of the most common problems are:
- leaks
- broken or missing shingles
- clogged gutters and eavestroughs
- pooling water
- poor air ventilation
- damaged roofing materials
Some of these problems may start out as small issues but they can grow into bigger issues if left unattended. We therefore recommend to have an expert inspect your roof regularly. Our team of certified roofing contractors can help you with that. They can determine the cause of your problem and provide you with a solution. Reach out to us today and let us help you!
Why Should You Hire a Professional Roofer?
The idea of turning your roof repair or replacement into a DIY project may seem attractive to some people, mostly due to perceived lower costs. But we would discourage this thought – not only because we are in the business of roofing services in Ottawa but also because working on the roof can be dangerous without the necessary knowledge, expertise, materials, and safety training. We bring all of these to the table and offer a number of warranties to provide you with the ease of mind that your money is invested sensibly and your roof is built to last.
What are you Certifications and Warranties?
