Roof Leak Repair
Winnipeg, MB

Something is wrong with your roof. Maybe it's a brown ring spreading across the ceiling, a pile of shingles in the backyard after a wind storm, or bare plywood showing where the granules used to be. Whatever brought you here, the same three things cause most roof trouble in this city: freeze-thaw cycles that crack shingle seals and pry at flashing, hail from our May-to-September storm season, and ice dams building up on low-pitch eaves.

Roof Repair Winnipeg is a small local crew, not a call centre with a fleet of branded trucks. We find the actual source of the problem, fix it properly, and quote the repair instead of the replacement you don't need. Most repairs land between $200 and $1,500, though the final cost varies a lot depending on job size, scope, and site conditions. The inspection is free and the written quote comes within 48 hours.

What We Fix in Winnipeg

Almost every call we get fits one of these. If yours doesn't, call and describe it, and we'll tell you straight whether it's a roof problem at all.

• Roof leaks, we trace the water from the stain on your ceiling back to the actual entry point, which is often five feet from where it drips
• Missing or torn shingles, wind-lifted, hail-bruised, or blown clean off, including the bare decking that shows up after a storm
• Hail and storm damage, a full slope check, not just the side the weather hit, with an adjuster-ready photo report
• Flashing and vent boots, the cracked metal and dried-out rubber collars that cause more leaks here than shingles do
• Ice dams and winter leaks, removal, de-icing, and the ventilation fix that stops them coming back next January
• Flat and low-slope roofs, where ponding water and seam failures are the whole story
• Chimney and skylight leaks, the two penetrations we get called about most often
• Ceiling stains and water damage, we stop the water at the source and tell you what the drywall needs
• Roof ventilation and soffit work, the fix that prevents ice dams instead of chasing them every winter
• Full roof replacement, when the honest answer is that patching a 22-year-old roof is money you won't get back

Missing Shingles and Bare Deck After a Storm

This one gets its own heading because of how often it's handled badly. A wind storm peels shingles off a single slope, and what's underneath is either black underlayment or bare plywood. That exposed deck is taking water directly now, and the next rain doesn't have to be heavy to get into your attic.

What you do about it depends on the weather and the calendar, not on panic. If rain is coming in the next 24 hours, a tarp is worth the money. If it's October and the forecast is clear for a week, the permanent repair can usually be scheduled properly instead. Either way the shingles need to be matched and the deck underneath needs to be looked at before anyone re-shingles over it.

We wrote the full walkthrough of that decision, including what it costs, in our missing shingles after a storm guide.

What a Roof Repair Visit Includes

A repair starts with finding the source, not the stain. Water travels along rafters and under the underlayment before it drips through your ceiling, so the wet spot in your living room is a poor guide to where the hole actually is.

We get on the roof and walk every slope. We check the shingle field for cracked seals, lifted tabs, and granule loss. We check the flashing at every chimney, skylight, vent boot, and wall junction. We look at the eaves for ice dam damage from previous winters. Then we check the attic side for moisture, blocked ventilation, and frost buildup, because a leak you can't see yet will show up in spring.

Here's a concrete example. A homeowner in River Heights calls about a stain on the dining room ceiling. The obvious suspect is the roof directly above. The real breach is flashing at a chimney five feet away, where freeze-thaw expansion cracked the seal, and the water ran sideways along a rafter before it dripped. We find that kind of thing every week, and it's why we never quote a repair from a photo or a phone call.

Pricing for Roof Repairs in Winnipeg

Every roof is different, so treat these as planning ranges, not quotes. The final cost varies a lot depending on job size, scope, and site conditions.

• Roof leak repair: $200–$1,200
• Emergency roof repair (tarp, containment, urgent fix): $150–$1,500
• Hail and storm damage repair: $400–$5,000+
• Shingle repair and replacement: $200–$1,500
• Missing shingles after a storm: $200–$1,200
• Ice dam and winter leak response: $200–$1,200
• Flashing and vent boot repair: $150–$800
• Roof inspection and assessment: free–$250
• Roof ventilation and soffit work: $300–$1,500
• Flat and low-slope roof repair: $400–$2,500
• Roof replacement: $8,000–$15,000
• Roof snow removal and de-icing: $200–$800

Two things move the number more than anything else: access and season. A steep two-storey roof costs more to work on safely than a walkable single-storey, and a January call when it's -30°C is priced differently than a scheduled spring repair. If you're filing an insurance claim for hail or wind damage, we provide an adjuster-ready damage report with every inspection, so you're not paying for the same job twice.

Why Choose Roof Repair Winnipeg

Small crew, low overhead. We run deliberately lean, no showroom, no account managers, no twelve-truck fleet with the overhead to match. That overhead isn't in your price. What you're paying for is the person on the roof.

No sales team. The person who quotes your roof is the person who repairs it. Nobody here is incentivised to sell you a bigger job than the roof actually needs, which is a different business model from the one most Winnipeg homeowners get quoted under.

Repair-first, and we'll say so when it isn't. If a $900 repair buys you five more solid years, that's what we quote. If the decking is soft and the shingles are curling on three slopes, we'll show you why a replacement is the better money, and then it's your call.

Freeze-thaw local crew. Winnipeg gets roughly 60 freeze-thaw cycles a year. That cycle does more roof damage than the hail does, and it's the reason we build repairs to survive a March melt, not just the storm that started the problem.

Storm response in 24–48 hours. Winnipeg's hail season runs May through September. When a storm rolls through we get out fast, document everything with photos, and hand you a report your insurer can work from.

We serve all of Winnipeg and surrounding communities, year-round, because in this city roof problems don't wait for a convenient season. And when a repair isn't enough, when the shingles are too far gone or the deck is compromised, we'll tell you that too and quote a fair roof replacement, $8,000–$15,000 depending on your home's size and pitch.

How the Repair Process Works

1. Call or book online. You talk to the person who will inspect your roof, not a call centre gatekeeper.

2. Free on-roof inspection. We walk every slope, find the source, and photograph what we find.

3. Repair-first quote. We tell you what needs fixing now, what can wait, and, honestly, when a repair is smarter than a new roof and when it isn't.

4. The repair. The same person who quoted the job does the work. No handoff, no surprises.

5. Follow-up. We check the repair after the next freeze-thaw or storm cycle if it's near a problem area.
