When you're building new in Ottawa, the roof is one of the most important decisions you'll make. It protects everything underneath it for the next 30-50 years. Ottawa Roofing & Maintenance helps you choose the right material, designs proper ventilation, and installs it to manufacturer specifications.
Our New Roof Installation Process
Project Planning
We analyze your plans for pitch, square footage, ventilation needs, and code compliance. You get a detailed proposal with material specs, timeline, and fixed pricing before any work begins.
Pre-Installation Setup
Materials delivered and staged on-site the day before installation. Shingle pallets, underlayment rolls, flashing stock, ridge vent, and fasteners, everything confirmed against the project spec sheet.
Professional Installation
Our Ottawa crew installs every layer to manufacturer specifications: underlayment, ice and water shield, drip edge, starter strip, field material, hip and ridge caps, and ventilation. Every fastener placed per the manufacturer nailing schedule.
Warranty Registration
After installation: quality inspection, building department sign-off, manufacturer warranty registration, and cleanup. Your new roof is warranted from the day it passes inspection.

About Our Ottawa New Roof Installation Services
Proper ventilation is the most overlooked element in new roof installation. We calculate intake and exhaust requirements per IRC R806 based on your attic square footage. Balanced ventilation (soffit intake matched to ridge exhaust) keeps your attic cooler in summer and drier in winter, extending roof life and reducing energy costs.
Typical new roof installation in Ottawa takes 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. We coordinate with your builder on scheduling, material delivery, and inspection timing. Materials are staged on-site the day before install to keep the project on schedule.
