Ottawa's roofs take a beating between freeze thaw winters, heavy spring rain, and the occasional summer hailstorm, so a contractor with a real track record matters more here than in most cities. This list was refreshed by cross referencing HomeStars, the Better Business Bureau, Google reviews, TrustedPros, and each company's own site to confirm who is still actually operating in the Ottawa region and has visible customer feedback behind them.
1. Rydel Roofing & Siding
Area: Ottawa, Kanata and Gatineau · Since: 2012 · Rating: 97 percent customer review rating on HomeStars
Rydel is a franchise operation with an Ottawa branch, and it was named Best of Eastern Ontario for Roofing and Siding by HomeStars alongside an A+ Better Business Bureau rating. Reviewers describe the crews as punctual and detail oriented, and the company runs a 24/7 emergency line, which suits homeowners dealing with sudden storm damage.
2. Cadieux Roofing Inc.
Area: Ottawa and surrounding area · Since: 1996
Cadieux is a family owned business started by JP and Heather Cadieux, and it holds an A+ Better Business Bureau rating and RenovationFind certification. Customers on HomeStars and BBB repeatedly mention the owner supervising jobs personally, competitive pricing against other quotes, and thorough cleanup, including using a magnetic sweeper to collect stray nails. The company installs shingle and metal roofing and also handles skylights and sun tunnels.
3. Vanity Roofing
Area: Kanata to Orleans, based in Carp · Specialty: shingle and siding, extended warranties · Since: 2015
Vanity holds an A+ Better Business Bureau rating along with CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster status, a designation limited to the top tier of shingle installers, which allows it to offer an extended 50 year non-prorated warranty on qualifying jobs. The company states it has completed more than 18,000 roofing and exterior projects, and reviewers consistently single out communication and cleanup as strengths.
4. Remember Me Roofing
Area: Ottawa and Nepean · Since: 2011
Remember Me is GAF Master Elite certified, a designation held by a small percentage of roofing contractors in North America, and offers a 50 year warranty on qualifying GAF installations. Most feedback is positive, citing competitive quotes and clear communication about weather delays, though at least one HomeStars reviewer reported dissatisfaction with subcontracted crew work on their job, so it is worth asking directly whether your crew will be in house staff.
5. Godfrey Roofing Inc.
Area: Ottawa · Rating: 4.8 on TrustedPros (10 reviews) · Since: 1984
Godfrey is now run as a second generation family business and offers 24/7 emergency service, useful given how often Ottawa homeowners deal with sudden ice damming in winter. Reviewers describe the sales, office, and install teams as consistently professional, though a BBB complaint on file describes landscaping damage during one job that was only partially resolved, worth factoring in if you have delicate garden beds near the roofline.
6. Roofmaster Ottawa Inc.
Area: Ottawa, Kanata, Orleans, Barrhaven, Kemptville, Smiths Falls, Perth and the wider Ottawa Valley · Rating: 4.7 average across 300+ reviews · Since: 1981
Roofmaster is a family owned company with more than 40 years in the local market and states it has completed over 17,000 roofing jobs using its own employees rather than subcontractors. It has won the Consumer's Choice Award for the region for 21 consecutive years and holds CertainTeed Select Shingle Master certification. Some reviewers note the company can respond firmly rather than warmly if a post-install issue comes up, so keep any concerns in writing.
7. Wolfenburg Roofing
Area: Ottawa, Vanier and Gatineau · Specialty: flat roofing for commercial and residential · Rating: 4.9 on TrustAnalytica
Wolfenburg has more than 25 years of combined industry experience and has been BBB accredited since 2019. It is licensed, insured, and bonded, and offers financing on larger projects along with flat roofing systems for commercial buildings, a niche not every residential-focused roofer on this list covers well.
8. Metal Roof Ottawa Inc.
Area: Ottawa and Eastern Ontario, including Kemptville, Cornwall and Kingston · Specialty: Canadian made steel roofing systems · Since: BBB accredited 2018
For homeowners specifically considering a metal roof, Metal Roof Ottawa specializes in standing seam, steel shingle, and architectural rolled steel systems from Canadian manufacturers, with warranties running 40 to 50 years depending on the product line. The company also offers its own second mortgage style financing for the higher upfront cost of metal roofing, an option most competitors on this list don't provide directly.
9. Geerts Roofing Inc.
Area: Richmond, Nepean, Ottawa, Gloucester and Barrhaven · Since: 1990
Geerts has been serving the Ottawa area for more than 35 years and holds an A+ Better Business Bureau rating. The company handles shingle, flat, and metal roofing along with more specialized work like church and historic structure roofing. Customer feedback highlights punctuality, workmanship, and thorough site cleanup, with several reviewers noting the crew finished ahead of schedule.
10. Classic Roof Tiling Ltd.
Area: Ottawa Valley, including Nepean and Beckwith · Since: 1986
Classic Roof has more than 35 years of experience and an A+ accredited BBB rating, with dozens of five star reviews citing honesty and dependability on larger renovation jobs. A handful of complaints on file describe slow response on warranty callbacks for smaller repair jobs, so it is worth confirming in writing what follow-up service looks like before signing.
How We Built This List
This list was compiled from public web sources, including company websites, the Better Business Bureau, HomeStars, Google reviews, TrustedPros, and independent directories such as RenovationFind. It is not a paid placement and no business on this list paid for inclusion. Central City Roofing, which appeared on an earlier version of this list, was dropped this round after its listed website could not be reliably verified as active, readers should confirm current status directly before reaching out to any company not on this list. Details on ratings, warranties, and history reflect what was publicly available and verifiable at the time of research. This list was last reviewed in August 2026. Homeowners should still confirm current WSIB clearance, a valid City of Ottawa business licence, and up to date insurance directly with any contractor before hiring.
