Water coming through the ceiling, shingles across the lawn after a windstorm, or a tree on the roof — Guelph Roofers responds seven days a week to stop the water first and plan the permanent repair second.

Water that is stopped today is a roofing repair; water that runs for a week is a drywall, insulation and mould job. We tarp, patch and secure damaged roofs across Guelph and Wellington County, document everything for your insurance claim, and come back to do the proper repair once the weather allows.
Heavy-duty tarps secured over damaged sections to stop water immediately — the first step after any storm damage.
Temporary or permanent repair of the leak source, depending on weather and the extent of the damage.
Lifted and missing shingles, torn flashing and damaged ridge caps secured and repaired after Guelph's spring and fall windstorms.
Roof decking and structure secured after branches or trees come down, coordinated with your insurer.
Safe steam or mechanical removal of ice dams that are forcing water into the house, plus the ventilation fix afterwards.
Photos, a written damage report and a repair quote in the format your adjuster needs.
Emergency response after storms and wind events
Tarping to stop water the same day where possible
Everything photographed for your insurer
Guelph crew — not a truck from Toronto
Guelph gets hit by the same spring and fall wind events that come across southern Ontario, plus ice storms and heavy snow loads most winters. After a major storm we prioritise active leaks and open roofs first, then secure damaged sections across the city. We respond in Guelph, Fergus, Elora, Rockwood, Erin and Puslinch.
Once the emergency is handled, see our roof repair in Guelph page for the permanent fix, or read our guide to filing a storm damage insurance claim.
We also serve: Guelph, Erin, Elora, Cambridge, Rockwood, Kitchener, Fergus and surrounding Wellington County communities.
Move anything valuable out from under the leak, put a bucket under it, and if water is pooling in the ceiling drywall, poke a small hole to let it drain rather than let it spread. Then call us. Do not go on the roof yourself, especially in wind, rain or ice.
After a storm we triage calls by severity — active leaks and open roofs first. Most emergency tarping in Guelph is done the same or next day. We will give you an honest time when you call.
Most Ontario home policies cover sudden storm, wind and hail damage, but not wear and tear. We document the damage with photos and a written report so your claim is as clear as possible, and we can meet the adjuster.
We can tarp and make temporary repairs in almost any weather. Permanent shingle repairs need dry conditions and, ideally, above-freezing temperatures for the sealing strips to bond, so some winter emergencies are a two-step repair.
Yes. We remove ice dams safely with steam or careful mechanical methods — never a hammer or salt — and then fix the attic ventilation and insulation problem that caused them.
