Where We Work
Roofing Service Areas Across Ottawa
Ottawa Roofing Pros is a roofing contractor serving the entire City of Ottawa, from Centretown to its rural villages, plus communities within roughly a 30-minute drive of the city. Our base on McLeod Street in Centretown puts most of the suburbs within a 15 to 30 minute drive.
In more than 17 years and 1,500+ jobs, we have learned that each part of Ottawa has its own roofs. Kanata's 1970s split-levels, Barrhaven's first-generation builder shingles and Centretown's flat-roofed brick rows all fail in different ways.
Pick your community below to see the housing, roof types and local issues we deal with there.
Communities We Serve
We have dedicated pages for the six Ottawa communities where we do the most roofing work. Each one covers the local housing stock, the roof problems we see there and how quickly we can reach you.
Orléans
Ice dams on 1980s split-levels, long townhouse rows that need coordinated re-roofs, and wind exposure near the Ottawa River. Meet our Orléans roofers.
Barrhaven
Many 1990s and 2000s homes are still on original builder-grade shingles, often with minimal attic ventilation. Read about roof replacement in Barrhaven, including shared roof lines on townhomes and semis.
Nepean
Post-war bungalows and split-levels in Bells Corners, Craig Henry and Centrepointe, often hiding multiple shingle layers over plank decking. See how our Nepean roofing contractors handle these homes and the flat retail roofs along Merivale Road.
Stittsville
Newer subdivisions such as Fernbank, Jackson Trails and Granite Ridge sit on open, windy lots, while acreages to the west need steel roofs on barns and workshops. Visit roofing in Stittsville.
Gloucester
From Blackburn Hamlet to Blossom Park and Hunt Club, plus light industrial and warehouse roofs near the airport. Our Gloucester roofing services page covers each area.
Central Ottawa, Close to Our Base
Central neighbourhoods are minutes from our Centretown office, which makes them the fastest areas we reach for emergency roof repair. That includes Centretown, the Glebe, Old Ottawa South, Sandy Hill, Hintonburg, Westboro, Vanier and Alta Vista.
The roofs here are older and often mixed. Brick rowhouses and triplexes typically pair a flat or low-slope main roof with shared parapets, while rear additions and porches add small membrane roofs that pond water.
Heritage rules also come into play. Homes in heritage conservation districts such as Rockcliffe Park and New Edinburgh can need City approval for roofing changes, which our Ottawa roofing permits guide explains.
Rural and Outlying Areas
We serve Ottawa's rural wards as well as the suburbs, including villages that do not have their own page. The amalgamated city stretches from Fitzroy Harbour in the west to Cumberland and Navan in the east, and all of it is in our area.
- Manotick, about 25 minutes south, with riverside homes and older village houses near the Rideau.
- Greely, about 25 minutes south, where larger estate homes often carry big, cut-up hip roofs.
- Richmond, about 30 to 35 minutes southwest, mixing a historic village core with newer subdivisions.
- Carp, about 30 minutes west, with rural homes, hobby farms and outbuildings well suited to steel roofing for homes and outbuildings.
- Cumberland, about 30 to 35 minutes east along the Ottawa River, with exposed lots and older village homes.
- Osgoode, Metcalfe, North Gower, Navan, Dunrobin and Constance Bay, along with the farms and acreages between them.
Rural roofs face more wind on open land and fewer trees to break it, so we pay close attention to shingle nailing and ridge caps there. Barns, garages and workshops are often better candidates for steel than shingles.
We also take work in neighbouring towns within about 30 minutes of the city's edge, such as Carleton Place, Kemptville, Russell and Rockland. Call to confirm your address.
Drive Times From Our Centretown Base
Most Ottawa addresses are 15 to 30 minutes from our office in normal traffic, and our crews are on call 24/7. Rush hour, snowstorms and road closures can add time, and we always give you a realistic arrival window.
| Area | Typical drive from Centretown |
|---|---|
| Central Ottawa (Glebe, Westboro, Vanier, Alta Vista) | 5 to 15 minutes |
| Nepean and Gloucester | 15 to 20 minutes |
| Orléans and Kanata | 20 to 25 minutes |
| Barrhaven and Stittsville | 25 to 30 minutes |
| Manotick, Greely and Carp | 25 to 30 minutes |
| Richmond, Cumberland and outer rural wards | 30 to 40 minutes |
For leaks and storm damage anywhere on this map, our 24/7 emergency roof repair crews stop the water first. Property managers and business owners can see our commercial roofing services for flat-roof and membrane work across the same area.
