Winnipeg · Manitoba · Est. 2004
Most roofs in this city were built for a milder one. Ironvale specifies every assembly around prairie freeze–thaw, ice damming and July hail lines — then puts a 30-year workmanship guarantee behind it in writing.
73%
of the failed roofs we tear off in this city died of ventilation, not shingles.
The prairie problem
National shingle warranties are written for Toronto. Winnipeg asks a roof to expand, contract, shed ice and take a hail line — every year, for decades. The systems that survive it are specified differently from the deck up, and almost nobody quoting your house is doing that work.
Why homeowners choose Ironvale
Roughly one in six inspections we run ends with us telling the homeowner they have six good years left and don't need us yet. It's a terrible closing strategy and the single biggest reason Ironvale Roofing Co. has never needed to advertise.
In-house crews
No brokered labour. Ever.
48-point inspection
Attic, envelope and drone imagery.

Every warranty certificate is signed personally by our founder before it leaves the office.
What we build
Full tear-off systems
Deck-up rebuilds using ice-and-water membrane past code, synthetic underlayment and Class 4 impact-rated shingles specified for −40 °C to +35 °C swings.
50-year architecture
Concealed-fastener standing seam in matte steel finishes — the longest-lived residential system we install, and the quietest in a hailstorm you'd expect.
Insurance handled
Emergency tarping inside 12 hours, dated photographic scope of loss, and an adjuster meeting on site — we run the claim so you don't have to learn how.
Fix the cause
Ice dams are a heat-loss problem wearing a roofing costume. We model your attic, correct intake and exhaust, then seal the bypasses that feed the melt.
Water routed away
Seamless 5" and 6" aluminum formed in your driveway, plus soffit, fascia and cladding detailing that keeps meltwater off the foundation.
Membrane systems
Two-ply SBS and mechanically-attached TPO for warehouses, strip retail and additions — installed on a schedule that keeps your doors open.
Selected work
Before & after
A St. Vital bungalow eleven days after a July hail line took out the south slope, siding and both trough runs. Tarped the same evening, claim documented inside 72 hours, homeowner paid their deductible and nothing else.
Drag the handle to compare
The guarantee
Your certificate is issued and registered at handover — not eighteen months later after three phone calls.
30 Years
Every fastener, flashing and penetration we install. If water enters because of how we built it, we return and fix it — labour and materials, no deductible.
Lifetime
Limited lifetime shingle coverage registered in your name the day we finish, with wind coverage to 210 km/h on every Class 4 system we specify.
Transferable
Selling inside the term? The workmanship certificate transfers once at no cost, with documentation formatted for your listing package.
How it runs
Day 1 — 90 minutes
A 48-point walk of the roof, attic and exterior envelope, drone imagery of every slope, and a written condition report with a realistic remaining-life estimate.
Within 48 hours
Line-by-line pricing. Materials, labour, disposal, permits, contingency. No range, no 'starting at', no change orders unless you approve new scope in writing.
2–5 days typical
Our own crews — never subcontracted. A site lead is on your property from first tear-off to final ridge cap, and you get a photo update at the end of every day.
Same day as completion
Magnetic sweep of the full perimeter and driveway twice, debris hauled the day it comes off, and a landscape walk with you before anyone leaves.
Registered at handover
Your 30-year workmanship certificate and the manufacturer's registration are issued the day we finish — not something you chase down eighteen months later.

“Fourth quote we collected and the only one where someone went into the attic. Turned out our ice dams were a bathroom fan venting into the insulation. Two winters later, nothing.”

Most Winnipeg homes land between $9,800 and $22,000 for a complete tear-off and replacement. The spread comes from square footage, pitch, the number of layers being removed, deck condition and shingle grade. Standing-seam metal typically runs 2.2–2.8× a laminate shingle system but carries roughly double the service life. Every Ironvale quote is itemized and fixed before a single bundle is ordered.
Our freeze-thaw cycle and summer hail shorten every published lifespan. A builder-grade 3-tab roof commonly fails here at 12–15 years. A properly ventilated Class 4 architectural system reaches 25–30. Standing-seam steel, installed with correct thermal movement allowance, is a 50-year envelope. Ventilation, not shingle brand, is the single largest variable.
Yes, and we do it every January. Below +5 °C we hand-seal every shingle and use cold-weather adhesives rather than relying on solar activation. For active leaks we tarp within 12 hours year-round and schedule the permanent repair for the next workable window.
Most Manitoba homeowner policies do, but approval depends almost entirely on documentation quality. We supply dated photography of all elevations, a written scope of loss in the format adjusters expect, and we meet your adjuster on site at no charge. Our claims lead is a former adjuster.
Every fastener, flashing, penetration and detail we install. If water enters because of how we built it, we return and fix it — labour and materials included, no deductible. It transfers once to a new owner at no cost, which is documentation worth having in a listing.
Inspections are typically booked within 48 hours. Standard replacements start within 2–3 weeks in peak season and inside a week from October onward. Emergency leak response is same-day, every day of the year.
No. Every crew member is an Ironvale employee, WCB-covered and trained to our detailing standard. It's the reason we can put thirty years behind the workmanship — we know exactly whose hands were on your roof.
Free inspection
A 48-point inspection with drone imagery, attic readings and a written condition report. Free, no obligation — and we'll tell you honestly if you don't need us yet.
That's exactly what the inspection is for. Free, honest, and no one will follow up twice.
