Roofing Process

Your roof protects everything beneath it, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our process starts with property protection and site setup to ensure your landscaping and exterior features are safe. Old shingles and underlayment are removed carefully, followed by a detailed inspection of the roof deck to identify any hidden damage.

We then prepare your roof with proper flashings, drip edges, and ventilation before installing premium materials in the correct order: ice and water shield, underlayment, shingles, ridge caps, and sealants. Every step meets or exceeds manufacturer specifications, ensuring your warranty remains valid and your roof lasts for decades.

Finally, we clean up thoroughly and recycle used materials — even your old shingles are repurposed as road asphalt.

Siding Process

New siding gives your home fresh curb appeal while improving weather protection and energy efficiency. Our team begins by removing the old siding and inspecting the sheathing underneath. If repairs are needed, we’ll discuss them with you before proceeding.

Next, we prepare the walls with house wrap, flashing, and strapping to promote moisture control and proper ventilation, essential for Winnipeg’s freeze–thaw cycles. We then install your chosen siding and trim with precision, ensuring every detail meets manufacturer standards for appearance and durability.

Once complete, we perform a full cleanup and recycle leftover materials wherever possible.

Aluminum (Soffit, Fascia & Eavestrough) Process

Our aluminum services protect and complete your home’s exterior while improving airflow and drainage. We start by safeguarding your property and carefully removing old materials. The substrate underneath is inspected for rot or water damage before installation begins.

We then fabricate seamless eavestroughs on-site and install new soffit and fascia systems. Every corner, end cap, and downspout is sealed for durability, and our custom zip hinges make downspout extensions easier to manage. The result is a clean, long-lasting finish that enhances both performance and aesthetics.

We end every job with a thorough cleanup and recycle all aluminum, steel, and wood materials — part of our commitment to sustainability.

Insulation Process

Insulation is one of the smartest upgrades you can make to improve your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. Our process begins with careful site setup, positioning our trucks for easy hose access and protecting your home’s surfaces.

Next, we inspect and prepare your attic, basement, or crawlspace for installation. Damaged or outdated insulation is removed using professional-grade suction equipment. Once the area is prepped, we apply high-performance insulation such as blown-in cellulose, batts, or closed-cell spray foam, depending on your home’s needs.

Before wrapping up, our crew ensures your space is tidy, ventilation is optimized, and all air sealing has been completed to the highest standard — delivering measurable comfort and efficiency gains.

How to Prepare for Your Project

Every successful project starts with good preparation. Taking a few simple steps before our team arrives helps protect your property and keeps your project running smoothly.

Before We Arrive

  • Clear your work area: Move vehicles, furniture, and planters away from the home.
  • Provide access: Ensure exterior power outlets, driveways, and gates are accessible.
  • Communicate early: Inform neighbours about scheduled work and confirm key details with your project supervisor.

During Installation

Expect some noise, limited access, and visible setup like ladders or trailers — all part of a professional and safe operation. We keep you updated if anything changes and are always available to answer questions.

After We’re Done

We take cleanup seriously. Our crews sweep, vacuum, and double-check every area before wrapping up. You’ll have a final walk-through with your foreman to review the work and ensure everything meets your expectations.
