Roofing in Fort Garry

Fort Garry covers a big stretch of south Winnipeg around the University of Manitoba, from older 1950s bungalows on the east side near the Red River to 1970s and 1980s two-storey homes closer to the U of M campus. The neighbourhood mixes long-term owner-occupied homes with rental properties serving the university community, which means the housing styles and project priorities vary more here than in most Winnipeg neighbourhoods. Some Fort Garry homes are on their first re-roof, others are on their third.

Roofing in Fort Garry’s Housing Mix

The Pembina Highway corridor splits Fort Garry into two distinct housing pockets: older bungalows and split-levels on the streets east of Pembina, newer two-storey homes and townhouse complexes on the west side toward Kenaston. The roofs, ventilation patterns, and re-roof timing differ between the two.

On the older east-side homes, we’re typically dealing with second or third re-roof cycles and often finding decking issues from past ice damming. The newer west-side homes are usually first re-roofs, straightforward asphalt replacements on tighter-built houses with current ventilation standards.

For owner-occupied homes, our standard process applies: full quote, scheduled re-roof, magnetic sweep cleanup. For rental properties, which are common in Fort Garry, we work with property managers and landlords to schedule work between tenant turnovers and coordinate access with renters when needed.
