Stonewall is a town of about 5,000 north of Winnipeg, historically a limestone quarry town (which is where the name comes from) and now a commuter community at the southern edge of Manitoba’s Interlake region. The housing mix runs from older heritage homes near the original town centre, to mid-century bungalows in the streets that filled in during the 1960s and 70s, to newer acreage builds on the outskirts. Stonewall is a community where most contractors come from Winnipeg, but Trudel Roofing takes work here regularly enough that the logistics are predictable.
Three patterns describe roofing work in Stonewall and the surrounding Interlake area: heritage town homes near the centre with character-home roofing patterns, mid-century housing similar to Winnipeg’s post-war bungalow belts, and acreage properties with multiple buildings that benefit from being quoted as a single project rather than one building at a time.
The older heritage homes in Stonewall’s town core share patterns with character homes in Winnipeg neighbourhoods, original soffit and fascia at end of life, eavestroughs that have pulled away from the fascia over the years, and ventilation that doesn’t meet current standards. These are the more complex projects in the area, where careful flashing and trim work pays off.
The acreage properties, common in the rural area north of Stonewall and out toward the Interlake, typically have a main house plus a garage, sometimes a shop or outbuilding, and the occasional flat-roof section over an addition. Quoting the whole property at once means we catch issues that spread across buildings (a leak in the garage that’s traveling to the house, soffit ventilation issues that connect attic spaces) and we keep the per-building cost lower than handling each separately.
In Stonewall and the Interlake area we handle full asphalt roof replacement, roof repair for leaks and storm damage, eavestrough installation and replacement, and flat roofing for additions, shops, and outbuildings.
For acreage properties we typically quote the full property, house, garage, shop, outbuildings, as a single project to keep costs reasonable and catch cross-building issues that would otherwise be missed.
If you’re in Stonewall or the surrounding Interlake area and you’ve got roofing or exterior work coming up, get in touch. We’ll come look at the property, give you a written quote within 72 hours, and group the work efficiently where it makes sense.
