Welland grew up around the canal and the industry that came with it, and a lot of the housing reflects that. The older streets near downtown and along the old canal have brick and wood-frame homes from the first half of the 1900s, along with postwar bungalows built for families who worked in the local plants. Many of these roofs have been re-shingled more than once, and some have layers stacked on top of each other. Chimneys, old valleys and porch roofs are the usual leak points. On a stacked roof we strip every layer, because new shingles laid over old ones never sit flat and wear out early.
Welland sits inland on flat ground, so it does not take the same lake wind as the shoreline towns, but it gets the full Niagara freeze-thaw cycle and heavy summer storms. Ice dams on low-pitched bungalows and overflowing eavestrough are the most common problems. Newer subdivisions on the edges of the city have younger roofs that still need the right attic venting to reach their full life. We also work on flat roofs for local shops, plazas and light industrial buildings.
Local Conditions
Roofing Issues Common to Welland Homes
-
Layered Older Roofs
Older homes near downtown often have two or more layers of shingles. We tear off to the deck, replace damaged boards and rebuild the flashing at chimneys and walls.
-
Bungalow Ice Dams
Postwar bungalows with shallow attics lose heat into the roof. Snow melts, refreezes at the eaves and backs up. Insulation, venting and ice-and-water shield fix it.
-
Summer Storm Runoff
Heavy summer rain overwhelms small or clogged eavestrough on flat lots. We install properly sized aluminum eavestrough and downspouts to move water away from your foundation.

I am beyond happy with the work that James Roofing did at my rental property. I had water damage from an incompatible roofing system that was put on by the previous company. From the beginning of my project, James was happy to answer any questions I had about proposed solutions and always made sure I understood all options available. The job was done when he said it would be, and on time. The crew was very polite with my tenants and cleaned up 100% after their work was done. I will be calling James Roofing again when my main roof needs replaced.

Honestly great experience from start to finish. I got the run around from a few other roofers before finding James Roofing. He was prompt in returning my phone calls, worked me in a few days earlier than originally planned and fixed the leak in my roof immediately and for a fair price. Would highly recommend to anybody looking for good, honest work

Questions
Roofing in Welland: common questions
Still unsure about something? Call us and talk to someone who actually works on roofs.
(289) 683-9727Do I need a building permit to re-roof in Welland?
Most residential re-roofs with similar materials do not need a building permit, but structural work may. We will confirm with the City of Welland before work starts.
Is a roof repair enough, or do I need a new roof?
If the roof is fairly young and the problem is limited to one area, a repair often makes sense. If shingles are curling, losing granules or leaking in more than one place, replacement is usually the better use of your money. We will show you what we see and let you decide.
Do you work in Dain City and Cooks Mills?
Yes. We serve all of Welland, including Dain City, Cooks Mills and the rural edges of the city. Call (289) 683-9727 to set up a free estimate.
Can you add insulation to my bungalow attic?
Yes. We add blown-in cellulose to bring the attic up toward modern levels such as R-60, install baffles so soffit vents stay open, and seal obvious air leaks. It helps with ice dams in winter and heat in summer.
