Local Knowledge
Built for Waterloo Region Weather
Roofs in Kitchener and Waterloo take a beating. Even a well-built roof needs regular attention to stay watertight through everything a local year throws at it.
That's why we install roofing systems designed for this climate — and why we recommend having your roof looked at after severe weather, not just when a leak appears. Catching a lifted shingle in October is a lot cheaper than repairing water damage in February.
Winter
Heavy snow loads and ice buildup along the eaves.
Spring & Fall
Freeze-thaw cycles that work water into small gaps and crack them wider each time.
Summer
Windstorms and heavy rain that lift shingles and test every seam.
We needed our roof replaced due to leaking skylights. Ken was quick to respond with a quote and it was the best price around. We also needed it done rather quick as we had a tarp over our roof. He understood the urgency and came out a few days later with his team to remove our skylight/replace our roof. They did such a great job we hired Ken and his team back to do the flashing around our garage doors. Next year, we hope to hire them back to do our siding. Overall, I would highly recommend Quality Care Roofing.

Roofing Advice for Waterloo Landlords
Waterloo's rental market, concentrated around the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University, means a lot of local homeowners are also landlords. As your Kitchener Waterloo roofer, here's what we tell landlords to keep on their radar:
Between Tenants
A quick roof check between move-outs can catch small deficiencies before a new lease starts — especially after a rough winter.
Insurance Considerations
A roof in poor condition can complicate coverage or a claim after storm damage. An inspection gives you documentation either way, before you need it.
Timing Repairs Around Vacancies
Scheduling bigger roof work between tenancies avoids disruption for renters and gives our crew clear access to the property.
Kitchener's Century Homes vs. Waterloo's New Builds
Kitchener and Waterloo don't have one roof profile — they have several. As a Kitchener Waterloo roofing company, here's what tends to come up depending on where in the region your home sits.
Older Core — Victoria Park & Cedar Hill
- Steep, complex rooflines with multiple valleys and dormers, common on homes built decades ago
- Original framing and ventilation that may need adapting to today's roofing materials
- Ice damming is a frequent concern where insulation and airflow haven't kept pace with the roof
Newer Builds & Rental Housing — Vista Hills, Columbia Forest & the University Corridor
- Simpler roof lines, but a lot of ground to cover across growing subdivisions
- A large share of student and rental housing near Waterloo's universities, where durable, low-maintenance materials matter to landlords
- Newer doesn't mean maintenance-free — a proper inspection still catches issues before they show up inside the house
Whether we're working around original framing on a century home in Kitchener or handling new roof installation across a subdivision in Waterloo, you get the same free inspection and the same in-house crew every time.
Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing in Kitchener-Waterloo
-
Yes. Along with roofing, we offer siding, gutter, and soffit and fascia services, so one team can look after your home's entire exterior. These parts work together: clogged or sagging gutters can back water up under your shingles, and blocked soffits cut off the airflow your attic needs. Handling them in one project means everything is inspected and installed to work as a system.
-
Every roof is different — size, pitch, materials, and current condition all affect the price. That's why we start with a free in-person inspection and estimate, so the number you get reflects your actual home, not a guess. -
On older homes, the roof's age matters as much as the damage itself. If the shingles are in reasonable shape overall and the problem is isolated, like a section lifted by a windstorm, a worn pipe collar, or a leak at the chimney, a targeted repair usually makes sense. If shingles are curling or shedding granules across most of the roof, the deck has gone soft, or you're patching a different spot every season, replacement is typically the better long-term value. Some older roofs also have a second layer of shingles hiding underneath, which factors into the decision. Our free inspection will tell you which side of that line your roof falls on.
-
Yes. If wind, ice, or heavy rain has damaged your roof, contact us and we'll assess the damage and recommend the right fix.
-
Yes — Quality Care Roofing is fully insured, and we're in good standing with the Better Business Bureau.
-
Our own in-house crews. We don't subcontract installations, which keeps our quality consistent and our timelines accurate.
-
Yes. We partner with Financeit so homeowners can pay for roof repairs and replacements in monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly instalments over 12 to 240 months. Applying takes seconds, won't affect your credit score, and doesn't obligate you to anything. Start with a free estimate, then apply through our Financeit page.
-
For most homes in the region, yes. Architectural shingles are thicker and heavier than older three-tab styles, which helps them resist wind and stand up to repeated freezing and thawing. But the shingle is only one part of the system. Eave protection where ice dams form, quality underlayment, well-sealed flashing, and proper attic ventilation have just as much to do with how your roof performs through a Waterloo Region winter. We'll walk you through the right setup for your home during your free estimate.
-
It might. These four neighbourhoods are Kitchener's heritage conservation districts, and homes inside them follow district plans that guide changes to a property's exterior. Depending on the plan, replacing shingles like-for-like may be handled differently from switching to a new material, colour, or roofline. Individually designated heritage properties outside these districts can have similar requirements. Before booking a replacement, check your property's status with the City of Kitchener's heritage planning staff so any approval is in place before work begins.
-
Because our own crews do the work, we can give you a realistic timeline before we start. What shifts a schedule is usually something nobody can see from the ground: soft or rotted decking under the old shingles, an extra layer that has to come off, or flashing around a chimney or skylight that needs rebuilding rather than reusing. Weather plays a role too, since a roof shouldn't be opened up ahead of rain or high winds. If anything changes once the old roof is off, we'll explain what it means for your schedule.
-
Note the date and time of the storm, then photograph anything you can see safely from the ground: missing shingles, debris on the lawn, fallen branches, dented gutters, and any water stains or drips inside. Keep receipts for emergency measures like tarping, since your insurer may ask what you did to prevent further damage. Don't climb onto the roof yourself. A professional inspection adds a written assessment of the damage, giving you a clearer picture to share with your insurance provider.
