1. Rainbow Roofing & Renovations
Address: 151 Reis Rd.
Phone: +1 613 599 0010

Rainbow Roofing & Renovations impressed us with their dedication to quality and customer satisfaction. We immediately saw that they’re not just about fixing roofs but offering comprehensive roofing solutions, from repairs to full replacements.
What stood out most was their transparent process—they offer free estimates and clear financing solutions, which is a big relief for those stressed about costs.
We were introduced to their variety of services, not just limited to residential roofing but also commercial projects. Their seasoned team uses top-quality materials and cutting-edge techniques, ensuring that every repair is built to last.
Additionally, customer service is seamless; they maintain open lines of communication, so we were kept in the loop throughout the project. We also still like their rewards program, which provides extra value through maintenance packages and discounts for future services.
One potential downside we noted was the long wait times in their schedule as they seem to be very busy. On the other hand, their being in-demand speaks tons about their quality of service!
Professional and courteous crew
“We are delighted with our new roof by rainbow. They assessed and then replaced the plywood, which proved to be rotten and unsafe. The whole job was well managed and the crew was courteous and good to work with.”
-Marion Agnew, Google Review
Quick response and reliable service
“Have used Rainbow Roofing twice before to replace our roof and did not hesitate to call them when we developed a leak. Quick response to our problem and we are now leak free from a vent and broken tile caused by the severe winds we have been subjected to of late … Thank you Rainbow Roofing.”

2. Roofmaster Ottawa Inc.
Address: 163 MacFarlane Rd, Nepean
Phone: +1 613 521 0088
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 4 PM
Roofmaster Ottawa Inc. has truly established itself as a top-tier roofing service provider in Ottawa. With more than 35 years of experience has grown exponentially, servicing nearly 17,000 jobs.
Another aspect that impressed us was their comprehensive range of services, which includes shingle roofing, metal roofing, and flat roofing. They also do specialised tasks such as chimney repairs, masonry work, and skylight installations.
We were able to observe how meticulous their process is, right from initial inspections to detailed assessments—every critical aspect of the roof was scrutinised!
We also liked their commitment to customer support—from providing detailed estimates and transparent communication to the follow-up care that’s critical in this industry. Even better, some of the previous clients we spoke to echoed this.
However, most of us noted that, while their services are exemplary, the rates are high. Although, the added benefit of financing options makes their roofing services more accessible.
Smooth and efficient process
“Roofmaster replaced a roof on our house in November 2024. The company provided an excellent services . The whole process, from providing the estimate and explaining in detail what and how it would be done to the final invoice ,was done in a very professional and friendly manner. The timing, the quality of work, the communications with the site manager and office manager were very smooth and efficient. We are very happy that we came across this company. Thank you, Roofmaster. David”
-David Kraychik, Google Review
Detailed options without upselling
“From our first online query until the truck pulled away, our experience with Roofmaster was better than we could have hoped. On presenting our problem (a roof leak – on a roof nearing the end of its useful life) the staff at Roofmaster gave us several options and explained them all in detail. I didn’t feel at any time that I was being ‘upsold’ on a course of action to take.
The crew that did the work was hardworking and considerate of our house and property. And by hardworking – I mean VERY hardworking – they didn’t waste any time at getting at it and stayed that way for the duration of the project. The extra care they took to police up even the smallest waste was not lost on us either. Great ambassadors for the company.”

My friend asked me to come with him to Wolfenburg Roofing for his house’s roof problem, and I have to tell you this place genuinely left an impression on us.
First off, Wolfenburg Roofing is fully licensed and insured, which already gives a good sense of security. Even better, they boast an expertise in flat roof replacement and repairs for both residential and commercial projects.
When we dove deeper into their services, we noted how comprehensive their offerings are. From roof replacement and waterproofing to insulation and emergency repairs, they pretty much have it all.
Plus, they’re authorised to work with most major roofing manufacturers, so you know you’re getting top-tier materials and warranties.
The guys at Wolfenburg take customer service seriously, which was evident when we saw how they encouraged open communication throughout the project.
We must mention that their prices are on the higher side. But considering the quality and good service, we think it’s a fair trade-off.
Exceptional response and efficiency
“Wolfenburg responded to my inquiry very quickly and visited the site to give me a full inspection and opinion. I had a leak and our roof was due for a replacement. They were very professional with communication and the process. There was no major issue during the roof installation, they were quick and efficient. I’m glad that we can rely on them. Definitely recommend.”
-Stephanie Wang, Google Review
High-quality work and great communication
“Very happy with the service we got from Wolfenburg Roofing. We got our roof replaced earlier this year. The job was done quickly, the work was high quality, and the price was fair. Danny, Justin and the team communicated well with us leading up to the job and after. And their team accommodated several difficult realities of doing jobs downtown, such as narrow, shared laneways and limited parking. Would recommend!”

4. Central City Roofing Inc
Address: 623 Sunburst St.

Central City Roofing stands out for their comprehensive list of services. Their shingle repair, skylight replacement, and ice damming assessment are popular services that put them on the map for Ottawa homeowners.
What’s more, they also handle flashing repairs and bathroom and kitchen vents and even offer ventilation upgrades to prolong the life of your roof. Their roofing inspection process is also a great way to catch little issues before they become a big problem.
We saw how they use high-quality materials, which is something that previous clients couldn’t stop raving about.
Of course, this great and meticulous service comes with a high price. Fortunately, our communication with them was clear and consistent as well, and we were happy with how they kept us informed every step of the way.
Personalized care and efficiency
“Great experience. Super fast, efficient, friendly. Had the work done last week and not a single issue with the work done. When you look for someone to work on your home, the most important thing is finding someone who’s going to take as much care with your house as if it’s your own. Abbas, being the owner, absolutely understands this. I will most certainly be calling for my next repair”
-Christie Saikaly, Google Review
High-quality workmanship and reliability

5. Vanity Roofing Ottawa
Address: 2838 Carp Rd Unit 3, Carp
Phone: +1 613 851 4448
Business Hours:
- Monday to Saturday – 8 AM to 9 PM
- Sunday – 10 AM to 5 PM
Vanity Roofing provides a wide array of services, from residential and commercial roofing to more niche services like soffit and fascia, siding, and even blown-in attic insulation.
One thing that we really liked was how the team really took the time to explain their process. Moreover, we noticed that they meticulously plan and execute each project—we saw how this impacted their process, making it seamless.
Another impressive aspect about Vanity Roofing is they have over 50 years of collective experience. Additionally, they maintain an A rating with the Better Business Bureau.
Their customer support is also great—always responsive and attentive to all of our enquiries.
While we appreciate their very affordable rates, we do wish for quicker service and more efficient scheduling. From our interviews, we noted some complaints from their previous clients regarding delays or long queues.
The biggest plus in our books, though, is their 24/7 emergency roof repair service, which is a real convenience for Ottawans!
Timely completion and effective protection
“Thanks to Tony and the whole crew. We needed our roof redone and left it until late in the season. Tony was able to put us on the list and complete the job before the cold weather set in. The job is very well done with a great warranty. I was not there when the work was done, but my neighbour was eager to tell me that the job was done professionally. The roof had to be covered as rain was expected at the end of the first day. It was completely protected and the work completed promptly after the rain stopped. It was a great experience and I would recommend Vanity for any roofing job. I will definitely use them in the future.”
-Patty Fraser, Google Review
Thorough explanation and punctual service
“Highly recommend Vanity. First class treatment throughout. Tony was great. Explained all of the options. Install team was on time worked hard. Good cleanup. Very happy with our new roof.”
