Editorial Review
Our Take on Godfrey Roofing Inc.
Godfrey Roofing is one of the longer-running roofers in the city, and the certification list is unusually deep for a firm that also takes ordinary house jobs. The 4.8 rating across 200 reviews backs up the paperwork. Expect a larger company's process rather than a one-truck operation.
Best forHomeowners and property managers wanting a long-established, manufacturer-certified roofer
What We Like
- In business since 1984 as a second generation family company
- GAF Master Elite and GAF Master Commercial certified, with Soprema and IKO recognition
- Fully insured, with $5 million liability cover and WSIB good standing stated on its safety page
- Reviewers praise quick repairs, careful site protection and thorough cleanup
- Financing through Snap Home Finance, up to 15 years, with free estimates
Things to Consider
- The website publishes no prices or warranty terms, so get them in a written quote
- Office hours are weekdays only, 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM; the 24/7 emergency line is listed for commercial clients
- One reviewer's crew needed a second day to finish metal work on an addition, and a large firm may be more than a small patch repair needs

Company Background
About Godfrey Roofing Inc.
Godfrey Roofing Inc. began in 1984 as a small family business and is now run as a second generation company out of Southclark Place in Gloucester, part of the City of Ottawa. That history matters when you are buying a roof that should outlast a mortgage term, because a warranty is only as good as the firm still standing behind it. The company says it honours its warranties and ties them to manufacturer certifications rather than to its own promises alone.
The work covers three markets: homeowners, commercial buildings and multifamily properties. For houses, Godfrey lists shingle roof replacement, cedar, metal and specialty systems, residential flat roofs, repairs, maintenance, skylights and sun tunnels, siding, and snow and ice removal. Commercial clients get flat roof replacement, inspections, coatings, steep slope work, maintenance and asset management, plus a 24/7 emergency commercial roofing service. Residential service covers Barrhaven, Kanata, Manotick, Nepean and Orleans, along with the wider Ottawa area.
The credentials are specific. The website lists GAF Master Elite and GAF Master Commercial status, Soprema certification, IKO and BP Weather-Tite Certified Roofer recognition, a GAF Triple Excellence Award and the GAF President's Club Residential Award. It also shows BBB accreditation and memberships in the CRCA, OIRCA, NRCA, OCA and the Roofing Consultants Institute, and states that the firm is ISO 9001 certified. Its safety page says every technician has Working at Heights and WHMIS training, that it carries $5 million in liability insurance and that it is in good standing with the WSIB.
Recent Google reviews are consistently positive and often name the crew. One homeowner had a roof damaged by raccoons repaired by Paul and Mike before winter. Another customer had the roof replaced in 2021 and called Paul and his daughter back in 2026 for a worn shed roof, calling Paul a perfectionist. A seller needing a fast repair said Mike's team was on site the next morning, and one reviewer thanked Mike, Maureen, Wes, Paul, Blair and Nazam by name. Reviewers also mention a thorough quote, a competitive price, careful protection of the gardens and a clean site afterwards. The one small snag in the reviews came on an addition roof, where the crew had to return the next day to finish the metal work, though the customer said everything was watertight before they left.
Google shows 4.8 from 200 reviews, read October 16, 2026. The website does not publish warranty terms or prices, so those come only from a quote. Financing is offered through Snap Home Finance, with terms of up to 15 years listed on the company's financing page.
Who it suits: homeowners and property managers who want an established firm with manufacturer-backed warranties, and commercial or multifamily buyers who need documented safety and insurance. Who it suits less well: anyone shopping on price alone, or wanting a very small crew for a minor patch job, since a company of this size may be more than the job needs. Ontario has no provincial roofing licence, so before booking ask for a current WSIB clearance certificate, proof of liability insurance and a written contract that states the materials, the warranty and the payment schedule.
