ToggleAt Godfrey Roofing, safety is the foundation of every project we undertake. Roofing is inherently high-risk work, and the protection of our employees, your family, and your property is our most important deliverable.
Since 1984, we have maintained a rigorous safety culture that exceeds provincial requirements. We don’t just follow safety protocols; we set the standard for the Ottawa roofing industry.
At Godfrey Roofing Inc., safety is our first priority. Through training and supervision, our employees are able to operate in a safe work environment. We believe strongly that safe work practices coincide with quality workmanship.
Roofing accidents are not inherent to the roofing trade, but rather occur due to improper training and unsafe work methods. Training, strong communication, and thorough planning result in both a safer work environment and higher quality of service.
We believe that management is ultimately responsible for safety. Our Health and Safety policy developed in-house ensures that all workers are properly trained, and work practices follow all provincial safety standards.
Our Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) rating sits at one of the best in the industry. Our job site safety audits and weekly tailgate meetings ensure compliance with our health and safety policy. This provides us with the ability to proactively make changes in the workplace to avoid potential safety issues.
Every technician on a Godfrey Roofing job site has undergone extensive safety training. This includes Working at Heights certification, WHMIS training, and specialized equipment operation. We conduct regular “Toolbox Talks” to ensure that the latest safety techniques and hazard awareness are fresh in our team’s minds.
Your peace of mind is paramount. Godfrey Roofing is fully insured and in good standing with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).
Safety extends to the ground level. We treat your property with the same respect we treat our own.
Our safety commitment is validated by third-party organizations, ensuring that our internal culture matches international standards for excellence.

I’d call them again in a minute. Couldn’t have been a better experience.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Like many I have bounced between one roofer after another. My father had substantial issues after hiring one roofer for his house. Ice dams and water trickling into the house was an ongoing concern for him. I had the same issues with our house after I had hired another roofer. My father's issues had been rectified after hiring Godfrey Roofing. After seeing his results I hired Godfrey Roofing as well. They analyzed the issues from the previous roofer, explained the problem and fixed it. We are two generations that would not use any other roofer.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
