A high-quality roof does far more than protect a structure—it defines how a property performs, looks, and even values.
That’s why we’ve made it our priority at Godfrey Roofing to go beyond standard roofing services and provide specialty roof systems tailored to meet the unique needs of every client.
Whether you’re a homeowner looking for long-term protection or a business owner requiring high-performance roofing, our specialty roof systems are designed to bring lasting value, function, and style.
The Advantage of Going Beyond the Basics
Traditional roofing systems work well in many cases, but some properties require more advanced solutions. Harsh weather, architectural complexity, building use, and aesthetic goals influence the best roof. Our specialty roof systems are designed to meet these challenges head-on.
Combining innovative materials with expert installation practices, we help our clients protect their properties while elevating their curb appeal and increasing their property’s performance. Specialty roof Systems aren’t just about standing out—they’re about lasting longer, working harder, and delivering superior results.
Specialty Roof Systems Built for Ottawa’s Weather
We understand that roofing in Ottawa demands more than just good looks. Our region experiences extreme seasonal changes—snow, ice, rain, sun, and high winds—that can quickly wear down inferior roofing materials.
That’s why we offer Specialty Roof Systems specifically engineered for local weather conditions. For example, our specialty flat roofing systems use advanced membranes with superior waterproofing, UV resistance, and durability.
We also provide sloped roofing materials like metal and architectural shingles engineered to withstand freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow loads. Our Specialty Roof Systems team ensures each system is properly ventilated and installed to prevent common problems like ice damming and moisture buildup.
Customized for Commercial and Residential Properties
Each property type has its roofing demands. Commercial buildings often require low-maintenance, energy-efficient roofing systems and supporting equipment like HVAC units or solar panels. Residential properties may call for visually appealing finishes, integrated skylights, or long-lasting shingles that enhance resale value.
Our specialty offerings include metal roofing, green roofs, flat and low-slope membranes (like TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen), and insulated systems. These systems are designed flexibly, allowing us to tailor each solution to your building’s performance and appearance goals.
Durability That Pays Off
A specialty roof system may have a higher upfront cost than conventional options, but the long-term return on investment can be significant. 
Many clients enjoy longer warranties, fewer repair calls, and lower energy bills thanks to better insulation and reflectivity. Metal roofs, for example, can last more than 50 years with minimal maintenance.
Flat membrane systems can significantly reduce the risk of leaks, protecting everything beneath the roof from costly water damage. Investing in a specialty system ultimately results in peace of mind, decreasing costs over time, and stronger overall property value.
Enhancing Curb Appeal and Architectural Value
While function is crucial, aesthetics matter too. Your roof is one of the most visible elements of your property. Our specialty roofing systems come in various styles, finishes, and colours to complement any design, whether modernizing a commercial space or preserving the character of a heritage home.
We work closely with architects, designers, and property owners to select the right materials and profiles to match the building’s character and surrounding landscape.
With options like standing seam metal panels, designer shingles, and even solar-integrated roofing, we help your building make the best possible impression.
Expertise You Can Rely On
No roofing system performs well without proper installation. That’s why we prioritize workmanship, not just materials.
Our team is factory-trained in the systems we install, and we follow strict quality control procedures to ensure every detail is correct, from flashing to fasteners. We’re also transparent and communicative throughout the process.
We provide clear proposals, realistic timelines, and expert advice so our clients can make informed decisions without pressure. Our goal is not just to install a roof, but to provide a complete service experience you can rely on from start to finish.
