About

In 1954, Ed Wilson decided to expand his already successful siding and eavestroughing business to include residential roofing as well, and thus, Wilson’s Roofing was formed. With the help of his son, Steve, the business began to grow as a trusted name in roofing throughout the Durham Region.

Today, Wilson’s Roofing stands as one of the longest serving roofing specialists in the area, with over 20 employees and more than 19,500 satisfied customers. With over 3 generations of service, our family owned and operated business remains focused on our foundations of honesty, hard work and integrity.

From the time that our business formed in 1954, we have offered a 10-year guarantee on our workmanship for all re-roofing projects. If you experience any issues with your roof during that time frame, we will respond immediately and free of charge.

And even after our 10-year guarantee has expired, we are glad to assist you with any applicable manufacturer warranties.

At Wilson’s Roofing, we have stood behind our work for over 50 years and have built a trusting relationship with our customers, which is why we continue to receive compliments and word-of-mouth recommendations.
