Roof leaking? Call Vanessa — 613-801-8582. Guns N' Hoses Ottawa handles repairs, full replacements, flat roofing, metal roofing, and skylight installation for homeowners across Ottawa. We've been doing this for 13 years. If something's wrong with your roof, we'll tell you honestly what it needs.
Response within 24 hours, guaranteed.
Six focused services for Ottawa homeowners. Every job is quoted in writing and completed to Ontario Building Code standards.
Leak Detection & Targeted Fixes
A single leak or a few damaged shingles doesn't always mean a full replacement. We diagnose the problem and fix what needs fixing — nothing more.
CertainTeed & CRC Products
The most common roofing system in Ottawa. We work with CertainTeed and CRC products specifically because of their performance through Ottawa winters — installed to Ontario Building Code standards every time.
Full Removal & Installation
When a roof is past repair, we handle the full removal and replacement. Written quote before any work starts. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Built for Canadian Conditions
Flat roofs in Ottawa face unique drainage challenges through freeze-thaw season. We install and repair flat roofing systems built for Canadian conditions.
40–70 Year Lifespan
A metal roof installed correctly lasts 40–70 years in Ottawa's climate. Low maintenance, highly durable, and increasingly common in the neighbourhoods we serve.
Installation & Leak Repair
Leaking or fogged skylights are one of the most common calls we get in spring. We install new skylights and repair existing ones with proper flashing and waterproofing.
“Vanessa and her team did my parents' roof a few months back. She was very quick to respond and communication was great. She had a lot of patience explaining things to my parents as they don't speak English very well.”
— Jenn, South Keys, Ottawa
“I would highly recommend. We had a leak in our roof and Vanessa and her team were able to fix the issue in a timely manner. We will be using her services again.”
— Sunny, Gloucester
We've replaced roofs on single homes in Ashton Station using CertainTeed Landmark shingles in Moire Black. Mansard roofs in Kanata Lakes in CRC Biltmore Dual Brown. Bungalows in Orleans in CertainTeed Driftwood. We've worked on the Experimental Farm's Dairy Barn — a landmark most Ottawa residents have driven past a hundred times.
The materials are specific because the job demands it. The right shingle for an Orleans bungalow isn't the same as the right system for a Kanata Lakes mansard roof.

Heritage Barn Roof Restoration
Ottawa's winters push roofs harder than most Canadian cities. Snow accumulates, warms slightly, begins to melt, then refreezes — repeatedly, all winter long. An ice dam at the eaves can weigh as much as a full-size pickup truck. When that water finds a weakness, it doesn't stay outside.
Every installation we do meets Ontario Building Code requirements — ice shield extending a minimum of 900mm up the slope and 300mm past the interior wall line. On most jobs we go further than that, because code minimum and Ottawa minimum aren't always the same thing.
Spring is also when most Ottawa homeowners discover what winter left behind. If you haven't had your roof looked at since the snow cleared, that's the right time.
Roof pitch, number of existing shingle layers, and material choice all affect the final number. Ottawa Building Code allows a maximum of two shingle layers — if your roof already has two, full removal is required before replacement.
