Nepean has some of Ottawa's most established neighbourhoods — and some of Ottawa's oldest roofs. Guns N' Hoses has been repairing and replacing roofs across Nepean since 2017. We know the housing stock, the common problems, and what a Nepean roof actually needs.
Bells Corners, Merivale, Craig Henry, Qualicum, Centrepointe & beyond.
Nepean stretches from Bells Corners in the west to Merivale and Craig Henry in the east, with established neighbourhoods like Meadowlands, Qualicum, Parkwood Hills, and Centrepointe throughout. The majority of Nepean's housing stock was built between 1965 and 1995 — which means most original roofs have already been replaced once, and many second-generation roofs are now approaching or past their rated lifespan. Guns N' Hoses works across all of Nepean with a particular focus on honest assessment — we will tell you whether your roof needs repair, replacement, or neither.
Homes in Qualicum, Craig Henry, and Parkwood Hills built in the 1970s and early 80s often have roof decks that have seen significant moisture over the decades. When we replace a roof on a home this age we inspect the deck carefully — soft spots, delaminating plywood, and damaged sheathing are common findings that need to be addressed before new shingles go on.
Homes built across Nepean in the 1990s in areas like Meadowlands, Barrhaven Road corridor, and Centrepointe had their first roof replacement roughly 10 to 15 years ago. Many of those replacements are now aging and approaching the point where a second assessment makes sense.
Nepean has a high concentration of bungalows and split-level homes, many of which have low-slope or flat sections over additions and garages. These sections require flat roofing systems and are among the most common repair calls we receive in the area.
Homes built before 1990 in Nepean were rarely built with adequate attic ventilation by modern standards. This leads to ice dams, elevated heating costs, and premature shingle wear. As Ventilation Maximum certified contractors, we assess and correct ventilation as part of every replacement we do in older Nepean homes.

“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.”
