Guns N' Hoses has completed roofing projects across Orleans — from bungalow replacements in Queenswood Heights to repairs on newer builds in Avalon and Chapel Hill. We know the east end's housing stock and what Orleans roofs actually need.
Queenswood Heights, Cardinal Creek, Avalon, Chapel Hill, Fallingbrook & beyond.
Orleans stretches along the Ottawa River from Queenswood Heights and Cardinal Creek in the west to Chapel Hill, Avalon, and Fallingbrook in the east. It is one of Ottawa's largest and most diverse communities — bilingual, family-oriented, and with a housing stock that ranges from 1960s and 70s bungalows in the older western sections to large newer builds in Avalon and Notting Hill. Guns N' Hoses works across all of Orleans — repairs on aging bungalows, full replacements on homes hitting the 20 to 25 year mark, and ventilation corrections on newer builds where ice dams have become a recurring winter problem.
CertainTeed Driftwood
Residential — Roof Replacement
Bungalows are one of the most common roof types we work on across Orleans. The low slope on many Orleans bungalows requires careful attention to ice shield coverage and ventilation — both of which we address as standard practice on every job.
CertainTeed Driftwood is one of the most popular shingle selections in Ottawa for good reason — it works with a wide range of exterior colours and holds up well through Ottawa's freeze-thaw cycles. This Orleans bungalow was completed in a single day.
View full galleryThe western sections of Orleans have housing stock from the 1960s and 70s. Many of these homes are on their second or third roof. Deck condition is always a priority on homes this age — we inspect thoroughly during every pre-replacement assessment and quote any deck repairs in writing before work begins.
Homes built in Avalon and Chapel Hill in the late 1990s and early 2000s are now 20 to 25 years old — at or near the end of the rated lifespan for original asphalt shingles. Many Orleans homeowners in these areas are starting to see granule loss, lifting shingle edges, and flashing failures that signal a replacement is coming soon.
Orleans has a high concentration of bungalows with low-slope roof sections. Low slopes accumulate more snow and are more vulnerable to ice dam water intrusion than steeper pitched roofs. As Ventilation Maximum certified contractors, Guns N' Hoses addresses the ventilation conditions that create ice dams — not just the ice dams themselves.
Newer subdivisions in Notting Hill and surrounding areas frequently develop early flashing failures around pipe boots, skylights, and wall intersections within the first 10 to 15 years. These are inexpensive repairs when caught early and expensive water damage when left. We identify and fix these during inspection.
