Skilled roofing for the Cheese Capital of Canada — protecting Ingersoll homes with craftsmanship that lasts.
Ingersoll may be best known as the Cheese Capital of Canada, but to 519 Roofing it is a community of well-maintained homes, proud property owners, and a historic downtown that rivals any small town in the province. Situated along the Thames River in Oxford County, Ingersoll's compact layout concentrates a rich variety of housing styles within its borders — from the limestone and brick heritage buildings along Thames Street to the comfortable postwar residential streets that radiate outward from the town centre. More recently, development along the Highway 401 corridor has added modern subdivisions that draw families looking for affordable homes within commuting distance of London and Woodstock. Our roofing services in Ingersoll span this entire range, and we bring a depth of experience that allows us to handle everything from a delicate heritage restoration to a high-efficiency new-build installation. The Thames River valley creates its own microclimate here, with fog and humidity levels that can accelerate moss growth and shingle deterioration, while winter ice storms pose a recurring threat to roofs throughout Oxford County. We factor these conditions into every recommendation we make, ensuring Ingersoll homeowners get solutions that truly perform over the long term.
Ingersoll's heritage homes are among the town's greatest assets, but their roofing systems demand specialized knowledge when it comes time for replacement. Many of these properties feature steep pitches, decorative gable ends, and multiple dormers that require careful measurement and expert installation technique. Our crews have completed numerous heritage-area replacements in Ingersoll, and we coordinate with homeowners to select materials that honour the building's architectural character while delivering modern performance. For Ingersoll's more conventional housing stock — the side-splits, ranch homes, and two-storeys built from the 1950s through the 1990s — replacement is often driven by shingles that have reached the end of their rated lifespan. We see a lot of three-tab shingles from the early 2000s that are curling and losing granules, and upgrading to an architectural laminate dramatically improves both weather resistance and curb appeal. As the National Roofing Contractors Association advises, hiring a qualified professional for roof replacement protects your investment and ensures the manufacturer's warranty remains valid. Our roofing services in Ingersoll always include registered warranties and detailed documentation for your records.
A leaking roof does not wait for a convenient time, and 519 Roofing responds to repair calls across Ingersoll promptly. Common issues we address include damaged or missing shingles caused by wind events, leaks at chimney and skylight flashings, and deteriorating rubber boots around plumbing vent pipes. Ingersoll's river-valley setting means some properties contend with higher-than-average humidity, which can contribute to algae and moss growth on north-facing roof slopes — a cosmetic issue that, left unchecked, can lead to moisture retention and premature shingle failure. We also frequently repair eavestroughing and soffit damage caused by ice buildup during winter months. Our repair assessments are thorough and transparent: we identify the root cause, explain our findings, and present options that respect your budget. When a repair can deliver several more years of reliable service, we support that decision. When the evidence points toward replacement being the more cost-effective path, we lay out the numbers honestly so you can plan accordingly. Roofing services in Ingersoll work best when they are built on clear communication between contractor and homeowner.

"519 Roofing replaced our roof on Charles Street and the difference is night and day. They found rotten decking in two areas that the previous roofer had just shingled over. Everything was fixed properly and the new roof is beautiful. Honest crew, fair price."
