Protecting London homes and businesses with quality craftsmanship since 2009.
As the largest city in Southwestern Ontario, London presents a remarkable cross-section of roofing challenges that few other communities can match. From the century-old homes tucked along tree-lined streets in Old North and Wortley Village to the sprawling subdivisions rising in the city's northwest corridor, 519 Roofing has become the contractor London homeowners call first. Our crews understand the unique demands of the Forest City — the heavy lake-effect snow that rolls in from Lake Huron, the severe thunderstorms that barrel across Middlesex County every summer, and the freeze-thaw cycles that test roofing materials from November through April. Whether your home sits near the forks of the Thames River or overlooks the campus of Western University, our roofing services in London are designed to deliver lasting protection tailored to your property. We have completed hundreds of projects across every London neighbourhood, and our familiarity with local building codes and permit processes ensures every job meets or exceeds municipal requirements.
London's housing stock spans well over a century, and many homes in established neighbourhoods like Old East Village, Westmount, and Byron are reaching the point where a full roof replacement is the smartest long-term investment. Architectural shingles installed in the late 1990s and early 2000s are now approaching — or past — the end of their expected lifespan. Our roofing services in London include thorough tear-off of old materials, a detailed inspection of the deck and underlayment, and installation of a new system engineered for Ontario's climate. We frequently see damage caused by ice damming along eavestroughs, and during replacement we address ventilation deficiencies that contribute to this problem. London's mix of bungalows, two-storey war-time builds, and modern open-concept homes each require a different approach, and our estimators take the time to recommend the right materials and techniques for your specific roof structure. Every replacement we perform is backed by registered manufacturer warranties, giving London homeowners peace of mind that lasts decades.
Not every roofing problem demands a full replacement. Sudden storm damage, a handful of missing shingles, or a persistent leak around a chimney or skylight can often be resolved with a targeted roof repair. In London, summer storms with damaging hail and high winds are an annual reality, and we respond quickly to emergency calls across the city. Our repair team handles everything from flashing replacements and vent boot sealing to soffit and fascia restoration. We also address issues unique to London's older housing stock, including deteriorated plywood decking hidden beneath multiple layers of old shingles — a situation we encounter regularly in Woodfield and Hamilton Road corridor homes. When we perform a repair, we provide an honest assessment of whether patching is cost-effective or whether the roof's overall condition suggests planning for a replacement in the near future. Transparent advice is central to how 519 Roofing operates in London and across every community we serve.
519 Roofing offers London homeowners a comprehensive selection of roofing materials to suit every budget and aesthetic preference. Our most popular choice remains asphalt shingles from Owens Corning, available in a wide range of colours and styles that complement London's diverse architectural landscape. For homeowners seeking superior durability and a modern look, our metal roofing systems are roll-formed on-site for a precision fit. We are also proud to be a preferred installer of Euroshield rubber roofing, an eco-friendly option made from recycled tires that stands up exceptionally well to hail. Additionally, our team installs and replaces skylights, bringing natural light into London homes while maintaining a watertight seal. Whatever material you choose, we ensure proper installation backed by both our workmanship guarantee and the manufacturer's warranty.
Founded in 2009, 519 Roofing has grown into one of Southwestern Ontario's most trusted roofing contractors by putting quality and honesty ahead of volume. We hold preferred contractor status with both Owens Corning and Euroshield, reflecting our commitment to professional installation standards and ongoing training. Our team lives and works in the communities we serve, and our reputation in London has been built one roof at a time — through careful workmanship, fair pricing, and straightforward communication.

"We had three quotes for our roof replacement in Old North. 519 Roofing was the most thorough by far — they actually went into our attic to check ventilation before quoting. The crew was professional and finished in two days. Couldn't be happier."
