Roofing in Lakefield
Built for village homes and lake wind
Lakefield roofs work harder than most. The village streets are lined with century homes that carry steep pitches and board decking under the shingles, and the wind that comes up Katchewanooka Lake finds every tab that was nailed high or has started to lift. After a big spring blow we often field two or three calls from the village in a single morning.
On the older homes we replace roofs the slow, correct way. That means a full tear-off, any plank that has gone soft replaced and new underlayment down before a single shingle goes on. On repairs we match the shingle as closely as the sun allows, and we tell you honestly how many winters the rest of the roof has left. We also install eavestrough sized for the mature trees that hang over Regent and Queen streets, so meltwater goes to the lawn instead of the foundation.
A recent job
A wind repair on Regent Street
In May 2026 a homeowner on Regent Street called after an overnight wind took a run of shingles off the west slope of her 1902 home. We were on the roof the next morning. We replaced two courses and re-nailed the ridge cap, and she got photos of everything we touched. The repair came in at $520, exactly what the written quote said, and the rest of the roof earned an honest pass for several more winters.
Getting to you
Close enough to come back
We are about 20 minutes from our Chemong Road shop, up Water Street and along the river, and we are in Lakefield most weeks between the village streets and the cottage lanes north of the bridge. When you call in March about the shingles you lost in November, you get someone who already knows your street.
We also work in Bridgenorth and Douro. The full list of what we do is on our services page.
Common questions
Lakefield questions we hear most
Do you repair wind damage on Lakefield roofs?
Yes. Wind off Katchewanooka Lake takes shingles off village roofs every spring and fall. Most wind repairs start from $450 as of June 2026, and we photograph the damage first so you can see exactly what the wind took. If the rest of the roof is sound, we say so and leave it alone.
Can you replace the roof on a century home in Lakefield village?
Yes, and we do several each year. Older village homes usually have board decking, so we tear off completely, replace any board that has gone soft and only then lay the new underlayment and shingles. You see photos of the decking before we close it in.
How fast can you get to Lakefield after a storm?
Usually within a day or two, and faster if water is getting in. We tarp first when we have to, then price the repair properly in a written quote. Call (705) 555-0163 and tell us what you can see from the driveway.

We get on the roof and photograph what we find, then give you a straight answer. If it just needs a small repair, that is what we will tell you.
