Durability • Expertise • Built for Our Weather
Are you thinking about getting a new roof? When you choose Shockwave Roofing, that job turns into a smart investment rather than just another home repair. We proudly cover London, Stratford, Woodstock, Ingersoll, Strathroy, St. Thomas, and the surrounding areas with install work that mixes hands-on skill and community experience.
What Makes a Roof Installation Stand Out?
A reliable roof doesn’t just sit on top; it starts long before the shingles arrive. Here’s how we lay a solid foundation:
Full Tear-Off or Overlay: – Every project begins with a careful inspection. If the old roofing is shot, we strip it back to the decking, lay down fresh underlayment, and build a base that promises both good looks and lasting strength.
Ice & Water Shielding: – Along eaves, valleys, dormer edges, and around skylights, we place heavy-duty ice and water barriers. This extra line of defense handles Ontario’s freeze-thaw swings and sudden storms with ease.
Ventilation & Insulation: – Our roof systems follow local codes to keep your attic breathing right. Good airflow thwarts moisture, helping shingles last longer and cutting down on nasty mold.
Precision Flashing & Trim: – Leak-prone spots get special treatment. We meticulously seal flashings and vents using only top-grade materials that meet strict manufacturer specs, so you won’t find water creeping in later.
Certified Quality Materials
We install asphalt shingles from top brands like GAF and IKO, and every project comes with manufacturer-backed warranties that cover both materials and labor.

What Happens During Your Roof Replacement?
Tear-Off and Prep
First things first, we strip off the old shingles and any damaged underlayment. Next, we carefully check the roof decking for weak spots, replacing or reinforcing boards as needed. Finally, a fresh layer of ice-and-water shield goes down in critical areas before we install the underlayment.
Installing Shingles and Flashing
Once the prep work is done, the real fun begins. The new shingles are laid out with precision so each row overlaps perfectly. We pay extra attention to every nail, sealant bead, and flashing piece around vents, chimneys, and valleys. A roof that looks great is nice, but a roof that keeps water out is better.
Clean-Up and Walk-Through
When the last shingle is down, we tackle the clean-up. Our crew collects all the shingles, nails, and scraps, then runs a magnetic sweeper on the lawn to catch anything we might have missed. Afterward, we’ll invite you up—or meet you at the door if you prefer—to go over the new roof together and answer any final questions.
Warranty and Care Tips
Before we leave, we hand you the warranty paperwork and a brief guide on how to keep your roof in top shape. Topics like gutter clearing, spotting loose shingles, and when to call us for an inspection are covered, so you don’t have to guess.
