Roofing in Manitoba
What Manitoba roofing contractors work under
Manitoba splits permits between three kinds of authority, and Winnipeg publishes its own answer on re-shingling.
The 2020 codes and three permit authorities
Manitoba adopted the 2020 editions of the national model building, plumbing, energy and fire codes, effective January 1, 2024. Building permits are issued by one of three authorities: the municipality, the planning district or the province’s Inspection and Technical Services, depending on where the property is.

Re-shingling in Winnipeg
The City of Winnipeg lists replacing shingles with the same material among projects that typically do not need a building permit, while the building code and zoning still apply.

Home improvements sold door to door
Manitoba’s Consumer Protection Office licenses direct sellers, including home-improvement sellers, and uses roof shingling as an example. A buyer has 10 days after signing a direct sales contract to cancel, not counting the day they sign.

Falls and WCB Manitoba
Manitoba’s fall protection rules apply wherever a worker could fall 3 m or more, or less where the landing raises the risk of injury. Construction is a mandatory industry for WCB Manitoba coverage.
