Winnipeg, MB · roof reports + roofing software
Measure Winnipeg roofs from the office through a short building season, build each estimate from the take-off, and run the lead, proposal, job and invoice in one roofing platform.
Roof Manager supports roofing contractors in Winnipeg and the Winnipeg region. Report availability for an individual property depends on usable aerial or satellite imagery for that property.
Transcona, St. Vital, St. James and Charleswood are all inside the City of Winnipeg, so the City rules below apply there. East St. Paul, West St. Paul, Headingley, Oakbank (in Springfield), Selkirk and Stonewall are separate municipalities that issue their own permits. None of them has a Roof Manager city page: order for them from your account.

The City of Winnipeg is its own permit authority under the Winnipeg Building By-law, and Public Works controls the street in front of the house. These are the rules a roofing crew meets on an ordinary Winnipeg job, from winnipeg.ca and the City’s by-laws.
The City lists replacing shingles with the same material among projects that need no building permit, and the Winnipeg Building By-law exempts replacing roofing material with the same material. The work must still follow the building code and zoning, and the City tells homeowners to make sure a hired contractor gets any permit before work begins.

The City’s alteration permit application asks for structural drawings when roof structural members such as rafters or trusses are altered, repaired or replaced, and for dormers, finishing an unfinished attic and installing skylights; engineering may be required. A building permit is required for every roof-mounted solar PV installation.

Equipment, materials or waste kept on a Winnipeg street needs a Public Works use of street permit. A curb lane usage permit covers up to three days on a section of street where parking is permitted; a construction permit closes and occupies a set area of the street for a defined period. Permit holders need a $2,000,000 general liability policy.
Loud construction work within 150 m of a home is allowed from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends and holidays (Neighbourhood Liveability By-law). Downspouts need an elbow and an extension or splash pad to carry water away from the foundation, and directing surface water onto neighbouring properties, back lanes, sidewalks or streets is against the City’s Lot Grading By-law.
