Our History
We have over 125 years of experience in providing our customers with the best possible roofing solutions. Our legacy has taught us to ensure your satisfaction.
1895
In 1895, John D. Sanderson was working as a shingler and lather for another roofing company when he decided to strike out on his own and form his own firm. At first, it was small – just himself and another man. Gradually he expanded his services and staff to include flat roofing and sheet metal work. Unfortunately in 1908, while still in his thirties, he became seriously ill and died.
1908
His son Herbert, still a teenager at the time, took over the running of the business and managed it through the Great Depression and the turmoil caused by two World Wars. Prior to 1920, he took in his brother Arthur as a partner. Herbert was our longest-serving president and he put his mark on the firm more than anyone else.
1978
In the late 1940s, Arthur became seriously ill, and Herbert hired Lloyd Mann (who was married to Herbert’s daughter Roslyn). Lloyd had just returned from serving overseas as a decorated RCAF bomber pilot during the Second World War. Herbert loved the business and kept working well into his 80s, gradually turning over the management to Lloyd. Herbert died in 1978 and Lloyd Mann became president, although he had been managing the business prior to that time due to Herbert’s advancing age. Lloyd modernized the firm considerably during this time.
2000
In 1966 Lloyd & Roslyn’s son Donald began working part-time for the firm while still in high school. He continued working there through university and later joined the firm on a full-time basis and has been running the business for the last few years. The firm is currently owned by Donald Mann who is the great-grandson of the founder.

Building a Roof to Withstand the Elements: Tips for Long-lasting Durability
Your roof is your home's first line of defense against the elements. It shields you from rain, snow, sun, and wind, keeping your living space safe and comfortable. Investing in a durable roof construction ensures peace of mind and minimizes the need for frequent repairs or replacements. Here are some key tips to consider when building a roof for long-lasting performance:
Choosing the Right Roofing Material
The type of roofing material you select significantly impacts your roof's durability. Consider your local climate, budget, and desired aesthetics. Here's a quick comparison of popular options:
-
Asphalt Shingles: Affordable and easy to install, but susceptible to strong winds and hail.
-
Metal Roofing: Highly durable and long-lasting, but can be more expensive upfront.
-
Slate Roofs: Unmatched beauty and exceptional longevity, but the most expensive option.
-
Cedar Shakes: Natural and aesthetically pleasing, but require more frequent maintenance.
Consult a roofing professional to determine the most suitable material for your specific needs and climate.
Prioritizing Proper Ventilation
Adequate ventilation is crucial for a healthy roof. It allows trapped moisture to escape, preventing mold growth, rot, and structural damage. Soffit vents at the eaves and ridge vents at the peak work together to create airflow through the attic space.
Investing in Quality Underlayment
Underlayment acts as a secondary barrier between your roof deck and the shingles. It provides additional waterproofing and protects the roof deck from wind-driven rain. Choose a high-quality, water-resistant underlayment for optimal performance.
Ensuring Proper Drainage
A properly designed roof drainage system efficiently channels water away from your roof and foundation. This minimizes the risk of leaks, ice dams, and water damage to your home's exterior. Your roofer will ensure the slope is sufficient and gutters are properly sized and installed.
Flashing Installation with Precision
Flashing is a thin, waterproof material installed around roof penetrations like chimneys, vents, and skylights. Meticulous flashing installation is essential to prevent leaks at these critical points. Ensure your roofing contractor uses high-quality flashing materials and proper techniques.
Hiring Experienced Roofers
Skilled and experienced roofers understand proper installation techniques and ensure your roof is built to code. They use the right tools and materials and prioritize quality workmanship. Don't hesitate to ask for references and check credentials before hiring a roofing company.
Regular Maintenance
Routine maintenance is key to extending the lifespan of your roof. Schedule regular inspections with a qualified roofer to identify any minor issues before they escalate into major problems. Keep your gutters clean and free of debris, and trim any tree branches that may overhang your roof.
​
Following these tips and prioritizing quality materials and skilled professionals an help build a durable roof that protects your home for years to come. A well-built roof is an investment that provides peace of mind, saves you money on repairs in the long run, and enhances the curb appeal of your property.
