Cedar-Slate Roofing in the Renfrew County
If you’re looking for a roof that combines timeless beauty with unmatched durability, cedar and slate are among the most prestigious choices available.
At We Got It Covered Roofing & Renovations, we provide expert cedar shake and slate roofing installation in Renfrew and throughout the Ottawa Valley, bringing old-world craftsmanship and modern reliability together.
Why Cedar-Slate Roofing?
Both cedar shakes and natural slate have been used for centuries because of their proven performance. While they’re premium materials, the investment pays off with decades — even centuries — of protection and beauty.
Cedar and slate roofs are more than just coverings — they’re architectural statements that add character, value, and lasting strength to your home.
Benefits of Cedar Roofing:
Natural Beauty – A warm, rustic look that ages into a silvery patina.
Lightweight Strength – Easier on your home’s structure compared to some heavy roofing materials.
Energy Efficient – Natural insulation keeps homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Durability – Properly installed cedar can last 30–50 years with care.
Benefits of Slate Roofing:
Unmatched Longevity – Slate roofs often last 75–100+ years.
Fire & Weather Resistant – Impervious to fire, rot, and extreme weather.
Low Maintenance – Slate requires little upkeep once installed.
Prestige & Value – Adds significant long-term value to your property.

Saying About We Got It Covered Roofing
Excellent job. Jamie and his crew did a wonderful job on our roof. Very quick response with quote and the work. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
We have a small section of flat roof which developed a leak over the weekend. On Sunday I found several positive local recommendations for We Got It Covered and reached out. Was able to talk to the owner, Jamie who quickly assessed my situation via some photos - gave me a price and said he’d be here the next day. He and his crew came right on time, completed the work with a competitive price and we couldn’t be happier with the quality of the job and the crew that did it. Thanks Jamie!
I highly recommend Jamie and his crew! I messaged him for a quote on my cottage roof and he was here within an hour. We didn’t realize the roof and soffit were in such bad shape. He set us at ease and gave us a very good price on replacing the roof, soffit and fascia. His team was terrific, quick and professional. They installed eavestrough as well. We were so impressed, we had his team come back and put up new siding on the whole cottage and it looks like a new place. We’re very pleased.
Two summers in a row have had these guys do work for us. Both times, the work was done to a very high standard, quickly and at a reasonable price. Chris and Glen were great, would definitely recommend them for pretty much anything you need done.
Had Jamie and his team replace the back half of my roof after it started to leak from old age. Stellar job on that, and just today while I was clearing my driveway after the unexpected snow he passed by with the plow and cleared it for me. Jamie and his team go above and beyond for their clients.
Team did a great job snow blowing my driveway today after the massive storm we had. The helped me dig out my car too! Great bunch. Highly recommend giving them a call not only for the winter but for your roofing needs too!

Jamie is amazing, great prices, punctual, and explains everything he’s doing/done. Definitely recommend !!
Jamie is a very professional gentleman. He was to the point with what was best practice and what the costs were. The team was on time and completed our roof replacement and repaired underlying problems with efficiency. I will not hesitate to recommend this crew and call them again when other projects come up. Thank you Jamie and team!
