Trusted Exterior Services for Fort Erie, ON Families
Fort Erie sits right on the water, and the weather makes sure you know it. Between the lake-effect snow, the wind that comes off Lake Erie, and the ice that builds up along the eaves, homes here take a beating that most other parts of Ontario simply don’t see. And when your exterior starts showing signs of wear, you want someone who understands the cause of the problem, not just someone who can slap a fix on it.
Gerry's Roofing and Siding has been working on homes in Southern Ontario since 1980. As a family-owned company with over 30,000 completed projects to our name, we’ve seen just about every exterior issue a home can throw at us. From the first winter freeze to the next summer storm, we’ve got your home covered.
Know What Your Roof Needs Before You Commit
Every roofing project we take on in Fort Erie starts the same way: a thorough inspection that gives you a clear picture of what’s going on up there. Granules washing into the gutters, shingles that have started to cup or curl, soft spots when walking the roof, or water stains appearing on interior ceilings are all signals worth investigating. From there, we’ll talk through whether a targeted repair makes sense or whether the roof has reached the point where replacement is the more reasonable path forward.
When replacement is the call, we work with a range of proven systems. IKO asphalt shingles are a dependable choice for sloped roofs throughout Southern Ontario, while metal roofing from Ontario Metal Products is worth considering for homeowners who want something that will ask very little of them for decades. For low-slope roofing, Euroshield flat and rubber roofing systems offer solutions engineered for those conditions.
A Better Outer Layer for Your Home
Siding tends to get overlooked until it starts failing visibly, but by that point, moisture may have already found its way behind the wall. Warping, cracking, fading, or sections pulling loose from the framing are all worth addressing sooner rather than later. The longer compromised siding remains on the home, the greater the risk that the structure beneath it will sustain damage.
We offer several siding options for Fort Erie homeowners, and the best fit usually comes down to the look you want, how much maintenance you’re willing to take on, and what kind of exposure your home deals with. Our lineup includes vinyl, steel, composite, PVC, and James Hardie fiber cement siding. Every material has its strengths, and we’d be happy to help you figure out which one best suits your home and priorities.
Replacing the Openings That Let the Weather In
Older homes in Fort Erie have a lot of character, but their original windows and doors weren’t built to the same standards available today. Cold air sneaking in around frames, condensation trapped between panes, doors that have swelled or warped out of square, and rooms that never quite warm up are all signs that the openings in your home may be working against you.
Del Windows and Doors vinyl windows are available through us in a variety of styles, including casement, awning, bay, sliding, and picture configurations. On the door side, we install entry and patio doors in steel, fiberglass, and wood, so there’s a fit for most preferences and needs.
Soffit, Fascia, & Gutters Working Together
The roofline is about more than shingles. The eavestroughs, soffit, and fascia all play a role in directing water away from the home and keeping the roof edge properly ventilated. When any one of those components starts to fail, the effects tend to travel fast.
Gentek gutters can handle the volume of water that runs off a roof during a Southern Ontario storm, and they’re the product we trust for every gutter installation we do. For homeowners with mature trees nearby or rooflines that collect debris during the fall, we also offer certified Alu-Rex gutter guards to reduce how often the gutters need cleaning. Pairing the guards with new eavestroughs gives you a drainage system that stays clear with much less attention.
Natural Light Solutions for Interior Rooms
Not every room in a home has a good wall for a window. Hallways, bathrooms, interior kitchens, and stairwells often rely on artificial light around the clock simply because there’s nowhere practical to cut an opening in the exterior wall. Bringing light in from above can entirely change how those spaces feel.
For overhead daylight, we offer Velux skylights in both fixed and vented configurations, depending on whether you are after fresh-air ventilation. For smaller or tighter spaces, sun tunnels channel daylight from a compact roof fitting through a reflective tube and into the room below, covering the gap without the footprint of a full skylight. Both options are worth putting on the table when the roof is already part of the conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, payment plans are available for larger projects. We’ll walk through the options during your consultation so you can go in with a better sense of what the project will cost.
Are skylights easier to add during a roof replacement?
In many cases, yes. A roof replacement can be a good time to discuss skylights or sun tunnels because the roofing system is already being opened and rebuilt.

Absolutely! Our gallery is a great place to see the types of projects we’ve completed for homeowners across Southern Ontario.
