About JN Roofing & Contracting
Our History
Since 2015, we have been dedicated to serving homeowners and cottage owners in Barrie, Collingwood, Muskoka, Parry Sound, and surrounding regions, with their roofing needs, including: roof inspections, roof repairs, roof replacements, insulation top-ups, or new construction roofs.
As a family-owned roofing company, we are proud of our team of professional roofers who bring 100 years of combined experience, completing over 2,500 roofing projects since our inception.
With full licensing and insurance, we exclusively employ our own staff—never subcontractors. You can trust that our friendly, professional roofers will treat your home with the utmost care.
We are honoured to have received Best Business of the Year award from Three Best rated 5 years in a row and are a certified Owens Corning® Platinum Preferred Contractor.
A Message From Our Founder:
Jason Newkirk
“As a young man I never would have imagined that I would one day own my own roofing business, but in 2015 I made the decision to do just that and opened JN Roofing.
I knew I wanted to do things differently than I had seen done by other businesses, knowing there was an opportunity for some change in our specific industry.
One of the most important decisions I made was to hire experienced roofers as in-house employees, rather than relying on sub-contractors. I felt that by doing this I would have greater control to be able to deliver consistent, high quality workmanship. By hiring employees, they would have direct accountability to me for the work they perform, ensuring our clients receive the best possible service always.
I am also a believer of transparency and that would need to be at the core of our business practices as well. Making sure our clients are always provided with detailed information about the project, including cost estimates, timelines and materials used. I wanted our clients well informed throughout the entire process, giving them peace of mind and confidence in our services. From day 1, I wanted our clients to know our team is ALWAYS available to address any concerns or questions they may have, ensuring a smooth, stress-free experience that would also have ZERO pressure to ever make a decision the same day.
Over the years, with hard work by our team, JN Roofing has continued to grow steadily and earn a reputation for excellence as well as having integrity. We offer complete roof replacement, new construction roofs and roof repairs. We work with home and cottage owners, property management companies, condo corps, custom home builders as well as developers. This growth has recently brought us to purchase our own building, providing the much-needed space to store materials, have a showroom and enough offices for our staff. We also feel that by making the purchase of 161 Brock Street in Barrie, our clients can rest assured we are here for the long-term.
As I look toward the future, I remain committed to JN Roofing and our team. We will continue to innovate and adapt to the evolving needs of our clients, maintaining our position as a trusted entity in the roofing industry.
Building this business has been a very fulfilling journey for me and I can say quite proudly now, that at JN Roofing, “We Give Roofers A Good Name.”

Every spring in Simcoe County, homeowners step outside after a long Ontario winter, look up at their rooftop, and may notice something that was not there in the fall. A green cushion on the ridge. Dark streaks down the shingles. A flat, crusty patch that looks painted...

Spring in Ontario can fool you. One week, you are still clearing snow off the driveway, and the next, the sun is strong enough that your upstairs starts feeling stuffy by mid-afternoon. It happens faster than most homeowners expect, and every spring, we start getting...
