MISSISSAUGA, ON, February 20, 2025 – First Onsite Property Restoration, Canada’s leading property restoration company, announced today that it has acquired a majority stake in Great Canadian Roofing & Siding.

Great Canadian Roofing & Siding operates in Alberta and Saskatchewan with offices in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer and Saskatoon. Over the years, the company has evolved from a roofing company into a full-service, one-stop, energy-efficient renovation specialist with a range of residential services from roofing, siding, windows and doors, stone and stucco, to insulation and thermal imaging.

“Great Canadian Roofing & Siding has a strong and well-respected reputation in the markets it serves. While getting to know the company, we have been very impressed by the organization and we have high expectations for this partnership,” said Peter Corsano, EVP of Operations at First Onsite Property Restoration.

Today’s acquisition enables First Onsite to support its insurance partners with enhanced service offerings. Additionally, when there’s a catastrophic weather event or property damage, First Onsite can better help its customers get back on their feet quickly.

This announcement comes on the heels of a record-breaking hailstorm that hit the Calgary area in early August 2024, resulting in nearly $2.8 billion in insured losses. Tens of thousands of homes in north Calgary were left with damaged siding and roofs after the destructive hailstorm – the second-costliest weather event in Canada’s history, following the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire.1

“First Onsite’s national restoration network and its ability to serve customers and scale up when disasters hit make this an attractive partnership for us, and we are excited about joining forces to provide the best solutions for our customers,” said Jason Knapton, President of Great Canadian Roofing & Siding.

Going forward, Great Canadian Roofing & Siding will continue operating business under its current name and leadership as it plans to build out synergies with First Onsite.
