Extend Your Construction Season

Our temporary roof structure are used for a variety of reasons. Most commonly, a temporary roof offers weather protection during renovations and construction projects. 

When a construction site needs protection from rain or wet weather, temporary roof structures using shrink wrap can prevent loss of time and money by making sure your project isn’t delayed.

Northstar offers a few temporary roof options  dependent on your project needs. Our crews have extensive experience with both Kedar Track Roof Systems and Shrink Wrap installations. Scroll down to read more about these options.

Construction work in Canada often requires a weather-protected covered area, and temporary roofs offer construction professionals year-round protection. No more water damaged materials or days off for bad weather means faster project completion with safer job sites!

Northstar has decades of experience in building temporary roofs and enclosures in the industrial, commercial and residential sectors. You can check out some of our temporary roofing builds here.
