Facebook Ads for Roofing Companies in Canada

Why Facebook and Instagram ads work for roofing companies

Roof replacement is expensive and rarely an emergency until it leaks. Facebook and Instagram let roofers reach homeowners in older neighbourhoods with inspection offers in spring and fall, and after big storms, with photos of real local jobs that build trust before the first phone call.

Facebook ads for roofing companies

Facebook and Instagram for roofing companies

Most homeowners don’t know their roof needs work until it leaks. Meta lets roofers reach them earlier with inspection offers, drone photos of real roofs and short videos showing common problems like lifted shingles or damaged flashing. After storms, inspection offers help homeowners who haven’t noticed damage yet.

Replacements are a big financial decision, and financing offers with a clear monthly payment make them easier. Before-and-after drone shots of full replacements, with the shingle brand and colour named, are some of the best-performing roofing creative.

Real photos of local roofs you’ve done, ideally from above, and a simple inspection offer.

Do you also run Google Ads for roofing companies?

Yes. Most roofing companies get the best results from Google Ads and Facebook ads together. Google captures people searching now; Facebook and Instagram reach them earlier and retarget people who visited your site.
