Where It All Started

In 2008, after years of hands-on experience as a shingler with a well-established Ottawa roofing company, Jason Kovar took a leap of faith and founded Kovar Contracting. His vision was simple yet powerful: create a local contracting company that prioritized honesty and exceptional quality in an industry where these values sometimes take a back seat.

We Proudly Belong to

Building More Than Roofs—Building a Family

What began as a small operation in Barrhaven has steadily grown into a respected contracting team. Jason moved out to Perth and carefully expanded the company by selecting skilled professionals who shared his dedication to craftsmanship and client satisfaction. Today, many of our team members have been with us for over a decade, and several are even family members.

At Kovar Contracting, “team” means more than just working together—it means supporting each other, celebrating successes, and enjoying time together outside of work. This family-oriented culture translates directly into how we approach every project: with care, attention to detail, and personal investment in the outcome.

Growing Through Trust

Over the years, our clients began asking us to handle additional projects beyond roofing. Their trust in our work ethic and quality led to a natural expansion of our services. Whether it’s roofing, renovations, siding or other home improvement projects, clients know they’ll receive the same level of excellence and transparency that has become synonymous with the Kovar name.

Giving Back to Our Communities

We believe that being a successful local contracting business comes with a responsibility to support the communities we serve. Ottawa and the surrounding small towns are not just where we work—it’s where we live, raise our families, and build our futures.

Our commitment to community involvement takes many forms:

  • Sponsoring local sports teams and community events
  • Fundraising for various charitable causes
  • Donating our time and expertise to not-for-profit building projects
  • Participating as a team in local events and initiatives

Perth, Carleton Place, Kemptville, and the greater Ottawa Valley hold a special place in our hearts. We take pride in contributing to the vibrancy and growth of these communities that have supported us throughout our journey. For us, giving back isn’t just something we do—it’s who we are.
