Incorporated in 1980 in Courtenay as Russ Nelson Roofing Ltd, the company has grown steadily by a commitment to quality, innovation, and the use of the best materials and equipment. Originally founded by Russ and Sharon Nelson who have retired, the company was purchased by Lyle Nelson in 1999 and was subsequently reorganized and named Nelson Roofing. In 2007, we acknowledged our purchase of Cam Air Systems in Campbell River by renaming the entire organization Nelson Roofing & Sheet Metal.
