Roofing Services in Calgary
Your roof is the single most important barrier between your home and Alberta’s weather. Roofing protects everything below it from rain, hail, snow load, and UV exposure. Unlike siding installation services that shield your walls or eavestrough and gutter services that manage water at the roofline edge, roofing is the overhead waterproofing system that keeps your entire building dry and structurally sound. Alibaba Roofing and Renovation Inc has spent over 20 years installing, repairing, and replacing roofs for homeowners and businesses across Calgary, Cochrane, Okotoks, Chestermere, and Airdrie.
Full-Service Roofing: Repairs, Replacements, and New Installations
Whether you need a few damaged shingles replaced after a storm or a full tear-off and re-roof on an aging home, our crews handle every phase of the job. We manage roof repairs that stop active leaks, complete replacements that upgrade your protection for decades, and new construction installations built to current Alberta building codes. Every project starts with a thorough inspection so you know exactly what work is needed before we begin.

Residential Roofing
Your home’s roof takes the full force of Calgary’s hailstorms, heavy snowfalls, and chinook-driven temperature swings. At Alibaba Roofing and Renovation Inc, we install residential roofing systems designed to handle these conditions year after year. Our residential work covers asphalt shingle installations, metal roof upgrades, cedar shake replacement, and flat roofing for modern home designs. We help homeowners choose the right material for their budget, roof slope, and long-term plans. As CertainTeed, IKO, and BP certified installers, we follow manufacturer specifications on every project, which means your warranty stays fully valid from day one.
Commercial Roofing
Commercial buildings in Calgary face the same harsh weather as residential properties, but the stakes are different. A leaking roof can shut down operations, damage inventory, and create liability issues. We install and repair flat roofing membranes including TPO, modified bitumen, and EPDM systems for retail spaces, warehouses, office buildings, and mixed-use developments. Our commercial projects include scheduled maintenance programs that catch small problems before they turn into emergency calls. We work around your business hours to keep disruption to a minimum.

Once the renovation is complete, we walk through the finished work with you to confirm everything meets your expectations. Any touch-ups are handled before we consider the project closed.
Roofing Materials We Install
Choosing the right roofing material depends on your budget, roof slope, visual preferences, and how long you plan to own the property. Here is an honest breakdown of the options we install.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing material in Calgary for good reason. Architectural shingles offer a layered, dimensional look with wind resistance rated up to 210 km/h and a lifespan of 25 to 30 years. They are available in dozens of colour profiles to match any home style. We install CertainTeed Landmark, IKO Cambridge, and BP Mystique lines. Three-tab shingles are a budget-friendly alternative for properties where cost matters most.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs are gaining popularity across Calgary, especially among homeowners looking for 50-plus-year longevity paired with a distinctive look. Standing seam panels and stone-coated steel tiles handle heavy snow loads, resist hail impact, and reflect heat in the summer. The upfront cost is higher than asphalt, but the reduced maintenance and longer lifespan often make metal the better long-term investment.
Flat Roofing Systems
Flat and low-slope roofs are common on Calgary commercial buildings, garages, and modern residential designs. We install modified bitumen, TPO, and EPDM membranes. TPO is a strong choice for energy efficiency on commercial properties. Modified bitumen offers proven durability for our climate. We help you choose the right membrane based on your building’s use, foot traffic, and drainage setup.
Cedar Shake and Composite Alternatives
Cedar shake delivers a natural, textured appearance that suits many Calgary heritage homes and mountain-style builds. The maintenance requirements are higher than asphalt or metal, including regular treatments to prevent moss and moisture damage. Composite alternatives replicate the cedar look with lower upkeep and improved fire ratings. We install both options and can help you weigh the trade-offs.

Whether your home is in established communities like Mount Royal, Kensington, or Beltline, or newer developments in Seton, Cornerstone, or Livingston, we know the roof styles and common issues in each area.

Calgary Weather and Your Roof: What Every Homeowner Should Know
Calgary’s climate puts exceptional stress on roofing systems. Understanding seasonal patterns helps you plan maintenance and catch problems early.
Hail season runs from June through August. Calgary sits in one of the most active hail corridors in Canada. Impact-resistant shingles rated Class 3 or Class 4 can reduce damage and may qualify for insurance discounts. We install hail-rated products from all three of our certified manufacturers.
Chinook cycles bring rapid temperature swings that cause shingles to expand and contract repeatedly. Over time, this loosens adhesive strips and creates gaps where wind-driven rain can enter. Regular inspections after chinook events help catch lifting before leaks develop.
Winter snow loads are a concern on flat and low-slope roofs. Proper drainage design and membrane selection prevent ponding water that freezes and damages the roof structure. On steep-slope roofs, ice damming at the eaves is the primary winter risk. Proper attic ventilation and ice shield membranes installed along the eaves are the best prevention.
Spring melt season often reveals damage that accumulated over winter. We recommend booking a spring inspection each year to identify cracked flashing, worn sealant around vents, and any shingle damage from ice or heavy snow. Early detection keeps repair costs low and extends the life of your roof.
