How Our Roofing Process Works
Step 1: Free Roof Inspection and Estimate
We start with a thorough on-site inspection. Our estimator examines your current roof condition, measures the area, checks ventilation and flashing, and identifies any underlying issues like rotted decking or ice dam damage. You receive a detailed written estimate within 48 hours, broken down by materials, labour, and any additional work required. No pressure, no obligation.
Step 2: Material Selection and Scheduling
Once you approve the estimate, we help you select the right roofing material for your budget and goals. We bring physical samples, explain warranty differences, and recommend products proven to perform in Calgary’s climate. We then lock in your project date so you know exactly when work begins.
Step 3: Professional Installation
On installation day, our crew arrives on time with all materials pre-staged. We protect your landscaping and driveway, strip the old roofing down to the deck, inspect and repair any damaged sheathing, install ice-and-water shield in critical areas, and lay your new roof system to manufacturer specifications. Most residential reroofs are completed in one to three days depending on size and complexity.
Step 4: Final Inspection and Cleanup
After installation, our project lead conducts a walk-around inspection with you. We run a magnetic sweep of your entire property to collect any stray nails, remove all debris, and confirm you are satisfied before we consider the job complete. You receive your warranty documentation and a direct line to our team for any future questions.
Roofing Materials We Install in Calgary
Choosing the right material depends on your budget, the slope of your roof, your aesthetic preferences, and how long you plan to stay in the home. Here is a straightforward comparison of the options we install.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing material in Calgary for good reason. Architectural (laminated) shingles offer a multi-dimensional look, strong wind resistance rated up to 210 km/h, and Class 4 impact resistance when you select hail-rated products. They typically last 25 to 40 years depending on the product grade and proper attic ventilation. For most Calgary homeowners, architectural asphalt shingles hit the best balance of performance and value.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs are gaining popularity across Calgary, especially in communities like Altadore, Inglewood, and Hillhurst where homeowners want a distinctive look paired with 50-plus-year longevity. Standing seam metal roofing sheds snow quickly, resists hail better than almost any other material, and requires very little maintenance. The upfront cost is higher than asphalt, but the lifespan and energy efficiency often make it 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 (torch-on), TPO, and EPDM membranes. Each system has strengths: modified bitumen provides excellent waterproofing in cold climates, TPO offers strong UV and chemical resistance, and EPDM is a budget-friendly option with proven durability across decades of use.
Cedar Shake and Composite Alternatives
Cedar shake roofing delivers a natural, textured appearance that suits many Calgary heritage homes and mountain-style builds. Composite alternatives from manufacturers like DaVinci Roofscapes replicate the cedar look with improved fire resistance and lower maintenance requirements. We install both options and can help you weigh the trade-offs during your estimate consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing in Calgary
How much does a new roof cost in Calgary?
The cost of a new roof in Calgary depends on the size of your roof, the material you choose, the complexity of the roof design, and whether any structural repairs are needed during the tear-off. Asphalt shingle roofs are the most affordable option, while metal roofing and cedar shake carry a higher upfront price with a longer lifespan. We provide free, no-obligation written estimates so you know the exact cost before committing.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements in Calgary take one to three days from tear-off to completion. A standard single-layer tear-off and reroof on a typical two-storey home is usually finished in a single day. Larger homes, multi-layer tear-offs, or projects requiring deck repairs may take two to three days. Weather delays can extend the timeline, which is why we schedule strategically around Calgary’s forecast.
What are the signs my roof needs repair?
Watch for missing, curling, or cracked shingles. Granule buildup in your eavestroughs after rain. Dark streaks or algae growth. Water stains on interior ceilings or walls. Daylight visible through attic roof boards. Sagging sections along the roofline. Flashing pulling away from chimneys or vents. If you spot any of these, book a professional inspection before minor issues become expensive repairs.
What roofing materials do you offer?
We install architectural asphalt shingles (CertainTeed, IKO, BP), standing seam metal roofing, modified bitumen and TPO flat roofing systems, EPDM membranes, and composite shake alternatives. Each material suits different budgets, roof slopes, and aesthetic preferences. During your free estimate, we bring samples and explain the warranty, lifespan, and performance differences so you can make an informed decision.
Do you offer emergency roofing services?
Yes. When storm damage, fallen debris, or sudden leaks put your home at risk, we provide emergency tarping and board-up to stop water intrusion immediately. We then complete a full damage assessment, prepare insurance documentation, and schedule permanent repairs. Call us at (587) 888-2885 if you need urgent roofing help in Calgary.
What warranty do you provide on roofing?
Our warranty coverage depends on the materials selected and our manufacturer certification level. As a manufacturer-preferred contractor, we can offer extended warranties that cover both materials and workmanship, often lasting 25 to 50 years depending on the product line. We walk you through every warranty detail before your project begins so you know exactly what is covered.

Calgary Weather and Your Roof: What Every Homeowner Should Know
Calgary’s climate puts exceptional stress on roofing systems. Understanding the seasonal patterns helps you plan maintenance and catch problems early.
Hail Season (June through August): Calgary sits in “Hail Alley,” one of the most hail-prone regions in Canada. A single severe hailstorm can damage thousands of roofs across the city in minutes. After any significant hail event, schedule an inspection even if you do not see visible damage from the ground. Bruised shingles lose granules and fail prematurely if not addressed.
Chinook Cycles (November through March): Rapid temperature swings of 20 degrees or more in a single day cause roofing materials to expand and contract repeatedly. Over time, this loosens nails, cracks sealant strips on shingles, and opens gaps around flashing. A fall inspection before chinook season catches these vulnerabilities.
Winter Snow Loads: Heavy snow accumulation, especially on flat or low-slope roofs, can exceed structural load limits. Proper attic ventilation and insulation reduce ice dam formation along your eavestrough installation and extend the life of both your roof and gutter system.
