Frequently asked questions
How much does a new roof cost in Alberta?
The cost of a new roof in Alberta varies based on size, pitch, materials, and other factors. After inspecting your roof, we’ll give you a detailed quote so you know exactly what’s included—no surprises!
How do I know if my roof needs replacing?
Wondering if it’s time for a new roof? Check for missing shingles, leaks, granule loss, or exposed nails. If you’re unsure, let us inspect it for you!
How can you tell whether your roof needs a repair or full replacement?
If the damage is limited to a few shingles, a repair may be enough. If you’re seeing widespread wear, brittle shingles, repeated leaks, or damage across several slopes, a replacement is usually the better long-term fix. We can inspect your roof and help you choose the most practical option.
What should you do when shingles are too brittle to repair?
Brittle shingles can crack when we lift them, which makes a repair less reliable. In that case, we’ll look at your roof’s overall condition and may recommend replacement so you don’t keep paying for patch jobs.
Do you replace the underlayment when redoing shingles?
Yes, we always replace the underlayment during a full roof replacement. It’s essential for protecting your home and ensuring your roof’s warranty stays intact.
Do you replace drip edge during roof replacement?
In most cases, yes. Drip edge helps protect roof edges and directs water away from the fascia. Replacing it during re-roofing improves performance and finish.
Do you replace flashing when replacing a roof?
We inspect and recommend replacement of flashing (chimneys, wall transitions, valleys) where needed. Proper flashing prevents leaks and is a key part of a quality roof replacement.
Do you offer a workmanship warranty on your services?
Yes, we stand behind our work with a workmanship warranty on roof replacements. The length of the warranty depends on your project, but rest assured, we’ve got you covered!
Can you help you with a hail or wind damage insurance claim?
Absolutely. If your roof has hail or wind damage, we can help you through the claim process, from inspections and documentation to meeting with your adjuster. Our goal is to make the next steps feel clear and manageable.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Southern Alberta including Lethbridge, Coaldale, Taber, Brooks, Medicine Hat, and surrounding communities. If you’re unsure, contact us and we’ll confirm.
Do you replace soffit and fascia?
Yes. We install and replace soffit and fascia as part of roof replacement packages or as standalone upgrades when needed.
Should soffit and fascia be replaced when getting a new roof?
If soffit/fascia is damaged, rotting, or outdated, replacing it at the same time as your roof can save labor costs and give a cleaner finished look.
What causes fascia board damage?
Fascia damage is commonly caused by overflowing gutters, ice buildup, water intrusion, poor drainage, and aging materials.
Do you install and replace gutters (eavestrough)?
Yes. We install gutters/eavestrough and downspouts, and we can upgrade drainage systems as part of a roof replacement.
Should gutters be replaced when replacing a roof?
Not always, but if gutters are leaking, sagging, or improperly sloped, replacing them during a roof job is often cost-effective and improves performance.
Do you install metal roofs?
Yes. We offer metal roofing options depending on the building type, roof pitch, and customer goals.
Is metal roofing better than shingles in Alberta?
Metal roofing can be an excellent choice in Alberta because of durability and long lifespan, especially in wind and hail-prone regions. The best option depends on your budget and home type.
How long does a metal roof last?
A properly installed metal roof can last decades. Longevity depends on metal type, coating, ventilation, and installation quality.
Can you install metal roofing over existing shingles?
Sometimes, depending on roof structure, ventilation needs, and local requirements. We inspect and advise whether it’s a good option or if tear-off is recommended.
How soon can you start my roof replacement?
Timelines depend on season and weather. We provide scheduling immediately after quote approval and prioritize urgent storm-related work.
Do you finance roof replacements?
If you want, we can discuss available options or recommend providers depending on your project and location.
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
Most straightforward residential roof replacements take 1 to 2 days, but the timeline can change based on roof size, pitch, weather, and any hidden damage we find once the old shingles come off. We’ll always keep you informed so there are no surprises.
