Frequently asked questions
What’s the cost of a new roof in Alberta?
The cost of a new roof in Alberta depends on factors like size, pitch, layers to remove, ventilation, and materials. We’ll provide a detailed quote after inspecting your roof, so you’ll know exactly what’s included.
How can I tell if my roof needs replacing?
Look for missing or lifted shingles, granule loss, leaks, exposed nails, or deteriorated flashing. If your shingles aren’t sealing properly, it might be time for a replacement. Let’s inspect it for you!
Should I repair shingles or replace the whole roof?
If damage is isolated and shingles are repairable, a repair may be possible. If shingles are brittle, poorly bonded, heavily worn, or damaged across multiple slopes, replacement may be the better long-term solution.
What happens if shingles are brittle and can’t be lifted for repairs?
In some cases, brittle shingles crack when lifted, making repairs unreliable. If repairs can’t be completed properly without damaging surrounding shingles, a replacement may be recommended.
Will you replace the underlayment when redoing my shingles?
Absolutely! Underlayment is a key part of your roof’s protection and warranty. We always replace it during a full roof replacement to ensure everything’s done right.
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.
Is there a workmanship warranty on your services?
Yes, we back our work with a workmanship warranty on roof replacements. The warranty length depends on the project and system we install.
Do you assist with insurance claims for hail or wind damage?
Yes, we’re here to help! We’ll provide inspection reports, photos, and all the details you need for your insurance claim. We can even meet with your adjuster if needed.
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.
