Signs you need a roof replacement
A roof does not fail all at once. It gives warnings first. These are the ones we see most.
- Shingles that curl, crack or go missing after a wind storm.
- Granules piling up in the eavestroughs or on the ground below.
- Water stains on a ceiling, or dark patches in the attic after snowmelt.
- A leak that comes back after one or two patch repairs.
- Soft, sagging or dark areas you can see from the street.
- Dents, bare spots or loose granules after a hailstorm.
Calgary roofs take a beating. Chinook warm spells melt the snow and the water refreezes at the eaves overnight. Summer hail can bruise a roof that looked sound in spring.
One homeowner called after a night of 90 km/h winds left debris across the yard. They wrote that the roofer’s aerial photos “clearly” showed the damage. Photos like that let you see the roof for yourself.
Not every worn roof needs replacing. One reviewer had a roof that leaked for two years and planned a full replacement. They wrote that “after inspection, they proposed that replacement is not necessary” and a repair fixed it in a day. If your roof is sound apart from one failed spot, start with roof repair.
Why roofs wear out early here
Four things shorten a roof’s life in this climate.
-
Freeze-thaw cycles
Melted snow runs under shingles and freezes again. Each cycle lifts sealant strips and loosens flashing.
-
Hail and wind
One storm can turn a sound roof into a failing one. The damage is often on the slopes you cannot see from the ground.
-
Ice and snow load
Ice at the eaves pushes water into weak spots.
-
Hidden decking damage
A slow leak soaks the boards under the shingles. One reviewer wrote that there was “some rotting sheeting under my shingles.” The fix is replacing those boards while the roof is open.
That last one is why a full replacement beats a cover-up. When the old roof comes off, the crew can see the deck and fix what is wrong before the new roof goes on.
Your options for roof replacement
The right job depends on what is wrong and what else is aging on the house.
Full tear-off and replacement
The old shingles come off, the deck is checked and repaired, and a new roof goes on. We install IKO and Malarkey shingles.
Metal roofing
An option for homeowners who want a different look or a longer-lasting surface. Ask us about it at the quote.
Hail-driven replacement
Storm damage across several slopes usually means a full roof. See hail damage roof repair for how that works.
Flat roof on a garage or addition
Flat roofs are a different job with different materials. See commercial and flat roofing.
Roof plus siding
If the siding is aging too, one crew and one schedule can cover both. See siding.
A shingle roof replacement on a typical two-storey Calgary home runs
$5,000 to $15,000
Where your quote lands inside that range depends on:
- Roof size and pitch.
- How many layers of old roofing come off.
- Decking repairs.
- The shingles you choose.
- Extra work bundled in.
Your quote is a written, itemized scope. That is how you compare it with other bids on the same work. One reviewer wrote that their quote “was timely, clear, complete with upgrade options.”

Questions about roof replacement
How do I choose a roofing contractor?
Compare written scopes, not just totals. Ask what is included and what is left out. Read recent reviews for how the contractor handled communication, cleanup and follow-up. Ask who your contact is and how updates will reach you.
What affects the cost of a roof replacement?
Roof size and pitch, the number of old layers, decking repairs, the shingles you pick and any bundled work. A typical shingle roof on a two-storey Calgary home runs $5,000 to $15,000. A site inspection gives you a real number.
How does the $1,500 offer work?
It is up to $1,500 off a new roof, with code CITY15, until October 31, 2026. The exact amount depends on your quote. Ask us how it applies when we send it.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most house roofs are finished in a day. Reviewers describe one to two days on site. Weather and decking repairs can move the date, so ask for a start date in writing.
Should I replace the roof, or repair it?
Repair suits a sound roof with one failed spot. Replacement suits wide wear, repeated leaks or storm damage across several slopes. We tell you which one your roof needs, even when that means the smaller job. See roof repair.
What should I do after hail hits my roof?
Photograph the roof, eavestroughs and any dented metal soon after the storm. Ask any contractor for photos and a written description of the damage. We have documented more than 1,200 hail claims since 2014. See hail damage roof repair.
Can I replace the siding at the same time?
Yes. One crew and one schedule can cover the exterior. See siding contractor.
