Question 2

How quickly will I get a roofing quote?

Accepted Answer

Most Calgary homeowners are contacted by a matched roofer within a few hours. Urgent or emergency requests are prioritized — typically same-day for active leaks or storm damage.

Question 3

Are the roofers in your network licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every contractor in our network is licensed in Alberta, carries liability insurance, and has been screened for reviews and complaint history before joining.

Question 4

What does a typical roof replacement cost in Calgary?

Accepted Answer

As of 2026, a standard asphalt shingle replacement on an average Calgary bungalow runs $9,000–$16,000 installed. Larger homes, metal roofing, or complex rooflines cost more. Always compare written quotes.

Question 5

How long does a roof last in Calgary?

Accepted Answer

Architectural asphalt shingles typically last 20–25 years in Calgary's climate. Standing-seam metal can last 50+ years. Lifespan depends heavily on attic ventilation, hail exposure, and installation quality.

Question 6

Will my insurance cover hail or storm damage to my roof?

Accepted Answer

Most Alberta homeowner policies cover sudden, accidental storm and hail damage. Your matched roofer can document the damage and work directly with your adjuster.

Question 7

Do I need a permit for roof work in Calgary?

Accepted Answer

Full roof replacements and structural repairs generally require a City of Calgary permit. Minor repairs usually don't. A reputable contractor handles the permit application as part of the project.

Question 8

Can roofing work be done in winter in Calgary?

Accepted Answer

Emergency repairs and tarping are done year-round. Full replacements are typically scheduled April through October when temperatures allow proper shingle sealing, though some materials and installers can extend the season.

Question 9

How do I know if my roof needs replacement or just repair?

Accepted Answer

If you have isolated damage on a roof under 15 years old, repair is usually the right call. If your roof is 18+ years old, has multiple problem areas, or has significant hail damage, replacement is usually more cost-effective.
