+ How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced or just repaired?

If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is isolated, a repair is usually sufficient. However, if you're seeing widespread shingle loss, sagging, or recurring leaks, a full replacement is likely the more cost-effective long-term solution. We offer free inspections to help you decide.

+ How do I know if my gutters need to be replaced?

Watch for sagging, pulling away from the roofline, rust, cracks, or water pooling near your foundation. If repairs are frequent, replacement is often more economical.

+ Do I need to be home while the work is being done?

No! We will communicate any needs we have, and address all potential concerns before the job starts. That way we can show up, get the job done, and get out of there with minimal disruption to your schedule.

A quality asphalt shingle roof typically lasts 20–30 years in Calgary's climate. Harsh winters and hail storms can shorten that lifespan, which is why regular inspections matter.

We take care to protect your property throughout the process. Our team cleans up daily and uses drop sheets and magnetic nail sweepers to keep your yard safe.

Most standard home insurance policies in Alberta do cover hail damage. We recommend contacting your insurer promptly after a storm and getting a professional inspection before filing your claim for accurate documentation.
