We help Calgary homeowners find local roofing contractors, understand what a roof job should cost here, and handle hail damage and insurance claims without getting rushed into a contract.
Calgary is hard on roofs. The City describes it as sitting in hail alley, the part of Canada that sees the most hail, and the storms of June 2020 and August 2024 each ran into the billions of dollars in insured damage. Between storms, chinooks melt the snow on a roof in an afternoon and a cold front refreezes it overnight, which is how ice dams push water under shingles in the middle of winter.
That makes roofing one of the trades Calgary homeowners hire most often and understand least. Quotes for the same roof can differ by thousands of dollars, door-to-door crews appear the morning after every hailstorm, and the rules that protect you, like Alberta's prepaid contracting licence and the 10-day right to cancel a contract signed at your door, are rarely explained.
Calgary Roof Repairs is a matching service, not a roofing company. We do not inspect, repair or install roofs. You tell us what is going on with your roof, and we send your request to local roofing contractors listed in the Calgary Construction Network directory, who reply to you by email. Our cost ranges, hail and insurance guidance, and Roof IQ answers are here so you know what a fair job looks like before the first quote arrives.
Choose the job type and your area, and add what you are seeing: a leak, hail damage, missing shingles, an old roof you want replaced. The roof's age and material help. No phone number needed.
We send your request to local roofing contractors in the Calgary Construction Network directory who work in your area. They contact you by email to arrange a look at the roof and a written quote.
Compare quotes line by line, ask for the contractor's Alberta prepaid contracting licence and a WCB-Alberta clearance letter, and get the contract in writing. If it is a hail claim, check with your insurer first.
This site covers one trade. Your request goes to roofing contractors, not general contractors or other trades, for replacements, repairs, hail claims, flat and metal roofs, inspections and cedar shake.
Every service page gives the range a job usually lands in here, and what moves it: roof size and pitch, layers to remove, decking, and the product you choose. Know the range before you compare quotes.
We explain the protections that matter when you hire a roofer here: the prepaid contracting licence, what a written contract must include, the 10-day cancellation right, and how to check WCB coverage.
Our free knowledge base answers Calgary roofing questions: what a replacement or repair should cost, how hail claims work, when a permit is needed, and how to tell a fair quote from a bad one.
The jobs Calgary homeowners bring to us most, with the range each usually lands in:
Full tear-off and re-roof for Calgary homes, with what a fair quote includes, when a permit applies and why ice and water shield is not optional here.
A typical Calgary house with architectural asphalt shingles usually lands between $10,000 and $24,000, roughly $5 to $8.50 per square foot of roof. Impact-resistant Class 4 shingles add about 10 to 20 percent. Steep, tall or cut-up roofs and extra decking replacement push it higher.
Leak tracing, missing and wind-lifted shingles, flashing failures and emergency tarping on Calgary roofs, plus how to tell a repair from a roof that is done.
Small repairs such as a few shingles or a vent boot often run $300 to $1,000. Flashing and valley work or a moderate leak is usually $1,000 to $3,000, and larger repairs with deck or rot damage reach $5,000 or more. Emergency and after-hours calls commonly cost 30 to 50 percent more.
Hail inspections, working with your insurer, impact-resistant Class 4 shingles and how to handle door-to-door contractors after a Calgary hailstorm.
An inspection is often free or up to about $700 for an insurance-grade report. What you pay out of pocket on an approved claim is usually your deductible. A full hail replacement with Class 4 shingles on a typical Calgary house runs roughly $13,000 to $25,000 before insurance.
Torch-on and SBS modified bitumen, TPO and EPDM membranes for Calgary garages, additions, infills and low-slope homes, including ponding and drain problems.
Flat roofing in Calgary usually runs about $9 to $20 per square foot. A detached garage roof is often $4,000 to $9,000, and a whole low-slope house roof can reach $25,000 or more, depending on the membrane, insulation, drains and access.
Standing seam, steel shingles and stone-coated steel for Calgary homes: what they cost against asphalt, how they handle hail and snow, and what to ask before you buy.
Metal roofing in Calgary usually runs about $11 to $20 per square foot installed, so a typical house is often $20,000 to $50,000. Standing seam sits at the top of that range and stone-coated steel lower.
Roof inspections for Calgary homes after hail and wind, before buying or selling, and before deciding between repair and replacement.
Inspections by roofers quoting a replacement are often free. A paid roof inspection usually runs $150 to $400, and an insurance-grade report with photos and measurements about $450 to $700.
Cedar shake repair and replacement, synthetic shake and slate, and real slate and tile roofs in Calgary, with what each costs and how it handles hail and fire.
Cedar shake replacement in Calgary usually runs about $10 to $18 per square foot, often $20,000 to $36,000 on a typical house. Synthetic shake and slate sit in a similar or slightly higher range, and real slate or tile can exceed $60,000.
