Sloped Roof Repairs in Calgary
Missing shingles, leaks, flashing and vent problems repaired before they turn into interior damage.
Leak, Hail and Shingle Damage Repairs in Calgary
Our crews work on every major sloped roof system, so we can find the damaged areas and repair them properly. Read on to see how sloped roof repairs in Calgary work with our team.
What Is a Sloped Roof?
Why Do Sloped Roofs Need Repairs?
In Calgary, hail causes a lot of that damage. In addition, strong winds lift and tear shingles, heavy spring snow and ice dams stress the eaves, and high UV dries out shingles and sealants.
The best approach is to repair damage as soon as you notice it. To stay ahead of problems, we also offer maintenance and inspection services.
Signs Your Sloped Roof Needs Repair
Spots or water damage on walls or ceilings
Drafts and humidity indoors
Pests
Unusual noises from the attic or upper levels
Increased heating or cooling costs
Loose shingle pieces on the ground
Algae, mould, or moss on the roof
Damaged rooftop flashing
We also listen. You know your home better than anyone, so what you have noticed helps us find the cause. After the inspection, we recommend the repairs or maintenance your roof needs, in writing, before any work starts.
Common Sloped Roof Repairs in Calgary
ROOF LEAKS
Leaks are the most common call we get. They can come from lifted or curled shingles, worn flashings, hail damage or poor ventilation. First, we find the actual source. Then we repair it properly so it does not come back.
ROOF FLASHING LEAKS
Flashing seals the roof around chimneys, vents and skylights. When it is bent, rusted or lifted, water gets in around those features and spreads into the roof and walls.
CHIMNEY FLASHING REPAIR
Chimney flashing has to be watertight. The right detail depends on the type of chimney, so we check that yours is correct and repair or replace it as needed.
CHIMNEY LEAKS
Not every chimney leak comes from the flashing. For example, cracked crowns, worn caps or damaged masonry can also let water in. If you see water or anything unusual in the fireplace, call us.
ROOF VALLEY REPAIR
Valleys are where two roof slopes meet, so they carry more water than anywhere else. As a result, they are vulnerable to ice, snowmelt and leaks, and they are worth checking after big storms.
ICE DAMS
Ice dams form when snow melts on a warm roof and refreezes at the cold eaves. Calgary chinooks make this cycle worse. We repair the damage and, more importantly, fix the insulation and ventilation problems that cause it.
MOULD DAMAGE
Moss, algae and lichen hold moisture against the shingles and shorten their life. If anything is growing on your roof, call us. It usually also points to a ventilation or shade problem.
ROOF VENTILATION
Poor attic ventilation leads to higher energy bills, ice dams, mould and early shingle failure. We can add or upgrade vents to solve these problems.
HAIL DAMAGE
Calgary sees some of the worst hail in Canada. Hail can bruise or crack shingles, knock off granules and even damage the deck. Repair it promptly, because hail damage turns into leaks over time. We also document it with photos for your insurance.
Sloped Roof Systems We Repair
ASPHALT SHINGLES
Asphalt shingles are the most common roof in Calgary. If you find granules in the eavestroughs or shingle pieces in the yard after a storm, it is time for a repair.
F-WAVE SYNTHETIC REVIA SHINGLES
F-Wave REVIA synthetic shingles are very durable. When they do need work, it is usually at flashings, ridges or areas hit by debris.
EUROSHIELD RUBBER SHINGLES
Euroshield rubber shingles are tough and flexible. We repair damaged pieces and flashings to keep them performing for their full life.
METAL ROOFING SHINGLES
Metal shingles handle snow and hail well. Timely repairs to fasteners, sealants and flashings keep them trouble-free.
STANDING SEAM METAL ROOFING PANELS
Standing seam roofs shed snow quickly. However, it is worth checking each spring for ice damage at the eaves, seams and snow guards.
STONE-COATED STEEL ROOFING SHINGLES
Stone-coated steel combines metal strength with a stone finish. If you see stone granules coming off the roof, the coating needs attention.
COMPOSITE DESIGNER SHAKE AND SLATE
Composite shake and slate are low maintenance. When a piece cracks or shifts, we replace it to keep the roof tight.
CEDAR SHAKES AND SHINGLES
Cedar can rot, split, grow moss or fade over time. We replace damaged shakes and address the cause, such as poor ventilation, so the roof lasts longer.
CLAY AND CONCRETE TILE ROOFING
Clay and concrete tiles last a long time. We replace cracked or slipped tiles and repair the underlayment and flashings beneath them.
