Frequently Asked Questions

Roughly $7,500 to $17,000 CAD for asphalt shingles on a typical house, about $4.50 to $8.50 per square foot installed. Pitch, storeys, roofline complexity and decking drive the range. Detail: Edmonton roof replacement cost.

If the damage came from a covered peril — hail, wind, falling objects, weight of ice and snow — yes. Age, wear and installation defects are not covered. See what Alberta policies cover.

You do, always. No contractor can legally cover, waive or absorb it in Alberta — that is insurance fraud and it can void your claim. Anyone offering is telling you they are a storm chaser. See who pays the deductible.

From the ground: granules in the gutters and dents in soft metals like vents, gutters, AC fins and fence caps. Mat fracture and strike density need someone on the roof. See hail damage signs.

A typical Edmonton bungalow is one day. A two-storey with multiple valleys and dormers is two to three. Decking replacement and weather can add time.

A like-for-like shingle replacement is usually treated as maintenance, while structural work needs a City of Edmonton permit. Requirements change, so we confirm the current rule for your specific scope before booking rather than guessing, and any permit cost goes in the written quote.

Emergency work, any time. Full replacements are scheduled around temperature and wind, because asphalt shingles need to seal properly. We will tell you honestly if waiting produces a better roof.

Two separate things: the manufacturer's warranty on the shingle, and our workmanship warranty on the installation. The second is the one that matters, because most roof failures are installation failures. Get its term in writing from anyone who quotes you.

Yes, at no charge, and we recommend it. The adjuster prices what they observe on the day. Anything missed then takes a supplement and weeks to add. See the adjuster meeting.

Get the denial in writing with the policy wording cited, then request a re-inspection with your own documentation. There are four escalation routes. See denied roof claims.
