Roof Inspection and Maintenance in Calgary

Evanston NW Calgary Insurance Hail Damage Roof Replacement This roof replacement came out of a hail claim after the existing asphalt roof took a consistent hit across multiple slopes and roof components in Evanston NW Calgary. Once we got up on the roof, the damage was easy to see. Shingles were bruised and losing granules throughout the system, ridge caps were breaking down, and several areas had lifted tabs and failed seal strips from the storm exposure. Impacts were also visible around roof vents, flashing, and other penetrations, with some metal components showing denting and wear from the hail. At that point, it didn’t make much sense to chase repairs across isolated sections. The roof had taken enough overall damage that a full replacement was the better long-term route. The existing system was removed and replaced with a full Malarkey Legacy Class 4 impact-resistant roofing system in Storm Grey. New synthetic underlayments, ice and water protection, starter shingles, ridge cap systems, valley metal, drip edge, rake edge metal, updated flashing, and new ventilation components were all installed as part of the rebuild. This roof measured just over 2,000 sq ft with 17 facets and multiple transitions, so getting everything to tie together consistently across the different elevations was an important part of the install. The finished roof not only restored the home after the hail damage, but upgraded the property to a much more impact-resistant system better suited for Calgary weather moving forward.

Full tear-off completed down to the wood deck to eliminate any underlying issues and rebuild the roof properly from the base up. Decking was inspected and prepped before installing ice and water protection through key areas, with synthetic underlayment across the remaining sections for full coverage. Installed Malarkey Vista shingles in Silverwood with EZ Ridge XT along the hips and ridge to finish the system clean. All penetrations, including gooseneck vents and roof vents, were reset and properly flashed so everything ties in tight without relying on older materials or sealant. Metal components were fully replaced as well, including drip edge, rake edge, and valley metal, ensuring all transitions are consistent and built to perform as part of the same system. Final layout came together straight and uniform across all slopes. This type of full system rebuild avoids the common failures that happen when new materials are tied into aging components, especially around penetrations and transitions. View related project

This roof was a full replacement after the shingles were worn out, with granule loss showing across most slopes. The front garage and ridge lines were the worst of it, which is pretty typical once certain sections start breaking down faster than others. We took it back to the decking and rebuilt the roof as a complete system so everything lines up properly across the different elevations, instead of trying to chase repairs in a few areas. That also gave us a clean starting point to tie all sections together without patchwork showing through later. Venting was updated during the install while everything was open, and all edge metals and transitions were redone in black so the roof finishes clean around the perimeter and tie-ins. On roofs like this, where the wear is spread out and not isolated, it usually makes more sense to replace it outright rather than keep putting money into repairs that won’t hold evenly.
