Soffit & Fascia

Roof inspections do not always lead to roof replacement. On this home, the owner wanted the roof checked because it had never been inspected after a hailstorm several years earlier. The roof was still serviceable, but the inspection uncovered the kind of smaller maintenance issues that can gradually become leak points if they are left alone. Several cap shingles required repair, and older sealant around vents, flashings and the chimney collar had begun to break down. Those areas were resealed, exposed fasteners were addressed, and the eavestroughs were cleaned as part of the maintenance. During the gutter cleaning, we also found an eavestrough corner that needed to be recaulked and repaired it during the same visit. The inspection also gave us the opportunity to document a few exterior items outside the immediate roof-maintenance scope, including damaged siding and window trim/flashing that would benefit from a colour-matched sealant repair on a return visit. Preventative roof maintenance is often about catching these small details early. A loose cap, failed bead of sealant or open joint may not look significant on its own, but dealing with them before water gets involved can extend the useful life of the roof and reduce the chance of a more expensive repair later. roof inspection and preventative maintenance

Roof replacements often happen after a leak or storm damage, but many homeowners choose to replace their roof before it reaches that point. That was the case on this home in Cochrane, where the surrounding neighbourhood had already seen many roofs replaced over the past few years. Rather than waiting for problems to develop, the homeowners decided it made sense to invest in a new roofing system while the timing was still their choice. A proactive roof replacement also gives homeowners the opportunity to upgrade materials instead of simply replacing what was there before. For this project, a complete Malarkey Vista Class 4 impact-resistant roofing system was installed, along with new 26-gauge W-style valley metal, custom perimeter metals, high-profile ridge caps and compatible underlayments. On homes with multiple valleys, roof transitions and wall connections, those details are just as important as the shingles themselves because they help protect the areas that see the most drainage and seasonal movement. Projects like this show that replacing a roof before it begins leaking can be a practical long-term decision. Instead of reacting to an emergency, homeowners can choose upgraded materials, complete the installation under planned conditions and leave the home with a roofing system designed to handle Alberta's changing weather for years to come.

Detached garages in Calgary take the same beating from the weather as the house, but they are often the last structure on the property to be updated. On this garage, the original siding had reached the point where replacing a few isolated sections would only have left more visible differences across the exterior. The existing cladding was removed so the new vertical panel layout could be planned across the entire structure. With this style of siding, the layout matters because the spacing of the panels and battens becomes very noticeable around windows, doors, corners and the gable. New battens were installed to complete those transitions, and new fascia finished the roofline so every elevation tied together instead of looking like a series of separate repairs. Replacing the full exterior also avoided the patchwork appearance that often develops when siding installed years apart begins to fade or weather differently. While the new vertical panels gave the garage a more modern appearance, the real difference came from laying out the entire system before installation so the finished elevations remained balanced from one side of the building to the next. For homeowners considering garage siding replacement in Calgary, this project is a good reminder that installation is about more than the siding panels themselves. On vertical siding, proper panel layout and batten placement have just as much impact on the finished result as the material that's being installed.

This eavestrough service in Calgary began as a repair to a damaged corner and an attempt to address leakage with sealant. During the work, the installer found that debris buildup and the existing slope were preventing the system from draining properly at the affected corner. The damaged corner was replaced, the eavestrough was reworked to improve drainage, and leaf guard was installed to reduce future buildup. The completed work corrected the underlying drainage issue rather than relying on sealant alone.

This Bowness project involved a full eavestrough replacement along with new soffit, fascia and downspouts around the home. The original roofline components were weathered, and several areas still had exposed wood that needed to be covered as part of the work. We removed the older brown system and installed new white aluminum components for a cleaner finish and more consistent drainage around the property. The completed work also updated the gable ends and tied the roofline together without changing the existing exterior walls.

The soft metal components on this property had consistent hail damage, with visible denting along the eavestrough runs, fascia face, and downspout sections. The damage was uniform across all elevations, making spot repairs impractical and noticeable once completed. On hail jobs like this, the damage is usually consistent across all soft metals, so partial repairs tend to stand out and don’t hold up long term. We removed the damaged eavestrough, fascia capping, and downspouts and completed a full replacement to restore proper drainage and clean up the overall look of the home. New materials were installed with correct slope, alignment, and secure fastening throughout. All corners, joints, and terminations were reworked to eliminate previous weak points and ensure long-term performance.

This job involved maintenance and repair work on a standing seam metal roof in Rutland Park SW Calgary. During cleaning, we found areas along the fascia and roof edge where the sealant had failed and sections were starting to break down, especially around the chimney and transition points. These are common spots where water starts to get in if they’re not kept up. The eavestrough system was cleaned out first to get drainage moving properly again, then we worked through the fascia repairs and re-secured any loose edge details. Sealing was redone around the roof edge and chimney transitions so everything is closed up properly and not relying on old or failed sealant. On maintenance jobs like this, catching these areas early usually prevents bigger issues down the line, especially on metal systems where water tends to track along seams and edges.
