Calgary Roofing
Roof repair, replacement, hail claims, metal, flat and commercial roofing across all four Calgary quadrants. The owner inspects your roof personally.
Our home city
Two of Canada's costliest hail events in the last six years happened here. Add 30-degree chinook swings, high wind off the foothills, and 175 cm of annual snowfall in the surrounding foothills, and a Calgary roof is asked to do things a roof in Toronto never is.
Mountain Standard Roofing is based at 222 Riverfront Ave SW and works right across the city: the northeast communities that took the worst of June 13, 2020, the far north and northwest streets that got hammered on August 5, 2024, the inner-city infills and flat-roofed additions in Killarney, Renfrew, Altadore and Bridgeland, the 1950s to 1970s bungalow belts in Fairview, Thorncliffe, Glenbrook and Bowness, and the newest developments out on the edges in Livingston, Seton and Cornerstone.
NE, NW, SE and SW, plus the surrounding towns. The owner travels to the roof; we do not quote from satellite images.
We photograph, mark and measure every hail hit, then we handle the claim paperwork and document the damage for your adjuster.
Asphalt shingle, standing seam and steel shingle metal, two-ply SBS and TPO flat, plus siding, soffit, fascia and attic work.
Show us a comparable written quote on the same scope and we beat it by $500. Free inspection either way.
How we work in Calgary
The owner gets on the roof. He checks shingle or membrane condition, hail bruising, flashing at every penetration, valleys, vents, the eave line for ice damage, and then goes into the attic to look at insulation depth, sheathing frost or staining, fan ducting and soffit airflow. That combination is the only way to tell a roof problem from an attic problem, and in Calgary they get confused constantly.
You get the photos, a written assessment, and a straight repair-versus-replace recommendation. If a $1,200 repair buys you six more winters, we will say that instead of quoting a replacement.

Line-item scope with materials, and options where there are genuine choices between shingle, metal or repair.
For storm damage we assemble the documentation your adjuster needs and handle the claim paperwork with you.

The two events that define this market are worth knowing precisely. June 13, 2020 concentrated tennis-ball hail into a 10 to 15 square kilometre core over northeast Calgary, causing roughly $1.2 to $1.5 billion in insured damage and stripping siding from entire streets in Saddle Ridge, Taradale and Skyview. August 5, 2024 was worse in dollar terms — about $3.3 billion in insured losses, the costliest hailstorm in Canadian history — with 5.1 cm stones measured in the city and the heaviest damage contours in the far north and northwest, in areas like Coventry Hills, Panorama Hills and Evanston.
The chinooks are the slower, quieter problem. Calgary gets dozens of freeze-thaw cycles a winter, and each one melts snow on the warm upper roof, runs the water down to a frozen overhang, and refreezes it into an ice ridge that pushes meltwater back under the shingles. That is the mechanism behind most of the ceiling stains we get called about in February, and the fix is nearly always in the attic: air sealing, insulation depth and clear soffit-to-ridge airflow.
On permits: Alberta work falls under the National Building Code – 2023 Alberta Edition, in force since May 1, 2024. The City of Calgary states that for most storm-damage repair and replacement work you will not need a development or building permit, but changing the roof structure, deck or assembly — adding a dormer, altering pitch, or replacing sheathing and framing — can require one. We confirm what applies to your address before work starts rather than discovering it halfway through.
Free inspection, owner on the roof
Photos, a written assessment and a straight recommendation. If the roof has hail damage we document it for your adjuster and handle the claim paperwork.
Get Your Free InspectionQuestions homeowners actually ask
You often cannot see it from the ground. Hail bruises the asphalt mat before granules visibly disappear, so it needs a close look at the shingle surface, the soft metals, the vents and the siding. Our inspection is free and we give you the photos either way.
That depends on your policy and your insurer's reporting window, so ask your broker. What we can do is inspect, document the damage for your adjuster with dated photos and measurements, and handle the claim paperwork.
It depends on square footage, pitch, layer count, material and access. After the inspection you get a written number with no surprises, plus a $500 price-beat guarantee against any comparable written quote.
