Who We Are
Signs You Need Roof Replacement in Calgary
Calgary’s extreme weather accelerates roof deterioration. Watch for these warning signs:
Missing Granules After Hail – Even pea-sized hail strips protective granules, exposing shingles to UV damage
Curled Shingle Edges – Chinook temperature swings (from -30°C to +15°C in hours) cause premature curling
Ice Dam Formation – Poor attic ventilation creates ice dams that destroy shingles and fascia boards
Interior Water Stains – Brown ceiling spots indicate active leaks requiring immediate attention
Sagging Roof Deck – Structural issues from snow load or water damage demand professional assessment
15+ Years

Calgary’s Climate: Why Professional Roofing Matters
Calgary experiences North America’s most volatile weather patterns. Your roof endures:
Annual Temperature Range of 70°C From -40°C winter lows to +30°C summer highs
5-10 Major Hailstorms Yearly – Causing $4.45 billion in Calgary property damage (2020-2024)
Chinook Winds Up to 120 km/h – Lifting improperly secured shingles and flashing
110cm Average Annual Snowfall – Creating 40-60 pounds per square foot of roof load
Professional installation using Calgary-specific techniques prevents 90% of weather-related failures. Vertex installers train specifically on high-wind nailing patterns and ice dam prevention methods proven effective in our climate.

Client Reviews
What Our Customers Say
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what our satisfied customers have to say about our roof replacement services.
“Roof replacement”
“We got three quotes for a full roof replacement and went with Vertex. Best decision we made. Gazi walked us through the materials, explained why he recommended what he did, and his team worked through some pretty cold weather to finish on schedule. The 10-year warranty sealed the deal for us. Our neighbours have already asked for his number.”

Frequently Asked Roofing Questions in Calgary
How do I know if I need a full roof replacement or just a repair?
If your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread shingle curling or granule loss, or you’re dealing with recurring leaks in multiple areas, a full replacement is usually the more cost-effective long-term option. Gazi offers free inspections and will give you an honest recommendation — if a repair will do the job, we’ll tell you.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements in Calgary take 1–3 days depending on the size of the home and weather conditions. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we start and keep you updated if anything changes.
What type of shingles do you use?
We work with top-tier manufacturers and recommend products suited to Calgary’s climate — hail-resistant, high-wind rated, and designed for our freeze-thaw cycles. Vertex Roofing & Exteriors Ltd will walk you through the options and help you choose based on your budget and priorities.
Does Vertex offer a warranty on roof replacements?
Yes. Every roof replacement comes with our 10-year workmanship warranty, on top of the manufacturer’s material warranty. If something goes wrong with our work, we come back and fix it — no questions asked.
