Read on to learn more about what goes into the costs of a roof replacement in Calgary so you can plan for it. 

Signs You Need a Roof Replacement 

Before you start pricing out a new roof, it’s important to recognize signs of damage. Some key indicators that it’s time to replace your roof include:

  • Cracks in the roof 
  • Curled or missing shingles 
  • Continuous leaks in the house  
  • Sagging in the ceiling 
  • Old or broken shingles and shakes 

Factors That Impact The Cost of a Roof Replacement in Calgary

There are several things that can influence the cost of your roof replacement. The more significant ones include: 

Full or Partial Roof Replacement

The cost will vary depending on how much of your roof is damaged and needs to be replaced. If your roof has multiple areas of concern or is outdated, you may require a full replacement — definitely the pricier option. If there are only minor issues, you may be able to get away with a partial replacement, keeping the cost down.

Roof Size

The size of your roof will impact the cost of replacing it. Materials are often priced by square foot, so a larger area will increase the price. Your roof’s size could also impact the materials you choose to use.   

Materials 

Not all materials are created equal. While asphalt is the more affordable option, it’s less durable than others, and will likely require more frequent repairs. Metal provides a more durable solution, but tends to cost more per square foot. A. Clark Roofing and Siding offers a variety of materials to suit your specific needs, including:

  • Architectural shingles 
  • Fiberglass shingles 
  • Cedar shakes 
  • Laminate shingles 
  • Metal roofing 
  • Rubber roofing

Pitch

The roof’s pitch, or steepness, can impact the replacement cost. Steeper roofs present a more complicated repair, requiring more time and labour. Similarly, if your roof is difficult to access or is blocked by obstacles, labour costs may increase.  

Custom Work

Adding custom work to your installation may also increase the complexity of your project. Be sure to mention any special ventilation, skylights, or custom flashing when getting an estimate on your roof replacement.
