Since its inception in 1953, A. Clark Roofing & Siding has witnessed the evolution of roofing in Alberta. From humble beginnings that marked simple, functional roofs to innovative and sustainable solutions more commonly seen today, the journey of roofing in this province reflects changing aesthetic preferences and advancements in technology.
As we travel through the decades, it becomes evident that our company has not only witnessed but actively participated in the transformation of Alberta’s roofing landscape.
The Early Days: 1950s – 1960s
In the 1950s and 1960s, roofing in Alberta was predominantly about functionality. The focus was on materials that could withstand Alberta’s harsh winter weather and provide dependable shelter. It was during this time that asphalt shingles began to gain popularity thanks to their durability and affordability.
A. Clark Roofing & Siding was there throughout this timeframe, installing and maintaining asphalt shingle roofs and ensuring that homes and businesses were well-protected.
The Era of Experimentation: 1970s – 1980s
As the economy boomed across the province, so did Albertans’ appetite for architectural innovation. The 1970s and 1980s saw a diversification in roofing materials, including the introduction of metal roofing and an increase in the use of cedar shakes. These materials offered more longevity and gave homeowners more control over the appearance and functionality of their roofs.
A. Clark Roofing & Siding adapted to these changes, mastering new techniques and materials to meet the evolving preferences of Alberta homeowners.
The Push for Sustainability: The 1990s – 2000s
The 1990s and 2000s brought a heightened awareness of environmental issues and, with those, a push toward more sustainable roofing solutions. Materials like recycled rubber and solar tiles began to emerge, offering eco-friendly alternatives without sacrificing performance.
Energy efficiency became a priority, and A. Clark Roofing & Siding was there at the forefront, implementing green roofing solutions that contributed to a healthier planet and reduced utility costs for homeowners.
The Modern Era: 2010s – Present
Today, the roofing industry in Alberta is characterized by a blend of aesthetic appeal, durability, and sustainability. Innovations such as cool roofing materials that reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat, and green roofs that support plant life are becoming more prevalent. The industry is also embracing new technologies, with advancements in roofing systems offering better insulation and energy efficiency.
