    Residential Roof Installation & Replacement Services

    A residential roof replacement is one of the bigger decisions you will make as a homeowner, and Markit Roofing makes it a straightforward one. Whether your current roof has reached the end of its life, taken repeated hail and snow damage, or simply needs to be done right on a new build, we handle the full job from tear-off to final cleanup.

    Homeowners across Calgary and Edmonton trust our team because we explain your options in plain language, recommend materials that suit Alberta weather and your budget, and never push you toward work you do not need. Our certified crews install shingle, metal, and low-slope systems to manufacturer specification, so your warranty stays valid and your home stays protected through every season. From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, you deal with people who show up when they say they will, keep the site clean, and treat your property with the same care they would give their own.

    When It Is Time to Replace Your Roof

    Alberta roofs work hard. Hail, wind, heavy snow load, and freeze-thaw cycles wear materials down faster here than in milder climates. When shingles curl, granules fill your gutters, or repeated repairs stop holding, replacement usually costs less over time than patching a failing roof year after year. A sound new roof protects your decking, insulation, and everything inside your home from water damage. It also improves energy efficiency and resale value. We help you weigh repair against replacement honestly, so you spend your money where it genuinely counts and not a dollar before you need to.
     
    What a Full Roof Replacement Includes:
    • Complete tear-off and disposal of old roofing material
    • Inspection and repair of the roof decking underneath
    • New underlayment, ice and water shield, and flashing
    • Installation of your chosen shingle, metal, or membrane system
    • Ridge venting, valleys, and a thorough site cleanup
    Replacing the entire system matters because hidden problems lie beneath the shingles. Rotted decking, worn flashing around chimneys and vents, and failed underlayment are common on older Calgary and Edmonton homes. We expose those issues during tear-off and fix them before the new roof goes on, so you are not paying to cover up trouble. Every layer is installed to code and to the manufacturer’s spec, which keeps your product warranty intact and your home properly sealed against Alberta weather.

    Our Process

    Free Consultation and Roof Assessment

    Everything starts with a proper look at your roof. We come to your home, inspect the existing system inside and out, and check the attic and decking, wherever we can safely access, for signs of moisture, rot, or poor ventilation. Then we sit down with you and explain what we found in language that makes sense, without jargon or scare tactics.
     
    You get an honest read on the condition of your roof, whether replacement is the right call, and your realistic options. We talk through materials, colours, cost, and timing so you can make a confident decision at your own pace. This first step is completely free, and there is no obligation to move forward with us afterward. Our goal is to ensure you understand exactly what you are buying and why before a single shingle is ordered for your home.

    Material Selection and Detailed Quote

    Once you decide to replace, we help you choose the right system for your home and climate. Asphalt shingles offer proven value and a wide range of looks. Metal roofing sheds snow well and lasts for decades with little upkeep. Low-slope sections at the back of a home may call for a membrane system instead. We explain the trade-offs of each option in terms of cost, lifespan, appearance, and performance in Alberta winters.
     
    After you choose, you receive a clear written quote that spells out materials, labour, timeline, and warranty coverage in full. No vague estimates and no hidden line items buried in the total. You know the complete scope and price before we schedule your installation date, so there are no surprises on the day the crew arrives at your door.

    Installation Day and On-Site Care

    On installation day, our certified crew arrives on schedule and protects your property before any work begins. We cover landscaping, move what needs moving, and set up safely around your home and driveway. The old roof is removed, the decking is inspected and repaired where needed, and the new system is installed layer by layer to specification. Most residential roofs are completed in one to a few days depending on size, complexity, and the weather that week.
     
    Throughout the job, we keep you informed of progress and any decisions that come up, so nothing happens without your knowledge. We work efficiently without cutting corners because a roof done in a hurry is one that fails early and costs you again. Quality and safety guide the pace of every crew we send out to an Alberta home.

    Cleanup and Final Walkthrough

    When the roof is finished, the job is not over until your property is clean. We remove all old materials, sweep for stray nails with magnets, and haul everything away so your yard looks the way it did before we arrived, minus the worn-out roof. Then we walk the completed roof with you and point out the workmanship, the flashing details around chimneys and vents, and the ridge venting.
     
    We confirm your warranty paperwork, explain what it covers, and answer every question you still have. If anything is not right, we make it right before we consider the project done. This final step is where we earn the trust that brings homeowners back to us for future work and leads them to recommend Markit to their neighbours and family across Calgary and Edmonton. A clean, finished job is the last impression we leave, and we take it seriously.

    Why Homeowners Choose Markit Roofing

    Your roof is only as good as the people who install it. Our crews are certified, trained, and experienced with the specific demands of Alberta roofing, from steep pitches to heavy snow load to proper ice and water protection at the eaves where ice damming forms. Manufacturer certification also means we can offer stronger warranty coverage on many systems because the products are installed exactly as the manufacturer requires. You are not handing your home to a rotating cast of unknown subcontractors who move on the next day. You get a skilled, accountable team that knows how to do the job right the first time, so your new roof performs the way it should for years to come.
    We install roofing products chosen to stand up to Calgary and Edmonton conditions, not the cheapest option that quietly inflates a margin. Good shingles, proper underlayment, quality flashing, and correct venting all work together to keep water out and let your roof breathe through the seasons. Cutting costs on materials is the fastest way to end up with a roof that leaks or fails early, and we simply will not do that to your home. When we quote a system, we tell you exactly what it is, how long it should last, and what warranty backs it up. You end up with a roof built entirely from components designed to withstand the harsh climate you actually live in year-round.
    Roofing has a reputation for pressure and surprises, and we work hard every day to be the opposite. We tell you the truth about your roof, even when the honest answer is that you do not actually need a full replacement yet. When you do need one, we explain your options clearly and without upselling you into extras. You get a written quote you can understand, regular updates during the job, and a straight answer to every question you raise. Clear communication is not treated as a bonus at Markit. It is simply how we run every project, because a homeowner who knows what is happening at each step can trust the work being done on their home.
    A roof replacement should come with real protection, and ours genuinely does. Depending on the system you choose, you get manufacturer warranty coverage for the materials, plus our own workmanship guarantee for the installation. Just as important as the paperwork, we stand behind the work in practice. If an issue arises after the job is done, you call us, and we respond and address it. We are a local Calgary and Edmonton contractor with a reputation to protect in this community, not a crew that disappears the moment the cheque clears. That accountability is part of what you pay for, and it is a major reason homeowners feel confident choosing us for a project this significant.

    Planning Your Roof Replacement With Confidence

    A little preparation goes a long way toward a smooth replacement, and knowing what to look at before you commit makes the whole project easier. The points below cover practical considerations for homeowners, from timing your project around Alberta seasons to protecting your investment once the new roof is on. None of this is meant to pressure you. It is the same guidance we give homeowners across Calgary and Edmonton during a free consultation, so you can move forward feeling informed and in control of the decision rather than rushed into it.

    Timing Your Project Around Alberta Seasons

    Roof replacement can be done through most of the year here, but timing does affect the experience. Late spring through early fall gives crews the most stable weather and predictable schedules. Booking ahead of peak season often means shorter waits and more flexibility on your install date. If your roof is failing now, do not wait for perfect conditions, since active leaks only worsen. We help you choose a sensible window based on your roof’s current condition and the forecast.

    Budgeting Realistically for the Work

    A roof replacement is an investment, and an honest budget accounts for more than the shingles. Decking repairs found during tear-off, upgraded flashing, ventilation improvements, and your choice of material all shape the final figure. The cheapest quote is rarely the true cost once corners show up later. Our written quote lays out every line so you can see where your money goes and plan accordingly. We would rather you understand the full picture up front than face a surprise once the old roof comes off.

    Choosing a Material That Fits Your Home

    The right material depends on your home’s style, your budget, and how long you plan to stay. Asphalt shingles suit most homes and offer strong value. Metal costs more up front but lasts decades and handles snow well. If curb appeal or resale is a priority, colour and profile matter too. We walk you through how each option looks and performs on homes like yours, including maintenance and lifespan, so the roof you choose fits both the house and the years you expect to spend under it.

    Protecting Your Investment After Installation

    A new roof performs best when it is looked after. Simple habits extend its life: keeping gutters clear, watching for lifted shingles after big storms, and booking an occasional inspection to catch small issues early. Good attic ventilation, which we address during installation, prevents heat and moisture buildup from below, which shortens a roof’s life. We explain the basics during your final walkthrough, and we remain available afterward. A roof cared for from day one repays you with decades of reliable protection.

    Working With a Contractor You Can Trust

    Modified Bitumen or Rubberized Membranes
    The contractor you choose matters as much as the material. Look for a local company with certified crews, clear written quotes, real warranties, and a reputation you can verify with neighbours. Ask how they handle surprises, such as rotted decking, and whether cleanup is included. At Markit, we answer those questions plainly so you can be confident before you commit. Choosing a trustworthy contractor is the best way to make sure your replacement is done once, done right, and backed if anything ever needs attention.
