Residential Roof Installation & Replacements
A new roof is one of the biggest investments you will make in your home, and it has to handle hail, heavy snow, and sudden temperature swings for decades. Markit Roofing provides complete roof replacement and residential roof installation for houses, duplexes, and townhomes across Alberta’s two largest cities, with every job handled from start to finish by our own Red Seal roofers.
Whether you need roof replacement in Calgary after a summer hailstorm or roof replacement in Edmonton after years of harsh winters, our team designs a roof that suits your home and budget. As an A+ BBB-rated residential roofing contractor, we give you clear material options, honest advice, and a written quote you can trust. Call Markit Roofing today to book your roof assessment.
Signs Your Home Needs a Full Roof Replacement Soon
Most homeowners only think about the roof when water appears on a ceiling, but a failing roof usually gives plenty of warning first. Spotting the signs early lets you plan the project on your schedule, compare materials without pressure, choose the best season for the work, and avoid paying for interior water damage on top of a new roof.
- Shingles are curling, cracked, or lifting.
- Granules keep collecting in eavestroughs.
- Daylight shows through your attic boards.
- Roof deck feels soft or spongy underfoot.
- Your roof is nearing the end of its life.
If you notice any of these, our roofers can inspect the roof, attic, and flashing and tell you honestly whether a targeted repair will do or a full replacement is the smarter spend. You get dated photos of every problem area and a plain-language explanation, so your decision is based on what is really happening up there, not on a sales pitch.
Home Roof Replacement Services
Full Shingle Roof Replacements
Our asphalt shingle roof replacement starts with a full roof tear-off, removing every old layer so nothing hidden is left under your new roof.
We then install a complete system: ice and water protection at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the deck, new drip edge, starter strips, step flashing at walls and chimneys, and matching ridge caps. We use the same manufacturer for every component where possible, so your full system warranty stays intact.
Class 4 Impact Shingle Upgrade
For homes in hail-prone neighbourhoods, a replacement is the perfect time to upgrade. We install impact-resistant shingles in Calgary and Edmonton that carry the highest UL 2218 Class 4 rating, meaning they are tested to withstand hail far better than standard products.
Some Alberta insurers offer premium discounts for Class 4 roofs, and the shingles come in the same colours and profiles as regular architectural shingle installation, so your home keeps its look.
Metal Roof Installs for Houses
Metal roofing lasts much longer than asphalt, sheds snow quickly, and stands up well to wind and hail. Our metal roof installation for homes includes standing seam panels in a wide range of colours, installed over high-temperature underlayment with concealed fasteners where the system allows.
Metal is a strong, long-term choice for Edmonton’s heavy snow load and for Calgary homeowners who want a roof they may never need to replace again.
New Build and Addition Roofing
Custom home builders, renovators, and homeowners adding a garage, sunroom, or second storey count on our team for new roof installation that ties in cleanly with the existing house structure. We work from your plans, coordinate with framers and other trades, and install roofs that meet Alberta Building Code requirements.
On additions, we blend new shingles with the existing roof and flash every joint so the tie-in never becomes a future leak

Home Styles Our Red Seal Roofers Re-Roof Each Year
Older bungalows often have several layers of shingles, board sheathing, and little attic ventilation. We strip everything back, add plywood where gaps are too wide, and bring the attic up to modern venting standards so your new roof lasts as long as it should. We also check old chimneys and plumbing stacks, which are often poorly flashed on homes of this age.
Two-storey homes in newer communities have steeper pitches, multiple valleys, and tall walls that need proper safety planning. Our crews use roof anchors and full fall protection, and we pay special attention to valleys and wall flashing, where most leaks on these homes begin. Dormers and bay window roofs also get brand-new step flashing on every sidewall.
Infill homes often mix steep slopes with low-slope sections, parapets and large windows close to the roofline. We combine shingle, metal and low-slope systems on the same home and detail every transition carefully, so modern designs stay watertight without losing their clean look. Colour-matched metal flashings keep sharp architectural lines crisp and tidy.
Larger homes on acreages bring bigger roof areas, detached garages and shops, and complex rooflines with dormers and turrets. We plan material deliveries and crew sizes around the property size and can re-roof several buildings in one project for a consistent finish across the whole property. We protect soft lawns and long driveways with plywood paths.
How Your Residential Roof Replacement Works, Start to Finish
Replacing a roof can feel overwhelming if you have never done it before. Markit Roofing keeps the process simple and transparent, with one point of contact from your first call to the final walkthrough, so you always know what is happening on your home, who is on site, and what the next step will be.
Home Roof Assessment and Quote
A Markit roofer visits your home, inspects the roof and attic, measures every slope, and photographs any damage. You then receive a written quote that clearly lists materials, scope, and price, with no pressure to sign on the spot and a clear breakdown of every cost.
Selecting Shingles and Colours
We bring sample boards so you can compare shingle styles, colours and metal options against your siding, trim and brick. If your roof has storm damage, we also explain how hail damage roof replacement and roof replacement with insurance work in practice.
Tear-Off and Roof Deck Repairs
On install day, we protect landscaping, windows, and siding, then strip every old shingle layer back to bare sheathing. We replace any rotten or soft sheathing before installing new materials, and we show you photos of what we find underneath before adding anything new.
Installing the New Roof System
Our Red Seal crew installs underlayment, flashing, shingles or metal panels, and balanced attic ventilation with intake and exhaust vents. Most homes are completed within a day or two, depending on roof size, pitch, access, and that day’s weather conditions.
Final Walkthrough and Clean-Up
Before we leave, we walk the property with you, run magnetic rollers across the lawn, flower beds, and driveway to collect stray nails, and remove every bin and scrap of debris. You then receive your warranty paperwork and photos of the finished roof.
