Roofing Company Coventry Hills

Markit Roofing is the roofing company Coventry Hills homeowners call when a large two-storey roof starts to leak at its valleys, skylights or dormers. Built from the early 1990s on, homes here have busy rooflines with many joints that age at different rates. We re-roof, repair and detail every one of them, backed by our 10-year labour warranty.

Roofing Contractor for North Calgary Coventry Hills

Coventry Hills was established in 1991 at the northern edge of Calgary, framed by Stoney Trail, Deerfoot Trail, Nose Creek, Country Hills Boulevard and Harvest Hills Boulevard. It is one of the larger north-side communities, with thousands of detached family homes on curving crescents.

The houses reflect their era. Front-attached garages with bonus rooms above, stacked gables, dormers and vaulted ceilings with skylights were popular builder features, and they give each roof far more valleys, edges and penetrations than a simple bungalow. As a roofing company Coventry Hills families have relied on since 2013, Markit Roofing focuses on these junctions because that is where nearly every leak in the area begins.

Our team follows a COR-certified safety program; every crew member is WCB-insured, and Markit is an AARA member. As a roofing contractor Coventry Hills homeowners can trust, we put the full scope in writing, set up proper fall protection on steep two-storey slopes, and review the finished work with you on the ground before we leave.

Why Complex 1990s Rooflines Leak in Coventry Hills Homes

A simple roof sheds water in straight lines. A roof with several gables, dormers and a garage tie-in forces water to change direction many times, and every change happens at a joint. Valleys carry the heaviest flow, so their shingles wear out years before the open slopes. Step flashing along dormer walls and the garage-to-house junction often relied on builder-grade sealant, which dries and cracks after two decades of sun and frost. Skylights from the 1990s add plastic domes and curb seals that were never designed to last as long as the house.

Exposure plays a part too. Coventry Hills sits on high open ground at the city’s north edge, where winter winds blow snow across the slopes, and pack drifts into valleys and behind dormers. When that snow melts and refreezes, water backs up under the shingles at exactly the weakest joints. The roofers Coventry Hills Calgary homeowners hire need to trace water to these points. Our roofing company Coventry Hills crews map every junction first, then recommend the fix that solves the real cause.

Coventry Hills Roofing Services From Ridge to Soffit

Re-Roofing Coventry Hills

A full roof replacement Coventry Hills homeowners with us is built around the complexity of their roofline. After stripping the old shingles, we inspect the deck and replace any damaged sheathing, paying extra attention to valley centres and dormer bases where long-term moisture is common. Ice and water membrane goes into every valley, along all eaves and around each dormer and skylight, not just the minimum required by code. We then install new step flashing piece by piece along every wall, rather than reusing old metal, and finish valleys in either a closed-cut or open metal style depending on water flow. Because these homes are tall, we use roof anchors, guardrails where needed, and debris chutes to protect siding and landscaping. Most Coventry Hills re-roofs take two to four days given the number of details. You choose from impact-resistant architectural shingles in a range of colours, and every installation is covered by manufacturer warranties alongside our 10-year labour warranty.

Valley Repairs Coventry Hills

Valleys are the gutters of a roof, and on large Coventry Hills homes they can carry water from two full slopes at once. When shingles in the valley wear thin, crack or were cut poorly at installation, water slips underneath and appears as stains on upper-floor ceilings or along interior walls. Our roof repair Coventry Hills service opens the affected valley, removes worn shingles and inspects the underlayment and deck below. Damaged wood is replaced, and a new strip of ice and water membrane is laid along the full valley length before shingles are reinstalled. Where a valley is prone to ice damming, we can switch to an open metal valley that sheds water and ice more quickly. We also check that downspouts at the valley base are not overflowing onto the roof below, a common cause of repeated leaks over garages. Repairs are matched to the surrounding shingles as closely as available stock allows, and you receive photos of the hidden layers before the valley is closed again. A roofing company Coventry Hills owners trust shows you what is under the shingles.

Skylight Repair Coventry Hills

Skylights were a popular feature in 1990s Coventry Hills homes, especially over kitchens, stairwells and vaulted living rooms. After twenty or more years, their seals, curbs and flashing kits often fail. Common signs include drips during heavy rain, condensation running down the frame, stained drywall around the opening and cloudy or cracked plastic domes. We first find out whether the problem is a true leak or interior condensation, since the fixes are very different. For leaks, we remove surrounding shingles, rebuild or reseal the curb, and install a new manufacturer flashing kit with membrane underneath. Units past their service life can be replaced with modern double-glazed skylights that have better seals and less heat loss. If you no longer want the skylight, we can remove it, frame and deck the opening, and shingle over it so the roof is continuous. Interior drywall repair can be coordinated separately. Every skylight job finishes with a water test and photos of the completed flashing.

Garage Roofs Coventry Hills

Many Coventry Hills homes have a front garage with a bonus room built above it, and that design creates two common roof problems. First, the joint where the garage roof meets the taller house wall relies on step and counter flashing that often cracks or separates as the building settles. Second, bonus rooms sit over an unheated garage with little attic space, so heat leaks upward, melts snow, and forms ice dams along the lower eaves. Our crews reflash the garage-to-house junction with new step flashing, counter flashing and membrane, and check the siding above for hidden water damage. To control ice dams, we improve venting at the garage roof edge and, where possible, add insulation and air sealing in the limited space above the bonus room. On detached rear garages, we handle shingle or flat membrane roofs as needed. These targeted fixes stop the cold-room complaints and recurring drips that many owners have lived with for years, and our roofing company Coventry Hills crew explains each one before work starts.

Soffit & Fascia Coventry Hills

Soffits and fascia are the boards and panels under the roof edge, and on Coventry Hills homes they are now as old as the original roofs. Aluminum soffit panels can loosen in high winds and let birds, bats or wasps into the attic. Wooden fascia behind older eavestroughs may rot where water has overflowed for years. Blocked or painted-over soffit vents also starve the attic of intake air, contributing to frost and ice dams. Our team replaces damaged soffit with vented aluminum panels, wraps or replaces rotted fascia boards, and secures loose trim before it fails in a storm. When we install a new roof, we check the full edge assembly so the drip edge, fascia, soffit and eavestroughs work as one system. Small repairs can be done in a single visit, while full perimeter replacements usually take one to two days depending on the length of the roof edge. As a local roofing company Coventry Hills residents know we match colours to your existing trim where possible and leave the perimeter of the house clean and tidy when we finish.
