Roofing Company Ellerslie

Markit Roofing is the roofing company Ellerslie property owners call for roofs that range from suburban homes to country acreages and commercial buildings. On Edmonton’s open southern edge, we install metal and shingle roofs, maintain flat commercial membranes, find stubborn leaks and restore aging roofs with coatings, with ten years of labour coverage.

Roofing Contractor Serving Ellerslie and Wernerville

Ellerslie sits on Edmonton’s southern edge, between the Anthony Henday Drive corridor to the north and Ellerslie Road to the south, with 66 Street and 91 Street on either side. The name dates back to the 1890s, when the area was a farming district along the old Calgary-Edmonton Trail and railway.

Today it is one of the most mixed neighbourhoods in the south end. Detached family homes sit beside row houses and apartment condos, while Wernerville on the east side keeps a country residential feel with larger lots and outbuildings. As a roofing company Ellerslie owners have used since 2013, Markit Roofing works on all of these, from a two-storey home to a shop or barn on an acreage.

Every Markit project runs under a COR-certified safety program, with WCB coverage for the full crew and AARA membership for the company. As a roofing contractor Ellerslie households and businesses can trust, we quote each building separately, explain material choices clearly and plan access around driveways, yards, livestock areas and loading doors.

Why Edge-of-City Ellerslie Roofs Need a Different Plan

Properties on the city’s edge face weather that sheltered inner neighbourhoods do not. Open farmland to the south lets wind gather speed before it reaches Ellerslie, so roof edges, ridge caps and loose metal trim take the full force of winter storms. Snow drifts across wide lots and settles heavily on low-slope sections, garages and outbuildings. Summer thunderstorms rolling north from the countryside can bring short, intense bursts of hail and rain that test seams and flashings.

The mix of buildings adds a second challenge. A detached home needs a different approach from a metal-clad shop, and both differ again from a flat-roofed commercial unit near the Ellerslie Road corridor. Many owners also have more than one roof type on the same property. The roofers Ellerslie Edmonton owners hire should be comfortable with shingles, metal panels and membranes alike. Markit Roofing works across all three, and as your local roofing company Ellerslie team, we recommend materials based on the building, its use and its exposure, not on what is easiest to install.

Ellerslie Roofing for Homes, Acreages and Businesses

Acreage Roofing Ellerslie

Acreage properties in Wernerville and the surrounding rural edge usually have more than one building to roof. Alongside a larger house, there may be a detached shop, garage, barn, horse shelter or storage building, each with different spans, slopes and uses. Our crews assess every structure on the property in one visit and give you a single written plan with separate prices, so you can phase the work over several seasons if needed. Our roofing company Ellerslie crews handle every building on the lot. For houses, we install architectural or impact-resistant shingles with full underlayment and ventilation. For shops and farm buildings, ribbed steel panels are often the most practical choice, as they span purlins, shed snow quickly and need little maintenance. We check purlin spacing and structural condition before new panels go on. Where older outbuildings have rusted fasteners or leaking skylight panels, targeted repairs can extend their life. We plan deliveries around fences, gates, septic fields and animals, and keep the yard free of nails and metal offcuts.

Metal Roofing Ellerslie

Metal is increasingly popular for homes on Edmonton’s exposed southern edge, and metal roofing Ellerslie homeowners choose can last decades longer than standard shingles. We install two main types. Standing seam panels have concealed fasteners and raised seams that lock together, giving a clean modern look and excellent resistance to wind and water. Exposed-fastener ribbed panels cost less and suit garages, shops and rural buildings. Both shed snow quickly, are non-combustible and handle hail well, although very large hail can dent softer profiles. Proper installation is what makes metal perform. Our crews install solid underlayment, closure strips at eaves and ridges, sealed trim at every wall and penetration, and snow guards above entrances and walkways where sliding snow could be a hazard. We explain how metal sounds in rain, how it expands and contracts with temperature, and what maintenance it needs, so you decide with full information. Colour options are wide, and we help match trim to your siding and windows.

Commercial Roofing Ellerslie

Commercial and light industrial buildings around the Ellerslie Road corridor typically rely on low-slope roofs, and their condition directly affects tenants, stock and equipment. Our commercial roofing Ellerslie service covers SBS modified bitumen, TPO, EPDM, PVC and built-up roofs. For new installations and full replacements, we design insulation and slope to move water to drains, detail rooftop units, curbs and parapets carefully, and schedule work to keep businesses open. For existing roofs, we offer semi-annual maintenance programs that clear drains, check seams and flashings, and document condition with photos and roof plans. When damage appears, we repair punctures, split seams and failed flashings quickly to prevent interior loss. Property managers receive clear reports with priorities and budget estimates for the next five to ten years. Our crews follow strict site safety, fall protection and hot work procedures, and we coordinate with building operators on access, noise and deliveries during every phase of the job.

Roof Leak Detection Ellerslie

Some leaks are obvious, but many are not. Water can travel along a membrane, purlin or rafter far from where it enters, so a drip in one room may start several metres away. Our leak detection service tracks down these hard-to-find problems on both homes and commercial buildings. We begin with a careful visual inspection of seams, flashings, penetrations and roof edges, then check the attic or ceiling space for staining, wet insulation and drip paths. Controlled water testing lets us wet one section at a time while someone watches inside, confirming the exact entry point. On flat roofs, moisture meters and infrared scans can reveal wet insulation trapped under the membrane, which often needs replacing to stop the problem returning. Once the source is confirmed, we explain the cause, show photos and provide a repair price before any work begins. Finding the true entry point first saves owners from paying for repeated patches that never solve the leak, which is why our roofing company Ellerslie crews never guess.

Roof Coatings Ellerslie

When a flat or metal roof is aging but structurally sound, a restoration coating can add years of life at a lower cost than replacement. As a roofing company Ellerslie businesses rely on, we first inspect the roof and take moisture readings to confirm it is a good candidate, since coatings cannot fix wet insulation or major structural damage. Suitable roofs are cleaned thoroughly, repaired at seams, fasteners and flashings, and primed where required. We then apply a fluid-applied coating such as silicone or acrylic in the specified thickness, building up extra layers at seams and around penetrations. On metal roofs, coatings seal rusting fasteners and lap joints, while reflective finishes lower summer heat gain inside shops and warehouses. Most coatings must be applied in dry weather above certain temperatures, so we schedule projects between late spring and early fall. You receive product data, application records and warranty details from the coating manufacturer, along with photos of each stage of the work for your files.
