Roofing for Highlands’ Historic Homes

Highlands is one of Edmonton’s oldest and most cherished neighbourhoods, a historic riverside district on the city’s east side celebrated for its early twentieth-century character homes and mature, established streets. Many houses here date back generations and feature period detailing, steep gables, and traditional rooflines, which call for a roofer who understands heritage construction.

Markit Roofing brings that understanding to every home of this vintage. Our certified crews have worked extensively on older, more elaborate roofs and know how the passage of decades, combined with Edmonton’s punishing snow, ice, and freeze-thaw, gradually wears at aged shingles, seals, and flashing. The neighbourhood’s proximity to the North Saskatchewan River valley and its dense tree canopy bring added moisture and debris considerations, all of which shape how we care for roofs here.

Whether a period home needs a discreet repair or a complete roof renewal, we deliver honest evaluations and workmanship that honour the property's character, supported by a team that remains accountable and easy to reach once the job is finished.

Every project begins with a free consultation and a detailed written estimate, so the full scope of the work and its cost are set out before anything starts. We take the time to explain what we find and recommend only what a period home genuinely needs, never more.

OUR SERVICES

Emergency Roof Repair Service

When damage strikes a heritage home in Highlands, a swift and sensitive response is essential to both protect the interior and preserve the fabric of an irreplaceable older property. Markit Roofing offers emergency roof repair across the district for storm and hail damage, sudden leaks, shingles lifted or torn away by high winds, and drainage overwhelmed by heavy snow or rain. Upon reaching the home, our crew works to pinpoint where the trouble begins, stem the water from entering, and protect ceilings, insulation, and original interior features from further harm, taking special care with the aged and intricate roofs typical of the area. Steep gables and traditional detailing are handled with the skill they call for. With the situation secured, we explain clearly what went wrong and outline a defined plan for a durable repair, helping owners safeguard both their home and its heritage from the serious costs that follow when water seeps into an older building.

Roof Installation & Replacement

Renewing the roof on a Highlands heritage home is a considered undertaking, and Markit Roofing treats it with the planning and craftsmanship it warrants. We start with a complete assessment of the existing roof and the structure beneath it, then propose materials suited to Edmonton’s snow load and temperature range as well as to the period character of the home, whether that means quality shingles or a more tailored approach for a traditional roofline. Our certified team carries out meticulous tear-off, responsible removal of the old roof, and exacting installation, protecting mature gardens and the property at every turn. Each new roof is finished with sound flashing, sealing, ventilation, and detailing sympathetic to the home, and comes with a solid written warranty. The outcome is a lasting, finely finished roof that protects and complements a historic property for decades, fitted by a contractor that remains accountable well after the work concludes.

Roof Inspection & Leak Detection

In the older homes of Highlands, roofing troubles frequently develop behind period detailing, and by the time they reveal themselves indoors, the damage may already be extensive. Markit Roofing provides detailed inspections and precise leak detection for heritage homes across the neighbourhood. We study shingles, flashing, valleys, seals, ventilation, and the traditional junctions where water is most likely to collect, then follow any leak to its true origin rather than addressing only what shows on the surface. Owners are given documented findings with supporting photographs and a straightforward recommendation, whether that points to a sensitive repair or a longer-term maintenance plan. Regular inspection matters especially on aged, elaborate roofs, where small faults left alone can turn into expensive interior damage to a valued home. In every instance, we set out a clear and honest account of the roof’s condition and thoughtful advice on how best to protect a property of genuine worth.

Waterproofing & Coating

Protecting a Highlands home from moisture is a real priority, given how Edmonton’s freeze-thaw cycles and the traditional rooflines of heritage houses create points where water can enter. Markit Roofing applies waterproofing treatments and protective coatings that seal exposed areas, strengthen flashing and joints, and create a durable barrier against water at valleys, penetrations, and vulnerable period detailing. These measures prove particularly valuable at the intricate junctions and low points where ice tends to gather, or water lingers once the snow recedes. More than simply keeping leaks out, capable waterproofing lightens the wear that moisture and shifting temperatures inflict on an older roof, prolonging its life and pushing back the expense of major work. Our team determines whether waterproofing is suitable for a given roof, prepares each surface with care, and applies the material to a high standard, offering Highlands homeowners a measured way to protect a property of lasting character.

Gutter Installation & Cleaning

Dependable drainage is vital on Highlands’ heritage homes, where mature trees and heavy seasonal snow put considerable strain on the gutter system. Markit Roofing installs, repairs, and cleans gutters across the district, fitting quality, seamless systems in harmony with an older home and servicing existing ones so water is safely guided clear of the roof and foundation. When leaves, debris, or ice obstruct a gutter, the overflow runs down the walls, pools at the base of the house, and can build into damaging ice dams through the colder months, a real concern on a period property. Our team clears every blockage thoroughly, examines for sagging, leaks, and faulty slope, and fits replacement gutters correctly sized for Edmonton’s rainfall and snowmelt. We also advise regular seasonal cleaning, particularly in dense tree canopies. Protecting a home of heritage value often starts with drainage that performs reliably, and Markit Roofing ensures that it does.
