A Radium roofing company for condos, cabins and mountain homes
Radium sits where the Columbia Valley meets the entrance to Kootenay National Park, and its roofs take more wind than most of the valley. Gusts funnel along the Rocky Mountain Trench and over the benches above the village, and the most common call we get from Radium is shingles lifted or blown off a ridge or a south-facing slope. Add dry summer sun, wildfire season and a winter of snow and freeze-thaw, and an older roof can go from fine to leaking after one storm.
A lot of Radium is townhome complexes, resort condos and second homes owned by people who live in Calgary or Edmonton. That is the work we do most here: strata re-roofs building by building, insurance repairs after wind damage, and inspections with photo reports for owners who are not in town. Our crew is based in Invermere, a short drive south, so inspections, repairs and one-year check-ups are easy to book.

Strata and condo roofing in Radium Hot Springs
Radium has more townhome and condo complexes than almost anywhere in the valley, and strata roofing is a big part of what we do here. We have re-roofed Sable Ridge Resort, a 128-unit condominium complex on Columbia Avenue, Copper Horn Village on Prospector Avenue after wind damage, managed through an insurance claim, and townhome buildings on Ridge Road, including Radium Ridge. Strata projects run with one point of contact for the property manager or strata council, a written scope and price for each building, notices for residents and a tidy site around parked cars and walkways. More about our strata roofing.
Strata & condo re-roofs
Multi-buildingComplexes re-roofed building by building, with notices for residents, a written scope the council can approve and photos of every stage.
Wind and insurance claims
Photos and a written report of wind damage for the strata, the property manager and the adjuster, then the repair or replacement once the claim is approved.
Resorts & rentals
Shingle, metal and low-slope roofs, fascia, venting and eavestroughs on resort and rental buildings, scheduled around guests and the busy summer season.
Shingle roofing that holds in Radium wind
Wind is the biggest test for a shingle roof in Radium. Shingles that are under-nailed, or have lost their seal after years of sun, lift at the edges and ridges first and then let water in. With snow, freeze-thaw and strong summer sun on top of that, asphalt shingles in the upper Columbia Valley usually need replacing at around 15 years. When we replace a roof, we strip to the deck and install a complete system: ice and water protection at the eaves and valleys, high-wind nailing, sealed starter strips at every edge, balanced ventilation, new flashings and Class A fire-rated shingles. How our roof replacements work.
Malarkey Emerald Pro™ certified contractor
Emerald Pro is Malarkey’s highest contractor certification. Our installers follow the manufacturer’s full system, which is what makes enhanced wind and warranty coverage possible on eligible Radium roofs.
Architectural shingles
Most popularA heavier, dimensional shingle with a stronger wind rating than the older three-tab roofs still common on Radium townhomes.
Impact-rated shingles
A tougher shingle that resists cracking and scuffing from hail and wind-blown debris.
Designer shingles
Shake- and slate-look profiles for mountain homes, without the upkeep of real cedar.
Our 10-Year Labour Warranty comes with every Radium roof, and select shingle lines carry manufacturer warranties of up to 50 years.
Fire-resistant
Metal roofing in Radium Hot Springs
Metal is a natural fit for Radium. A steel roof is fire-resistant, with a Class A fire rating, so embers drifting in from a wildfire in the valley or the park have nothing to catch on. Concealed-fastener standing seam and properly fastened steel panels hold up to wind far better than old shingles, and metal sheds snow, will not rot and suits cabins and log homes. Because snow slides off metal, we plan snow guards over entrances, decks and parking. We also repair older metal roofs: loose screws, worn washers, lifted panels and flashing. More about metal roofing.

Fire-resistant siding in Radium Hot Springs
Plenty of Radium cabins and older homes still have wood or log-style siding that has dried out, split or started letting in water and pests, and owners want something that stands up better in wildfire season. James Hardie fibre cement is non-combustible, so embers will not set it alight, and it holds its colour in the strong valley sun. We often do siding, soffit and fascia together with the roof so the whole exterior is sealed at once. Every siding job goes over fresh house wrap, with windows, doors and corners flashed first. Compare our siding options.
James Hardie fibre cement
Fire-resistantNon-combustible and dimensionally stable, so it stands up to wind, embers and sun, and holds its factory colour for years. Comes in lap, board-and-batten and shingle looks.
Metal siding
Durable, non-combustible steel panels for garages, accent walls and modern mountain exteriors, and an easy match for a metal roof.
Vinyl
Lower cost and low maintenance, and a quick way to refresh a rental or cabin in a new colour.
Seamless
Eavestroughs, soffit and fascia in Radium
We are a full exterior company, not only a roofer. We install seamless eavestroughs and downspouts, replace soffit and fascia, and repair troughs that sag, leak or pull away. On Radium condo and townhome complexes, eavestroughs that overflow onto walkways and parking turn into ice in winter, so we size and pitch them for mountain run-off and route downspouts away from where people walk.

What goes into a Radium roof replacement
A Radium roof has to hold in strong wind, carry snow, shed meltwater and stand up to sun and wildfire season. These are the four places we spend extra time on every roof here.
01
A solid deck under everything
After tear-off we check every sheet of decking and replace anything soft or delaminated. On condo buildings we photograph the deck on each building so the strata has a record of what was found.
02
Ice and water protection
Membrane along the eaves, in every valley and around chimneys and skylights keeps meltwater from backing up under the roof when ice builds at the edge.
03
Flashing around chimneys & vents
Flashing and vent boots are where most leaks start. On a roof replacement we replace pipe boots and vents and re-flash chimneys, skylights and walls instead of reusing old parts.
04
Ridge, edges and nailing for high wind
Wind damage starts at the ridge, the rakes and the eaves. We use high-wind nailing, sealed starter strips on every edge and properly fastened ridge caps, plus balanced ventilation that keeps the deck cold under snow.
How a Radium roof replacement works
From the first inspection to the check-up a year later, this is what a Radium roof replacement looks like. Once materials arrive, most homes are finished in a few days, and strata projects are scheduled building by building.
Every Radium quote starts with a hands-on inspection of the roof, chimneys and vents. Our team includes a HAAG® and IICRC® certified inspector, which matters when wind damage goes through insurance.

Roof problems we see most in Radium
Wind-lifted and missing shingles
The most common Radium call. Gusts lift shingle tabs along ridges, rakes and exposed slopes, break the seal and blow pieces off. Caught early, it is a repair. Left, it lets water in.
Tired three-tab roofs on older complexes
Many townhome and condo buildings still have their original three-tab shingles, now brittle and losing granules. These are the roofs that fail first in a storm.
Leaks at vents and chimneys
Cracked vent boots and lifted flashing let water in around penetrations. We repair them, and on a roof replacement we replace every boot and re-flash chimneys.
Ice along the eaves and walkways
Snow that melts on a warm roof refreezes at the edge and in clogged eavestroughs, then drips onto walkways and parking. Ventilation, ice and water protection and working eavestroughs fix it.
Leaks nobody notices at second homes
When a condo or cabin sits empty for weeks, a small leak can soak the deck and insulation before anyone sees it. An inspection and photos tell you where the roof stands.
Older metal and log-cabin roofs
Metal roofs from the 1990s and 2000s often have loose fasteners and worn washers, and log homes need careful flashing where the roof meets the logs.
Asphalt & metal
Roof repair and tune-ups in Radium
Not every roof needs replacing. If yours has wind-lifted or missing shingles, a leak or loose metal flashing, we repair it, whether the roof is asphalt or metal. After a big wind we can inspect the roof and send photos, which is also what a strata or an insurance adjuster will want to see. A spring or fall tune-up catches small problems before they reach the deck.

- Metal roof repairs: loose fasteners, worn washers, seams and flashing
- Leak tracing around chimneys, skylights, vents and valleys
- Tune-ups with photos and a written report

Real questions from Radium property owners
Each of these is based on a real request from a Radium-area property owner or strata. We have removed names and addresses.
“The wind blew shingles off the ridge on several of our buildings. Can you check every unit and tell us whether it is a repair or a full replacement?”
Yes. We inspect each building, mark every damaged area and give the strata and the adjuster a written report with photos, then do the repairs or replacement once it is approved.
Strata roofing →“Our cabin has a metal roof from around 2000 and we live in Calgary full time. Bats have got in somewhere.”
We inspect the roof, soffit and fascia for the gaps animals use, re-fasten and re-seal the metal, close the openings and send you photos of what we found and fixed.
Roof repair →“We need about 300 square feet of new low-slope roof, but it is more complicated than that.”
Low-slope sections need a membrane system and proper drainage, and where they meet walls and steeper roofs is where they leak. We come out, look at the whole picture and quote it line by line.
Roof repair →“We only get to Radium a few times a year. Can you look at the roof without us there?”
Yes. We inspect the roof, send the photos and a written quote, and can schedule the work while you are away.

Don’t see your question? Call us at (250) 688-8553.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Radium Hot Springs?
Price depends on roof size and pitch, what is coming off, the condition of the deck and whether you choose shingles or metal. We inspect first, then give you a line-by-line written quote. For strata complexes, each building is priced separately.
Do you repair wind damage in Radium?
Yes. Wind-lifted and missing shingles are the most common call we get from Radium. We repair them, check the rest of the roof for lifted seals and send you photos. If the damage is widespread, we give you a written report you can use for an insurance claim.
Can you help with an insurance claim for wind damage?
Yes. We document the damage with photos and a written report for you, your strata or property manager and the adjuster, and once the claim is approved we do the repair or replacement. Our team includes a HAAG® certified inspector.
Do you re-roof strata and condo complexes in Radium?
Yes, it is a big part of our Radium work. We have re-roofed Sable Ridge Resort, Copper Horn Village and townhome buildings on Ridge Road. Projects run building by building with one point of contact, written scopes and notices for residents.
Do you do roof repairs and tune-ups, or only full replacements?
We do both. We repair asphalt and metal roofs, including leaks, wind damage, loose fasteners and worn flashing, and we do spring or fall tune-ups with photos of what we find.
Is a metal roof a good choice in Radium?
For many homes and cabins it is. Metal is fire-resistant with a Class A rating, holds up well in wind, sheds snow and lasts a long time. We quote metal and shingles side by side so you can compare.
I live in Calgary. Can you inspect my Radium property without me there?
Yes. We inspect the roof, send you the photos and a written quote, and can schedule and complete the work while you are away.
Do you install eavestroughs, soffit and fascia in Radium?
Yes. We install seamless eavestroughs and downspouts and replace soffit and fascia, either with a new roof or on their own.
Do you install fire-resistant siding?
Yes. We install James Hardie fibre cement, which is non-combustible, as well as metal and vinyl siding, often together with a new roof.
What areas around Radium do you serve?
