Rocky View County roofing from Bearspaw to Springbank
West Rocky View County is acreage country. Bearspaw rolls across the hills north of the Bow River between Calgary and Cochrane, cut by the Big Hill coulee and the escarpment above the river. Springbank lies south of the Bow, reaching west toward Highway 22, with the Elbow River on its southern side.
Homes in both communities tend to be large, with steep roofs broken up by dormers and valleys, and a garage or shop sharing the yard. Chinooks hit the high ground hard, septic fields limit where heavy trucks can park, and the wooded slopes around Springbank make fire resistance part of choosing a roof.
Roofing & exterior services in Rocky View
Here the job is usually an acreage home plus whatever else stands on the property: a detached garage, a shop or a farm building.
Our specialty
Roof Replacement
We take the old roof down to the boards, swap out damaged sheathing and build a complete new system in shingles or steel.
Exteriors
Siding Replacement
Vinyl, fibre cement or metal siding for houses, garages and shops, matched to the trim and gables.
Roof maintenance
35-Point Roof Tune-Up
For roofs that aren’t ready for replacement: we reseal flashings and vents, replace damaged shingles and check for weak spots. Typically $1,500–$5,000 + GST, with a 2-year warranty.
Asphalt shingle roofing in Rocky View County
Shingles are still the most affordable way to cover a large roof with many slopes, and with Alberta’s freeze-thaw cycles they usually last about 15 years. Plenty of first roofs in Bearspaw and Springbank have reached that point, and an inspection shows how much life yours has left. How our roof replacements work.
Malarkey Emerald Pro™ certified contractor
Malarkey ranks Emerald Pro as its highest contractor tier. Roofs built with the full Malarkey system may be eligible for its enhanced manufacturer warranty.
Architectural shingles
Most popularThe usual choice when an original roof comes off: dimensional, layered and sensibly priced for a big roof.
Impact-rated shingles
Heavier shingles rated for impact, worth a look if hail is your main worry.
Designer shingles
Slate- and shake-look profiles for estate homes where the roof carries much of the look.
Built for wind
Metal roofing for Rocky View acreages
On a large house or a shop, many owners ask about steel. It has no tabs for wind to catch, snow slides off it, and it typically outlasts two shingle roofs, though it costs more at the start. We price shingles and metal on the same visit so you can compare. Read about metal roofing.
Siding replacement in Rocky View County
With no trees or neighbours to block it, acreage siding bakes in the sun and takes the full wind, and old vinyl usually gives out first on the south and west walls. Booking it alongside the roof and eavestroughs means the colours are chosen together and one crew follows the next. House wrap goes on first, then flashing at each window, door and corner, then the siding. See siding options.
Fibre cement
Our top pickWon’t burn, resists dents and holds its factory colour through hot summers and deep cold. Available as lap siding, board-and-batten or shingle profiles.
Vinyl
The budget option, and an easy way to refresh an older acreage house.
Metal siding
Ribbed steel that suits a shop or a modern farmhouse and looks right next to a steel roof.
What goes into a Rocky View roof replacement
Large acreage roofs have more valleys, vents and edges, and these four details matter most.
01
A sound deck under everything
With the shingles off, we check every board, replace soft or split ones and re-nail the rest.
02
Ice and water protection
A warm chinook afternoon followed by a hard frost builds ice at the eaves. Membrane along the eaves and in every valley keeps that water out of the house.
03
Flashing around skylights & vents
Skylights, chimneys and roof-to-wall joints are where estate homes tend to leak. Each one gets new metal and new boots instead of reused flashing.
04
Nailing and ridge caps for wind
Open fields give gusts a long run at the roof. We nail each shingle to the high-wind pattern, seal the starter rows along eaves and rakes and fasten ridge caps tightly, which the shingle maker also requires.
How a Rocky View roof replacement works
Here are the steps on a typical acreage job. Larger houses and extra buildings can add a day or two once materials arrive.
Quotes start with someone up on the roof, photographing the shingles, flashings and vents.
- 01
Inspection from the roof
We look over every slope, flashing and vent, check the ventilation and send photos of the trouble spots. See a recent tile roof inspection in Rocky View County →
- 02
Quote in writing
You receive a written quote covering materials, scope and timeline; siding or eavestroughs for the house or shop can be priced with it.
- 03
A careful, clean install
The bin is placed clear of the driveway and shop doors, and a magnet sweep picks up nails daily.
- 04
Final walkthrough and a return visit
We go over the finished roof with you, then return a year later once it has seen a full winter.
Roof problems on Rocky View acreages
Exposed Bearspaw hilltops
A house up on a rise north of the Bow gets the full force of a chinook. If ridge caps or edge shingles come loose year after year, the nails are no longer holding.
Septic fields and heavy trucks
Bearspaw homes rely on private septic or pump-out systems, and a loaded delivery truck or bin can damage a field. We agree where trucks will park before work begins.
Wildfire on Springbank hillsides
Some residents near Springbank Airport had to leave home on June 6, 2024, when a fire burned across a wooded hillside east of the airport. Rocky View County’s FireSmart page says to use only Class A, B or C rated roofing, so ask for the fire rating on every quote.
Aging cedar shake
Some older estate homes still have cedar shake. Once it splits and curls, the choices are architectural or designer shingles, steel, or rubber shake.
Valleys, skylights and chimneys
Every hip, dormer and skylight adds a joint where water can get in. Worn valleys and old flashing usually fail before the shingles around them do.
More than one building
A shop built years after the house wears out on its own schedule. Tell us about every building on the property and we will look at each roof on the same trip.
Our promise to Rocky View homeowners
10 / 50
Warranty in writing
Workmanship is backed by our 10-Year Labour Warranty in writing, and select shingles carry up to 50 years from the manufacturer.
WCB
Safe, respectful crews
Our WCB-covered roofers stay harnessed on every roof on the property, house and shop alike.
1 year
A visit one year later
A year after we finish, we return to check the roof once it has handled a winter and some chinooks.

Rocky View County roofing questions
Don’t see your question? Call us at (403) 333-0319.
How much will a new roof cost on my acreage?
The price is set by size, pitch, how many old layers there are, deck repairs and the material. We measure first, then itemize it for you.
Should I choose shingles or metal?
Shingles cost less today. Steel costs more at the start but sheds snow, stands up to wind and lasts far longer.
Do you work in Bearspaw?
Yes. We replace roofs across Bearspaw, from Lochend Road and Bearspaw Road to 12 Mile Coulee Road and Highway 1A, and we plan truck parking around septic fields.
Do you work in Springbank?
Yes. We cover Springbank from Springbank Road and the Old Banff Coach Road to Highway 8 and Elbow Valley, including homes near the airport.
What roofing does the County suggest for wildfire areas?
The County’s FireSmart page lists Class A, B or C rated roofing as the standard and asks owners to clear needles and leaves off the roof. The shingles we install carry a Class A fire rating.
Do you also install siding and eavestroughs?
Yes. Choose vinyl, fibre cement or metal siding, and we can add seamless eavestroughs, soffit and fascia.
What warranty do you offer?
Workmanship is covered by our 10-Year Labour Warranty, and depending on the shingle, the manufacturer adds up to 50 years on materials.
