Crowsnest Pass roofs for snow, wind and fire season
Crowsnest Pass strings five old coal towns along Highway 3: Coleman, Blairmore, Frank, Bellevue and Hillcrest. The 2021 census counted 5,695 residents and 3,403 homes, and almost one in five of those homes is not anyone’s full-time address. That tells you how many cabins and weekend places are up here.
Homes in the Pass sit at about 1,300 metres. Coleman averages roughly 177 cm of snow a year, Environment Canada has issued wind warnings here for gusts up to 100 km/h, and the 2003 Lost Creek fire, which displaced about 2,000 people, is still a local memory.
Crowsnest Pass roofing and siding
We work on older bungalows from the mining days, newer two-storeys, cabins and acreage homes, plus the detached garages and shops beside them. Roof, siding and eavestroughs can go on one quote, so it all gets done in one trip up the highway.
Our specialty
Roof Replacement
Stripped to the boards, deck repaired, then a new roof in shingles or steel with fresh flashing and vents.
Exteriors
Siding Replacement
Fibre cement, vinyl or steel siding, with trim and flashing redone while the walls are open.
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 Crowsnest Pass
Asphalt shingles cover most homes in the Pass, and they are on FireSmart Canada’s list of recommended roof materials. Older houses may have more than one layer from past jobs. We take every layer off so the deck can be checked before anything new goes on. See how a replacement is done.
Malarkey Emerald Pro™ certified contractor
Malarkey’s Emerald Pro program is its top tier for contractors, and we install the full Malarkey roof system.
Architectural shingles
Most popularThe usual pick when an old three-tab roof comes off. Thicker and layered, so it handles wind better.
Impact-rated shingles
Built to take a hit, whether it is hail or a slab of ice sliding off a higher roof.
Designer shingles
Shake and slate looks without real wood, which FireSmart Canada advises against on roofs.
Built for snow
Metal roofing in Crowsnest Pass
Steel lets snow slide off instead of piling up, has no tabs for the wind to catch, and does not burn. For a cabin that sits empty for weeks, that means less to worry about. It costs more up front, so we quote steel and shingles on the same visit and you choose. Read about metal roofing.
Siding replacement in Crowsnest Pass
Older siding in the Pass is often original wood or early vinyl that has cracked or gone chalky in the strong mountain sun. If the roof is due too, doing both together means the colours are picked as a set and the crew is only here once. Walls get new wrap and flashing at every window and door before the siding goes up. See siding options.
Fibre cement
Our top pickDoes not burn, which counts in wildfire country, and keeps its colour and shape through long, cold winters. Lap, board-and-batten or shingle styles.
Vinyl
Lowest cost and easy upkeep, a common choice on town lots.
Metal siding
Steel panels for garages, shops and cabins, and a natural match for a metal roof.
What goes into a Crowsnest Pass roof replacement
Heavy snow, mountain wind and wildfire season shape how we build a roof here. These four details get extra care.
01
A deck that carries the snow
Once the old roof is off, soft or rotten boards are replaced and the rest refastened, so the deck can hold a full winter of snow.
02
Membrane where ice dams form
Sunny days and cold nights at this elevation build ice dams at the eaves. Membrane at every eave and valley keeps that meltwater out of the house.
03
Flashing at chimneys and vents
Brick chimneys and old vent stacks are where most leaks start under deep snow. All of them get new boots and new metal flashing.
04
Fastened for valley wind
Shingles are nailed in the high-wind pattern, starter strips are sealed along eaves and rakes, and ridge caps are fastened tight against gusts down the valley.
How a Crowsnest Pass roof replacement works
From the first look at your roof to cleanup, here is how it goes. The Pass is a longer drive for us, so we line jobs up with our trips along Highway 3.
We start up on the roof, photographing shingles, flashing and vents so you see what we see.
- 01
A full inspection
We go over the roof from the ridge down to the eaves and photograph every worn, loose or leaking spot.
- 02
The quote, written out
Materials, scope and timing are listed in writing, and siding, eavestrough or garage work can be priced alongside.
- 03
Neat and safe site
We settle on a bin location before day one and run a magnetic nail sweep around the house at the end of each shift.
- 04
Walkthrough, and back in a year
Together we walk the new roof, and the next year we return to see how it handled its first winter in the Pass.
Signs your Crowsnest Pass roof needs replacing
Shingles worn thin
High-elevation sun and months under snow wear shingles down. Granules in the eavestroughs or bare patches mean it is time for a look.
Pieces on the lawn after a wind
If a wind warning blows through and you find bits of shingle in the yard, the seal strips have let go and more will follow.
Ice dams and ceiling stains
Thick icicles along the eaves, or brown spots near a chimney or outside wall, point to meltwater getting past old flashing.
Low-slope porches and additions
Many older homes have back porches with shingles on a slope too shallow for them. A roof replacement is the time to switch those to proper membrane.
A wood shake roof in wildfire country
FireSmart Canada advises against wood shakes because they burn. If your cabin still has one, steel or asphalt shingles are the safer replacement.

Crowsnest Pass roofing questions
Don’t see your question? Call us at (403) 333-0319.
What does a roof replacement cost in Crowsnest Pass?
Size, pitch, the number of old layers, the deck’s condition and your choice of shingles or steel all count. After we see the roof, the quote breaks out each of those.
How much snow does a roof in the Pass deal with?
Coleman averages about 177 cm of snow a year, and it melts and refreezes often. That is why we check the deck and run ice and water membrane at every eave and valley.
What roof holds up best to wildfire?
FireSmart Canada recommends Class A rated roofing such as metal, asphalt shingles or tile, and advises against wood shakes. Keeping needles and debris off the roof and out of the eavestroughs helps too.
Does metal make sense for a cabin in the Pass?
Often, yes. Steel sheds snow, stands up to strong gusts and does not burn, which suits a place that sits empty for weeks.
Do you handle siding and eavestroughs too?
Yes. Fibre cement, vinyl and steel siding are all options, along with seamless eavestroughs, downspouts, soffit and fascia.
What warranty do you offer?
Our 10-Year Labour Warranty comes in writing on every roof, and select shingles carry manufacturer coverage of up to 50 years.
What areas around Crowsnest Pass do you serve?
Coleman, Blairmore, Frank, Bellevue and Hillcrest, and the cabins and acreages along Highway 3 toward Lundbreck and Pincher Creek.
