Foothills County roofing for acreages, shops and barns
Foothills County covers about 3,600 square kilometres south and southwest of Calgary, and most of its 23,199 residents (2021 census) live on acreages and in hamlets rather than in a town. That takes in the treed hills around Priddis and Millarville, country residential land near De Winton, Heritage Pointe, and farmland out toward Aldersyde and Blackie.
A typical property here has more than one roof: the house, plus a detached garage, shop or barn. Chinook winds coming off the mountains test all of them, and in the forested west end, wildfire is part of the picture too.
What we do across Foothills County
Most of our county work is on acreage homes, two-storeys and bungalows, with detached garages, shops and farm buildings often added to the same job.
Our specialty
Roof Replacement
Everything removed down to the boards, then rebuilt with new underlayment, flashing and venting under shingles or metal.
Exteriors
Siding Replacement
Fibre cement, vinyl or steel cladding for the house, matched across the garage, shop or barn.
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 roofs in Foothills County
Asphalt shingles are a common choice on county homes, and many sit on large roofs with several hips and valleys. On roofs like that, the work is in the details: valleys lined properly, every transition flashed, and each shingle fastened to stand up to chinook gusts. See how a replacement is done.
Malarkey Emerald Pro™ certified contractor
Emerald Pro is Malarkey’s highest contractor level. When we install the full Malarkey system, an eligible roof can qualify for stronger manufacturer coverage.
Architectural shingles
Most popularThe standard pick for a new roof: thick, dimensional shingles that look right on big, broken-up rooflines.
Impact-rated shingles
Class 4 impact-rated shingles for owners who want a tougher surface against hail.
Designer shingles
Slate- or shake-look profiles for larger custom homes, and a good match when an old cedar shake roof comes off.
Built for wind
Metal roofs for Foothills County properties
On an acreage, metal often makes sense for the shop and barn, and it can suit the house as well. Steel has no tabs for a chinook to peel back, sheds snow quickly, does not burn, and typically lasts much longer than asphalt, at a higher upfront cost. We price metal alongside shingles for every roof we look at in the county, so both numbers are in front of you when you choose. Read about metal roofing.
Foothills County siding for homes and outbuildings
Country homes often have tall gable walls, and owners like the shop and garage to match the house, so siding is usually planned for the whole yard. When the roof and eavestroughs are being replaced in the same season, we match colours across all three and run the crews back to back. Walls get a new weather barrier and every opening is flashed before cladding goes on. See siding options.
Fibre cement
Our top pickNon-combustible, steady through big temperature swings, and finished with baked-on colour. Choose lap, board-and-batten or shingle profiles.
Vinyl
An affordable way to update a house, with a wide colour range.
Metal siding
Steel panels for shops, barns and garages, and the natural partner to a metal roof.
Building a Foothills County roof that lasts
A large country roof has more edges, valleys and openings than a typical city house. Here is where we put the extra care.
01
Sheathing checked sheet by sheet
After tear-off we check every sheet of sheathing and replace any that is soft, delaminated or water-stained before anything new goes down.
02
Membrane for chinook melt
A chinook can melt snow in an afternoon that refreezes overnight, so eaves and valleys get a self-sealing membrane underneath.
03
Openings flashed new
Skylights, chimneys and vent stacks get new flashing and boots; old pieces are never put back.
04
Fastened for chinook gusts
Shingles go on in the manufacturer’s high-wind nailing pattern, with sealed starters and secured ridge caps, since chinook gusts test them every winter.
How Foothills County projects run
Acreage projects usually run two to four days once materials are delivered, longer when a shop or barn is included.
It begins with a visit to your property, where we look at each building and photograph the problem spots.
- 01
Detailed inspection
We check the roof, flashings, vents and any outbuildings you want looked at, and photograph each issue.
- 02
A quote you can compare
The written quote lists materials, scope and dates, with siding and eavestroughs priced on separate lines if needed.
- 03
Tidy site, nails swept
We agree on a bin spot that protects the yard, and magnetic sweeps clear nails at the end of each day.
- 04
Walkthrough plus one-year check
After a joint walkthrough of the finished roof, we come back about a year later to look at it again.
What wears out roofs in Foothills County
Big roofs near the end of their life
Many acreage houses have large roofs with lots of hips and valleys. Loose granules, curled shingle edges and worn valleys mean it is time to plan the next one.
Chinook damage
Strong, warm winds off the Rockies can peel back shingles and loosen ridge caps. Shingles that lift again and again have lost their seal.
Trees crowding the roof
In the treed country around Priddis and Millarville, branches over the roof fill valleys and eavestroughs with needles. Foothills Fire inspectors have flagged trees against eavestroughs as a wildfire concern, so trimming them back helps the roof and the house.
Ageing cedar shakes
Shake roofs dry out, split and hold moss as they age, and they burn. We can price metal or shake-look shingles to replace them.
Several buildings due at once
House, garage and shop were often roofed in different years. We look at all of them in one visit and price them together.
Our promise to Foothills County homeowners
10 / 50
Warranty in writing
Our 10-Year Labour Warranty comes in writing, and select shingles bring up to 50 years of coverage from the manufacturer.
WCB

A visit one year later

Foothills County roofing FAQ
Don’t see your question? Call us at (403) 333-0319.
How is a roof replacement priced in Foothills County?
Roof area, pitch, roofline complexity, deck condition and the material drive the price. Shops or garages get their own line on the quote.
How do I know my roof is due for replacement?
Roofs past about 15 years, or ones with curling, heavy granule loss, leaks or hail damage, are usually due. We back our advice with photos from the roof and tell you honestly if yours can wait.
Is metal a good choice for an acreage near Priddis or Millarville?
Often, yes. Steel is non-combustible, sheds snow and handles chinook winds well, and it suits shops and barns too. It does cost more than shingles at the start.
Do you roof shops, barns and detached garages?
Yes. Outbuildings can be done on their own or along with the house, in shingles or steel.
How long does an acreage roof take?
Plan on two to four days for most acreage houses once materials are on site. Extra buildings add time, and we share the schedule before starting.
What does your warranty cover?
Our written 10-Year Labour Warranty covers every roof we install, select shingle lines carry up to 50 years from the manufacturer, and we come back for a check about a year after the job.
Where in Foothills County do you work?
Priddis, Millarville, De Winton, Heritage Pointe, Aldersyde, and acreages near Okotoks and High River.
