A High River roofing company for older homes and newer streets
High River is a town of about 14,000 on the Highwood River, a short drive south of Okotoks. It has character homes and bungalows near downtown and along the river, newer two-storeys on the edges of town, and acreages out toward Aldersyde. The chinook winds that come off the mountains can gust hard here, and roofs, siding and eavestroughs take the brunt of it.
We have replaced roofs in and around High River, including a commercial roof downtown and homes out toward Aldersyde. Every job starts with a roof inspection and a written quote, and every finished roof gets a follow-up visit a year later.

Asphalt shingle roofing in High River
Most High River neighbourhoods were built with asphalt shingles, and after years of prairie wind and weather, a lot of those original roofs are showing their age. With Alberta’s freeze-thaw cycles, asphalt shingles usually need replacing at around 15 years, and cedar shake can last a bit longer. An inspection tells you exactly where your roof stands. A proper re-roof here means taking everything down to the wood, then building it back as one system: synthetic underlayment, ice and water membrane along the eaves and in the valleys, balanced intake and exhaust roof ventilation, new metal flashings, and shingles nailed to the high-wind pattern. See how a replacement is done.

Built for wind
Metal roofing for High River homes
When a High River roof is due for replacement, many homeowners ask whether to skip shingles this time and go to metal. A steel roof has no loose edges for a gust to catch, it sheds snow quickly, and it lasts much longer than shingles. The trade-off is a higher price today, which is why we quote both options on the same visit so you can compare. Read about metal roofing.
- Standing-seam and exposed-fastener steel
- Nothing loose for the wind to catch
- Homes, detached garages and sheds
- Priced next to shingles on one visit
Siding replacement in High River
High River siding faces the same wind and full prairie sun as the roof, and on many homes the original vinyl is now faded, brittle or cracked, usually worst on the south and west walls. Plenty of owners do the siding in the same season as the roof and eavestroughs, so colours line up and the crews work back to back. Before any new panel goes up, we wrap the walls and flash every window, door and corner. See siding options.
Fibre cement
Our top pickWon’t burn, dent as easily or move with the seasons, and the baked-on colour lasts. Available as lap, board-and-batten or shingle profiles.
Vinyl
The budget-friendly choice, easy to live with, and a fast way to give a High River two-storey a completely new look.
Metal siding
Tough steel panels for garages, feature walls and modern builds, and a natural pairing with a steel roof.
What goes into a High River re-roof
A new roof is the chance to fix what the original installation rushed. These are the four places we spend extra time on every High River roof.
01
A sound deck under everything
With the old roof off, we look over the whole deck, swap out any soft or damaged boards and nail it back down properly, so the new roof sits on something solid.
02
Ice and water protection
A waterproof membrane at the eaves and in every valley keeps melting snow and wind-blown rain out when a mild day is followed by a hard freeze.
03
Flashing around skylights & vents
Skylights, pipe boots and vents are where most leak calls start. On a new roof we replace the boots and vents and re-flash each skylight rather than reusing worn parts.
04
Nailing and ridge caps for wind
The right nail placement, sealed starter rows along the edges and well-fastened ridge caps keep the roof in one piece through prairie windstorms, and keep the shingle warranty intact.
How a High River roof replacement works
Here is how a High River roof replacement runs, from the first visit to the check-up a year on. Once materials are on site, most houses are done in one or two days.
Before any High River quote is written, we inspect the roof in person and photograph anything that needs attention. Our team includes a HAAG® certified roof inspector.
- 01
Roof inspection
We walk the roof, checking shingles, flashings, vents and ventilation, and photograph anything that needs attention so you can see it for yourself.
- 02
Your quote, in writing
Every material, the full scope and the timeline on one page, with siding or eavestroughs priced alongside if you want them done too.
- 03
A clean, careful install
The bin placed out of the way, magnetic sweeps for nails and a tidy site at the end of each day.
- 04
Final walkthrough, then a return visit
We go over the finished roof together, then come back a year later to check it once it has seen a full winter and a spring melt.
Signs a High River roof is ready for replacement
Original shingles reaching the end
Whole High River streets were built or re-roofed in the same few years, so their roofs are wearing out together. Granules in the eavestroughs, curling tabs and bare patches are signs it is worth booking an inspection.
Shingles lifting in chinook winds
Warm, gusty chinooks can lift tabs and ridge caps that have lost their seal. When it keeps happening, an inspection tells you whether it is time for a new roof fastened to the high-wind pattern.
Stains around chimneys and vents
Older High River homes often have chimneys, dormers and several roof levels. A stain near any of them usually means the flashing is worn, and a replacement is the time to re-flash every one.
Low-slope sections on older homes
Additions, porches and back rooms on older homes often have low-slope roofs that were shingled below their rated pitch. A re-roof is the time to put the right membrane on them.
Faded siding and tired eavestroughs
If the roof is due, the siding, soffit and eavestroughs on the same house usually are too. Doing them together keeps colours matched and gives water a clear path away from the foundation.

Real questions from High River & area
These came from homeowners and businesses in and around High River, including Okotoks and Nanton. We have removed names and addresses, but the questions are real.
“Our building leaks in several spots every time it rains. Can you quote a repair or a new roof?”
Yes. We start with an inspection, trace where the water is getting in and send you photos with a written scope. If the roof still has life left we price the repair; if it is near the end, we quote the replacement.
Roof inspection →“We want new siding to match the garage, a new asphalt roof, and new soffit, fascia and eavestroughs on our two-storey. Can one contractor handle the whole project?”
Yes. We put the roof, siding and eavestroughs on one quote and book the crews back to back, so the colours match and you deal with one schedule instead of three.
Siding options →“We are looking at buying a house nearby and want a quote to redo the roof before we decide.”
We inspect the roof, photograph what we find and give you a written quote, so you know what the roof will cost before you buy.
Roof inspection →“We just moved to an acreage and our large barn needs a new roof. Can you come out and quote it?”
Yes. We quote barns, shops and garages as well as homes, in shingles or metal. We measure on site and price both options side by side so you can compare.
Metal roofing →High River roofing questions
Don’t see your question? Call us at (403) 333-0319.
How much does a roof replacement cost in High River?
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, how many layers come off, the condition of the deck and the shingle or metal you choose. We inspect the roof first, then give you a line-by-line written quote you can compare with other High River roofing companies.
Roof repair or replacement: which does my High River roof need?
Our inspector decides that once they have seen your roof. We check the whole roof, show you photos and tell you honestly how much life is left. If a repair makes sense we price it; if the roof is near the end, we quote a replacement you can plan on your own timeline.
Do you replace roofs in High River?
Yes, full roof replacement is most of our High River work, on homes in town and on acreages around Aldersyde. We tear off to the deck, fix any soft decking, and install a complete system with new underlayment, ice and water protection, ventilation and flashings, finished in architectural shingles or metal.
Do you handle siding and eavestroughs too?
Yes. We replace vinyl, fibre cement and metal siding and install seamless eavestroughs, downspouts, soffit and fascia. On many High River homes all of it is the same age, so we can quote the roof, siding and eavestroughs as one project.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Once materials arrive, a typical High River house takes one to two days. Larger or steeper roofs, and jobs that add siding or eavestroughs, take longer, and we give you the schedule in writing up front.
What warranty do you offer?
Our 10-Year Labour Warranty covers every roof we install, and select shingles carry manufacturer warranties of up to 50 years. A year after the job, we come back to check the roof once it has been through a winter.
What areas around High River do you serve?
All of High River, plus Aldersyde, Okotoks, Nanton, Diamond Valley and the acreages in Foothills County.
