An Okotoks roofing company for growing neighbourhoods
You have probably noticed it on your street. Okotoks grew fast, and neighbourhoods like Westmount, Crystal Shores, Cimarron and Drake Landing went up in the same few waves, so your roof is likely the same age as your neighbours’. Often it is still the original shingles, and they are starting to lift, curl and lose granules.
You get an honest roof inspection from a HAAG® certified inspector, a written quote you can compare line by line, and a follow-up visit a year later to check that everything held up through its first chinook winter. We are a short drive down Highway 2, so scheduling is easy.

Asphalt shingles
Asphalt shingle roofing in Okotoks
Asphalt shingles are on most Okotoks roofs, and many are still the originals. Homeowners often ask us whether it is time to replace them. 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. When we re-roof, we strip to the deck and install a complete system: underlayment, ice and water protection at the eaves and valleys, balanced ventilation and new flashings. How our roof replacements work.
Malarkey Emerald Pro™ certified contractor
Emerald Pro is the top level of the Malarkey contractor program. Our crews are trained on the full Malarkey roof system, so qualifying Okotoks roofs can carry enhanced manufacturer warranties.
Architectural shingles
Most popularThe most popular re-roof in Okotoks subdivisions: a thicker, dimensional shingle that suits two-storey homes and bungalows alike.
Impact-rated shingles
A tougher shingle that resists bruising and cracking. A common upgrade for homeowners who plan to stay for years.
Designer shingles
Slate- and shake-look profiles for custom and estate homes, including Heritage Pointe and acreages outside town.
Rubber shingles & shakes
Impact-resistantMade from recycled rubber, with the look of cedar shake or slate. One of the most impact-resistant roofs you can put on an Okotoks home, and it will not crack, split or go brittle in the cold.
Okotoks roofs we install carry our 10-Year Labour Warranty, and select shingles qualify for manufacturer warranties of up to 50 years.
Long-term upgrade
Metal roofing
Metal roofing in Okotoks
When an Okotoks roof comes up for replacement, some homeowners ask whether to go back to shingles or move to metal. Steel panels shed snow instead of holding it, stand up well to strong wind and do not lose granules as they age. It costs more up front, so we lay out both options side by side and let you decide. More about metal roofing.

- Garages, sheds and accent roofs
- Sheds snow instead of holding it
- Quoted side by side with shingles
Siding
Siding replacement in Okotoks
Good siding lasts a long time, so most Okotoks homeowners call a siding contractor for a reason: hail or wind damage, faded south and west walls, or wanting the house to match a new roof. Whichever material you pick, we install it over new house wrap with proper flashing at every window, door and corner. Compare our siding options.
Fibre cement
Our top pickNon-combustible and dimensionally stable, so it holds up to hail and wind and holds its factory colour for years. Available in lap, board-and-batten and shingle styles.
Vinyl
Lower cost and low maintenance, and the easiest way to refresh a whole house in a new colour.
Metal siding
Tough steel siding for garages, accent walls and modern builds, and a clean match for a metal roof.
How we build it
Three details behind every Okotoks re-roof
Most Okotoks roofs that fail early do so at the parts nobody sees from the street. When we replace an original roof, these are the three places we spend the extra time.
01
Every sheet of decking checked
After tear-off we walk the whole deck, replace any soft or delaminated sheathing and re-nail it to code, so the new roof is not sitting on old problems.
02
Underlayment over the whole deck
New synthetic underlayment goes down over the entire deck before the shingles, not just along the edges, so your home has a second layer of protection under the roof.
03
New vents, boots & flashing
Pipe boots, roof vents and chimney flashing are where most Okotoks leak calls start. We replace them all on a re-roof rather than reusing the old ones.
How it works
How an Okotoks roof replacement works
Four steps from the first inspection to the follow-up visit a year later. Most Okotoks re-roofs take one to two days on site once the materials arrive.
Every Okotoks quote comes after an in-person look at your roof. Our team includes a HAAG® and IICRC® certified inspector.
- 01
Roof inspection
We look at the shingles, flashings, vents and roof ventilation, and photograph anything that needs attention so you can see it too.
- 02
A written quote
Materials, scope and timeline laid out line by line, with roofing, siding and eavestrough work quoted together if you are planning more than one.
- 03
Installation, done carefully
Bins placed so neighbours are not blocked in, magnetic nail sweeps of the lawn and driveway, and a tidy site every day.
- 04
Walkthrough & one-year visit
We walk the finished roof with you, then come back the next year to check that everything is still sealed and sitting tight.
Local knowledge
Roof problems we see most in Okotoks
Ice dams after a chinook
A warm spell melts the snow, a cold night refreezes it at the eaves, and the ice backs water up under the shingles. Ice and water membrane, good roof ventilation and working eavestroughs are what stop it.
Original shingles reaching the end
Many Okotoks homes were built in waves, so whole streets have roofs of the same age. Curling tabs, bald patches and granules in the downspouts are signs it is time for an inspector to take a look.
Leaks around vents and chimneys
Rubber pipe boots crack in the sun and old flashing lifts, so a small drip can build for years before it shows on a ceiling. An inspection finds where the water is getting in.
Wind-lifted shingles and ridge caps
Strong westerly gusts lift the edges and ridges first. Once the seal is broken, the next storm can tear them off, so it is worth having them looked at early.
Faded and loose siding
South and west walls take the most sun and wind. Vinyl fades, cracks and pops loose, which is why so many owners here replace siding along with the roof.
Low-slope garage and porch roofs
Flat and low-slope sections over garages, porches and additions are prone to ponding and seam leaks. They need the right membrane, not shingles stretched below their rated pitch.

Real questions from Okotoks homeowners
These came to us from homeowners in Okotoks. Names and addresses are left out, but the questions and our answers are real.
“Our house needs siding, a new roof, soffit, fascia and eavestroughs. Can one company handle all of it?”
Yes. We quote roofing, siding and eavestroughs together and schedule them so the crews follow each other, which keeps colours matched and the job to one timeline.
Siding options →“Our shingles are about 20 years old. Should we replace them with shingles again or switch to metal?”
Both are good choices here. We price them side by side: shingles cost less today, metal costs more but sheds snow and lasts longer. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs on site.
Roof replacement →“We just moved in and have no idea how old the roof is. Where do we start?”
Start with an inspection. We check the shingles, flashings and vents, estimate the remaining life and give you photos, so you know how much life the roof has left and when to budget for a replacement.
Roof inspection →How much does a roof replacement cost in Okotoks?
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, how many layers come off, the condition of the deck and the material you choose. Most Okotoks homes are quoted after a roof inspection, and every quote is written line by line so you can compare it fairly.
Are you a roofing company that works in Okotoks regularly?
Yes. Okotoks is one of the towns we serve most south of Calgary. We quote and replace roofs, siding and eavestroughs across Okotoks, Heritage Pointe, De Winton and the surrounding Foothills County acreages.
Roof repair or replacement: which does my Okotoks roof need?
Our inspector decides that once they have seen your roof. We look at the shingles, flashings and vents, show you photos of what we find and tell you straight how much life the roof has left.
Can you replace my roof and siding at the same time?
Yes. Many Okotoks homeowners do the roof, siding, soffit, fascia and eavestroughs together. We quote it as one project and schedule the crews back to back so the exterior is finished on one timeline.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most Okotoks homes take one to two days on site once materials are delivered. Larger or steeper roofs, or projects that include siding and eavestroughs, take longer, and we give you the schedule in writing before we start.
What warranty do you offer?
Every roof we install carries our 10-Year Labour Warranty, and select shingles come with manufacturer warranties of up to 50 years. We also come back a year later to check the roof after its first winter.
What areas around Okotoks do you serve?
Okotoks and all its neighbourhoods, plus Heritage Pointe, De Winton, Foothills County acreages, High River, Diamond Valley and south Calgary.
