Have questions about roofing, siding, gutters, or storm damage repairs in Calgary? Our FAQ page covers everything homeowners need to know—from inspections and materials to insurance claims and warranties—answered by the experts at Cowboys Roofing & Exterior.
We’ve put together answers to the most common questions homeowners ask when working with Cowboys Roofing & Exteriors. From inspections and insurance claims to repairs and replacements, here’s everything you need to know..
Most Calgary roofs show signs like missing shingles, leaks, curling edges, granule loss, or visible damage after storms. Cowboys Roofing & Exteriors offers free roof inspections to assess whether repair or replacement is the best option for your home.
A standard asphalt shingle roof replacement usually takes 1–2 days, depending on roof size and weather conditions. Metal roofs may take slightly longer. Our team ensures quick turnaround with minimal disruption.
Most Calgary insurance policies do cover hail, wind, and storm damage, but coverage varies. Cowboys Roofing & Exteriors assists homeowners through the entire insurance claim process to maximize approval and ensure proper repairs.
Costs depend on roofing material, home size, and damage severity. Asphalt shingles are generally the most affordable, while metal roofing is a higher-end, long-lasting option. We provide free estimates and transparent pricing for every project.
We recommend annual inspections, plus an inspection after any major hailstorm or wind event. Regular inspections help prevent leaks, structural damage, and costly repairs.
Asphalt shingles are the most popular and practical roofing choice for Calgary homeowners. They offer an ideal balance of durability, cost-effectiveness, and weather resistance—making them well-suited to Calgary’s harsh climate. High-quality asphalt shingles can withstand hail, heavy snow, extreme temperature changes, and strong chinook winds. They also come in a wide range of colours and styles, including impact-resistant shingles designed specifically for hail-prone areas. Because they perform well and are affordable to repair or replace, shingles remain the top roofing solution for Calgary homes.
The most expensive part of replacing a roof is typically the labour and installation, especially if your roof has a steep pitch, multiple layers to remove, or complex architectural features. Premium roofing materials like architectural shingles or metal roofing can also increase the cost. In Calgary, weather damage and structural repairs—such as replacing rotten plywood or damaged underlayment—can add to the final price. A professional inspection will give you a clear breakdown before work begins.
The cost to replace a whole roof in Calgary depends on the size of your home, the roofing material you choose, and the extent of any existing damage. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $7,000 and $18,000 for a full asphalt shingle roof replacement. Premium materials like metal roofing are more expensive but offer longer lifespans. Cowboys Roofing & Exteriors provides free roof inspections and detailed estimates so you know exactly what to expect.
The cheapest and most cost-effective option for a new roof in Calgary is asphalt shingles. They offer excellent weather resistance, a variety of style options, and a lifespan of 20+ years when properly installed. Asphalt shingles provide the best balance of affordability, performance, and long-term value, making them the top choice for Calgary homeowners on a budget.
