Frequently asked questions about roofing in Calgary

Meerkat Roofing & Exteriors' website includes a FAQ section that addresses topics such as:

• How to tell if a roof needs repair or replacement: missing, curled, or cracked shingles, recurring leaks, sagging areas, or significant granule loss, as well as storm damage and age.
• How long asphalt shingles last in Alberta: approximately 20 to 30 years, depending on materials, installation, ventilation, and maintenance.
• Best time of year to replace a roof in Calgary: spring, summer, and fall usually offer more stable conditions, although it is also possible in winter if conditions are suitable.
• What to do after hail damage: check from the ground, take photos, note the date of the storm, and contact the insurer; a professional inspection can identify hidden damage.
• Checking eavestroughs, vents, and flashing during a replacement: yes, because the roof is a complete system and worn components should be replaced at the same time.
• Detecting hidden storm damage: a professional inspection can find bruised shingles, lifted materials, damaged flashing, exposed membrane, and loose vents.
• Timeframe for repairing missing shingles: as soon as possible, to prevent moisture, wind, and UV rays from damaging the system.
• What to expect during a roof replacement: detailed inspection and estimate, scheduling and material selection, removal of the existing roof, inspection of the deck, professional installation, debris cleanup, and final review.
