Asphalt shingles
Asphalt shingles are familiar, broadly available and offered in many profiles. Product selection, underlayment, flashing and ventilation remain important to the installed system.
Material comparison
Asphalt vs. metal roofing: which is right for you?
The right roof depends on the home, roof geometry, budget, appearance goals and installation details—not one universal winner.
Metal roofing
Metal systems offer a distinct appearance and different detailing around seams, fasteners, snow movement and transitions. The roof design must suit the selected system.
Calgary weather considerations
Wind, hail, snow and rapid temperature shifts make product specifications and installation details important for both materials.
Questions to compare
Ask about the existing deck, slope, penetrations, ventilation, drainage, expected maintenance, product documentation and the complete installed scope.
