Residential Roof Replacement. Built to Last Decades, Not Seasons.
A lasting roof takes more than new shingles. Advanced Level Roofing addresses the attic, insulation, ventilation, air leakage and water-management systems that drive ice dams, attic rain, high winter heating bills and recurring roof problems — right where the symptoms start, inside the attic.
No hidden fees. No sales pressure. Just honest, expert advice,
An aging roof isn’t just a nuisance - it’s a risk to your entire home.
Most homeowners wait until there's a visible leak before acting. By that point, water has already been working through the system for months — quietly rotting decking, saturating insulation, and creating the conditions for toxic mold. In western Canada's climate, the cost of waiting compounds fast.
Roof leaks & interior water damage
Brown ceiling stains,damaged drywall, and mold growth are the downstream cost of a failing system.
Structural wood rot & decking failure
Once moisture reaches the sheathing, the repair becomes far more extensive than a surface replacement.
Ice dams & eavestrough collapse
A compromised roof system combined with poor attic ventilation creates recurring ice buildup every winter.
Poor energy efficiency & rising heating bills
Heat escaping through a failing roofline drives up costs year-round.
Voided manufacturer warranties
Hail damage, improper installation, or deferred maintenance can void coverage you’re counting on.
Reduced property value
Buyers and appraisers assess roof condition. A failed roof is a visible liability at the time of sale.
The climate in Calgary is uniquely punishing.
Chinook winds drive sudden thermal shock that fatigues adhesives and expands micro cracks. Alberta's 40+ freeze-thaw cycles per winter force water into every gap. And when a hailstorm hits — and it will — a compromised roof pays the price first. Proactive replacement is not an expense. It's protection.
The Advanced Level Roofing replacement process
We don't just swap old shingles for new ones. Every replacement begins with a complete tear-off and a thorough inspection of what's underneath — because a roof is only as strong as the system beneath it. Here's what that looks like from first call to final walkthrough.
01 | Full tear-off & deck inspection
Every single layer comes off — no roof-overs, no exceptions. We inspect the decking board by board and identify any rot, soft spots, or compromised fastener zones. Where we find deteriorated wood, we recommend replacement; deck repair is quoted separately and is not included unless specified in your estimate.
02 | System component installation
Ice-and-water shield at all eaves and valleys. Synthetic underlayment across the full deck. New drip edge and flashing at every penetration. Each layer is installed to IKO specification and local building code before premium shingles are applied.
03 | Site protection & cleanup
Tarps protect your landscaping and driveway throughout the job. We use dump trailers — not on-site bins — to contain debris immediately. A full industrial magnetic sweep of your entire yard captures stray nails and metal fragments after every crew.
04 | Dedicated project manager & final inspection
A single project representative manages your job from quote to completion, coordinating every crew and communicating daily. Before closeout, every project receives a final quality inspection, and you receive a written final inspection report along with your warranty documentation.
What’s included on every roof replacement
When you compare quotes, compare line items. A lower number often means missing components — skipped underlayment, reused flashing, no ice-and-water shield. Here’s what Advanced Level Roofing delivers as standard on every single replacement project.

The IKO Advantage
Made locally in Calgary
IKO operates a manufacturing plant right here in Calgary. Thatmeans IKO shingles are engineered and tested for our climate —
not shipped from across a border and assumed to work. Local supply chain. Local knowledge. Local performance.
Class 4 impact resistance
The IKO Nordic carries a Class 4 impact rating — the highest possible against hail. In Calgary’s Hailstorm Alley, this isn’t a premium. It’s a necessity. Many insurers offer premium discounts for Class 4 installations. Research shows impact-resistant roofing pays for itself up to 8× over in high-risk hail zones.
AmourZone Wind Technology
IKO Performance shingles feature a reinforced 1¼-inch nailing zone that resists nail pull-through in winds up to 210 km/h. On the flat Prairie topography where wind uplift is a year-round threat, this engineering decision is what keeps shingles on the roof when others blow off.

Yannick Rouette , Calgary
Advanced Level Roofing replaced the roof on my house in April 2025. The previous roof was damaged by hail and I paid for Class 4 hail-resistant shingles. They delivered the shingles on a Thursday and came for the removal and installation on Saturday. They did all the work in a single day, from 8 am to 4:30 pm. The employees were nice and careful. They cleaned everything around the house and passed their rolling magnet over my yard ten times to remove all nails. They sent me a photo inspection of the roof. I would recommend this company. Their prices are great.
Jessica Cross , Calgary
Advanced Level Roofing took care of a major hail claim for us. Their team was extremely professional and responsive. We were able to get the repairs completed in less time than we hoped. Overall a great experience.
Marie Woodward , Brooks
In November 2025, we had lots of damage to our mobile home from the hail storm that came through Brooks. Our insurance company recommended Advanced Level Roofing, which we went with. They replaced our roof, siding, and eavestroughs. We are very happy with the work they did on our place and would highly recommend them.
