Hiring the right commercial roofing contractor in Calgary isn’t just about finding the cheapest quote — it’s about protecting your building, your business operations, and your bottom line. With Calgary’s extreme weather swings, from heavy snowfall to hailstorms, your commercial roof must be installed and maintained by professionals who understand the local climate and codes.
At CMProofing, we’ve worked with hundreds of commercial clients across Calgary. Here’s what you should look for when choosing a roofing company for your business:
1. Experience with Commercial Roof Systems
Not all roofers are the same. Commercial roofing requires specialized knowledge of:
- Flat roofing systems (TPO, EPDM, SBS)
- Drainage design and installation
- Insulation and vapor barrier integration
- Large-scale project coordination
Ask your contractor if they have experience with similar-sized buildings and roofing types.
2. Local Reputation and Reviews
Check Google reviews, ask for referrals, and visit local job sites if possible. A trustworthy Calgary commercial roofer will have:
- Positive reviews from verified businesses
- A strong presence in the community
- References from past commercial projects
Beware of companies with no local history or inconsistent feedback.
3. Proper Licensing, Insurance, and Certifications
Always confirm that your roofer:
- Holds an Alberta roofing license
- Carries full liability insurance and WCB coverage
- Is certified by roofing system manufacturers (for warranties)
This protects your property in case of accidents, improper work, or warranty disputes.
4. Detailed, Transparent Estimates
A reliable contractor should provide a clear scope of work, including:
- Type of roofing system being used
- Removal or overlay details
- Timeline and payment terms
- Warranty coverage
Avoid vague quotes that lack material specs or labor breakdowns.
5. Emergency Response and Long-Term Support
Choose a contractor who can respond quickly to emergency leaks or damage — especially during storm season. Ask if they offer:
- Emergency repair services
- Maintenance plans
- Annual inspections
This ensures your roof stays in top shape long after the project is done.
6. Strong Manufacturer and Labor Warranties
Warranties show that a contractor stands by their work. Look for:
- Manufacturer-backed material warranties (10–30 years)
- Workmanship warranties (minimum 2–5 years)
Ask them to explain what’s covered and what’s not.
