Your roof is your defender against the elements. In Alberta, that means icy hail, scorching heat, sudden storms... and everything in between. An aging or damaged roof puts you at risk of leaks, structural issues and sudden repairs. If it’s time to replace your roof, don’t delay!

We understand that replacing your roof is a major project that might require more planning. We can help with repairs or temporary solutions until you are ready to replace your roof.  

Yes! We only use high-quality materials, which are covered under warranty for 30–50 years. We’ll go over the full scope of work and warranty before we begin the roof replacement.

The most common material used for roofing is asphalt shingles. Rümi uses the highest quality materials and matches them to your roof complexity and layout. The final product is a roof you can depend on for decades to come.  

Materials we work with:

• Asphalt shingles. The most common sloped roofing application. Asphalt shingles typically come as laminated architectural shingles made with fibreglass and SBS.
  Older shingles used to have an organic paper felt mat that was soaked in asphalt. As the organic shingles aged, the shingles would begin to curl at the corners and edges, create loose granules and even crack. Newer materials prevent that from happening.  ‍
• Cedar shakes and shingles. A classic sloped roofing application that provides a rustic look that ages well. If your cedar shingles are splitting, cupping or becoming loose, it may be time to replace or service them.  ‍
• Concrete tiles. Concrete roof tile adds a unique look to your home and provides excellent protection against the elements. With the emergence of lightweight synthetic alternatives to concrete tile roofing, you now have even more options to get that finished tile look at an easier price point.  ‍
• Architectural shingles. Architectural shingles appeal to design-conscious consumers, yet they come in at a lower price point than shakes or tiles. The lifespan shingles in this category usually range from 30–50 years.  ‍
• Metal roofing. Metal roofs last a long time and create an excellent barrier against Alberta’s snow and ice. But when you see signs of rust, loose fasteners, leaks and breaking seals around penetrations, it’s time to replace or service your metal roof.
  Often, metal roofs can be fixed with re-ply roofing products instead of replacing the metal itself, even if parts are rusty. We also install and service copper roofing, granulated steel roofing   panels and more. ‍
• Flat roofing. Flat roofing must be able to hold snow and water for long durations of time and then drain this moisture through a positive drainage system. If it isn’t installed correctly, you roof can leak or break down prematurely. That’s why it’s essential that flat roofing is installed professionally the first time.  ‍
• Sloped roofing. We install and service all types of sloped roofing applications, such as fibreglass shingles, steel roofing panels, standing seam roofs, rubber shingles, cedar shakes and more. Regardless of the size or complexity of your project, we’re here to make sure that the job is done right from start to finish.  

A professionally installed roof will last anywhere from 25–50 years. If your roof is getting to the end of its lifecycle and in need of repairs, it’s probably time to replace the full roof. Other signs include:

• Cracked, curled or damaged shingles
• Shingles are losing a lot of shingle granules
• Leaks
• Sagging or drooping roof
• Algae or moss growth on roof
• Water damage on interior ceilings and walls
• Hail, wind or sun damage
• Ice damming
• Poor quality roofing material or installation

A roof replacement generally takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. The time it takes depends on the size and complexity of the roof, materials used and the weather. We’ll make sure you understand the full timeline before any work starts.

A roof replacement involves removing the old roofing material, repairing or replacing any damaged decking, installing underlayment and new roofing material, and finishing with new flashing and ridge caps. Our pros follow the highest possible safety standards on all jobs.

Unless you have roofing experience, we don’t recommend trying to replace your roof as a DIY. Your roof is one of the greatest home investments you’ll make. It’s important to get it done right. An incorrectly installed roof can be a safety hazard and a financial liability.  

Experienced, professional roofers have the know-how to install a new roof safely and efficiently. This is one home improvement project not to take chances on.  

Many roof leaks can be repaired. It’s important to catch leaks early and fix them quickly to avoid further damage. If you are experiencing frequent leaks, it’s probably time to replace your roof entirely.

A new installation can take days or weeks to complete, depending on the complexity of the project. While you don’t have to leave your home during this time, you might want to. Roofing is noisy and our pros will work all day long. If you plan on being home all day and find construction noises bothersome, you might want to find an out-of-home activity for the day.

The damage and specifics of your policy will determine whether or not your homeowners' insurance will pay for the cost of a new roof. In some cases, insurance will cover the cost, but check with your insurance company.

If you're covered, we're an insurance preferred contractor, so we're happy to work directly with your insurance company to make your claim as simple as possible.
