Roof repair in Calgary starts with finding exactly where water is getting in. Straight Path Roofing & Construction repairs roof leaks, missing and lifted shingles, failed flashing and wind or hail damage on Calgary homes, fixing the damaged area instead of replacing a roof that still has years left. As a licensed and insured GAF Certified Plus roofing contractor, we trace the leak source first so the repair holds through the next chinook, hailstorm or spring melt.
Most roof problems we see in Calgary come from wind, hail, ice and age. A careful inspection tells us whether a leak or damaged section is an isolated failure we can repair, or a sign the whole roof is wearing out.
A leaking roof rarely leaks where the stain shows up. Water can run along the decking and rafters before it drips into a ceiling, so we trace the actual entry point at flashing transitions, valleys, vents, nail heads and damaged shingles before repairing anything. If the inspection shows the whole roof is failing, we will tell you whether a full roof replacement is the better option.
Calgary wind gusts and chinooks lift, crease and tear off asphalt shingles by breaking the seal strip that holds them down. When the damage is limited to a few sections, we replace missing shingles, reseal lifted tabs and re-nail loose courses. Newer roofs can usually be matched closely. On older roofs with discontinued colours, we show you any expected difference before work begins.
Step flashing, counter flashing and vent boots around chimneys, skylights, plumbing stacks and roof vents are the most common source of small leaks. Metal shifts and corrodes, sealant dries out and rubber boots crack over time. We repair or replace the flashing and reseal the penetration so water is directed off the roof again, without replacing the surrounding roof.
Hail bruises and cracks shingles and knocks off their protective granules, while wind tears out individual pieces. Booking a repair soon after a storm keeps water from soaking into the underlayment and decking, and our inspection notes help if you are filing an insurance claim.
Our roof repair services fix the failed area while keeping the rest of your roofing system in place wherever it is still sound.
When water is coming into the house, we tarp or temporarily seal the area to stop interior damage, then return to make the permanent repair once the leak source is confirmed and the weather allows.
After wind or hail, we inspect the whole roof, replace damaged shingles, ridge caps and vents, and repair torn underlayment where the damage is limited enough that repair is the right call.
We replace cracked, curled or missing shingles and reseal lifted tabs on asphalt shingle roofing, and patch or reseal seams on rubber roofing over low-slope areas like porches and dormers.
We remove corroded or loose flashing, replace cracked vent boots, and reseal chimneys, skylights and wall transitions so water is directed off the roof and the same spot stops leaking.
Repair is the right choice when the damage is contained and the roof underneath is still sound, such as a few missing shingles after a windstorm, one failed flashing or an isolated leak on a roof with years of life left. In those cases a repair restores protection without disturbing the rest of the system.
Full roof replacement becomes the better option when shingles are curling and shedding granules across the whole roof, when the decking has gone soft from long-term moisture, when the same area keeps leaking after earlier repairs, or when the roof is near the end of its expected life. Straight Path Roofing & Construction confirms which applies during the inspection, so the recommendation reflects the condition of the roof and not just the size of the visible damage.
Accurate diagnosis is the difference between a durable repair and a temporary patch. Straight Path Roofing & Construction has been repairing and replacing roofs in Calgary since 2019, including inspections and repairs for homes hit by the June 2020 hailstorm. We are licensed and insured, and as a GAF Certified Plus roofing contractor we hold a repair to the same material and installation standards as a new roof.
This page covers residential roof repair. For flat and low-slope roofs on businesses and multi-unit buildings, our commercial roof repair service handles those systems.
Regular inspections and quick repairs extend the life of your roof. Here are answers to the questions Calgary homeowners ask most about roof leak repair and shingle repair.
Yes, in most cases. If the leak comes from a localized problem like a failed flashing, a cracked vent boot or a few missing shingles, we repair that area and leave the rest of the roof in place. Replacement is only recommended when the damage is widespread or the decking underneath has been compromised.
As soon as you can. Missing or cracked shingles let water reach the underlayment and decking with the next rain or snowmelt, and small damage spreads quickly once moisture gets in. Booking soon after the storm also keeps the timeline clear if you are making an insurance claim.
Watch for water stains on ceilings, drips in the attic, missing or curled shingles, granules collecting in your eavestroughs, and loose or rusted flashing around chimneys and vents. Any of these after a windstorm or hailstorm is worth an inspection.
If the damage is localized and the roof still has years of life left, a repair is usually enough. If shingles are failing across the whole roof, the decking is damaged or leaks keep coming back, replacement is often the better investment. We explain which applies after inspecting it.
We recommend a professional inspection once a year and after major hail or windstorms, so small issues like lifted shingles or cracked vent boots are fixed before they turn into leaks.
We match the existing product line, colour and profile as closely as possible. Exact matching depends on the age of the roof, because sun and weather shift shingle colour over time and some lines are discontinued. Any expected difference is shown to you before work begins.
We trace the leak during the inspection instead of assuming it is above the stain, because water often travels along the decking and framing before it shows up indoors. Flashing, vent boots, valleys and fastener points are checked so the repair fixes the actual entry point.
A repair becomes a short-term measure when the surrounding shingles are already failing, when the same area has been patched more than once, or when the roof is near the end of its service life. In those cases a repair buys time without restoring the system, and we tell you that during the inspection.
If you have a roof leak, missing shingles or storm damage, an early inspection can stop a small problem from becoming a bigger repair. Request a free roof repair estimate and we will tell you whether a targeted repair will restore protection, or if there is more going on with the roof.
