Expert Roof Replacement and Installation
If your Edmonton roof is over 20 years old, leaking, missing shingles, losing granules, or showing signs of hail or wind damage, a complete roof replacement may be the safest and most cost-effective long-term solution. Edmonton roofs face significant temperature swings throughout the year, along with high winds, heavy winter snow loads, and active summer hail seasons. When wear and damage add up, a quality replacement gives your home the fresh, reliable protection it deserves.
At Dwight’s Roofing, we provide professional roof replacement, installation, repair, and maintenance services for homeowners in Edmonton and the surrounding communities. Every project is built around quality workmanship, premium materials, and roofing solutions suited to Alberta’s demanding climate.
Why Roof Replacement Matters for Edmonton Homes
A new roof is one of the most valuable investments you can make in your home. Beyond stopping leaks, it protects against moisture buildup, structural damage, and the kind of small problems that quietly become expensive ones when left unaddressed. Here is what you can expect from a quality roof replacement from Dwight’s Roofing.
Better Weather Protection
Edmonton roofing must handle freeze-thaw cycles, hail, high winds, and heavy snow year after year. Quality roofing materials need to stay flexible in cold winters and resist intense summer UV. Proper installation includes self-adhering, waterproof underlayments along eaves and valleys to guard against ice damming, one of the most common causes of roof damage in our region.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Modern roofing materials can significantly improve your home’s energy performance. During a re-roofing project, it is also an ideal time to evaluate your attic ventilation and insulation. The City of Edmonton building guidelines recommend attic insulation to a minimum thermal value of R-50. Poor insulation and unbalanced attic ventilation can lead to condensation, ice dams, and premature roof failure, so addressing these at the same time as your roof replacement makes good sense.
Increased Home Value
A complete roof replacement improves curb appeal, supports resale value, and gives homeowners confidence that their home is protected. It also gives our team the opportunity to correct hidden issues with decking, flashing, eavestroughs, ventilation, and other components that may have gone unnoticed under the old roof.
Warranty Protection
The warranty coverage on your new roof comes from two places, and both are worth understanding. Dwight’s Roofing stands behind its workmanship with a standard five-year workmanship warranty. As a certified installer for IKO, Malarkey, and BP, we can also offer extended manufacturer shingle warranty programs with better coverage than a standard shingle purchase typically includes. We walk you through everything at the end of every project and review the maintenance steps needed to keep your warranty valid. For full details on available warranty programs, contact our team directly.

Our Residential Roof Replacement Services and Materials
We provide re-roofing and roof replacement services for single-family homes, townhouses, duplexes, and multi-family properties throughout the Edmonton area. Whether you need a new roof after storm damage or your existing roof has reached the end of its life, our team will assess your situation and recommend the right solution for your home and budget. We provide a clear estimate before any work begins, so you understand the scope, materials, and expected timeline upfront. Choosing the right roofing material is one of the most important parts of that decision, and we are here to help you make it with confidence. Here is an overview of the options we offer.
Architectural Asphalt Shingles
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing material with Edmonton homeowners, and it is easy to see why. They offer a classic, textured appearance, strong resistance to extreme weather, and a long lifespan, making them a practical and cost-effective choice for most homes. Available in a wide range of colours and styles, they can even replicate the look of premium materials like cedar at a more accessible price point.
Asphalt Shingles
Traditional 3-tab asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material used in Edmonton, and for good reason. They are reliable, cost-effective, easy to repair, and available in a wide range of styles and colours. From starter homes to larger executive properties, asphalt shingles have stood the test of time as a practical, affordable solution for Edmonton homeowners.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is built for durability, energy efficiency, and low maintenance. Dwight’s Roofing offers several metal roofing systems, including Snap-Lok, Mechanical Seam, and DECRA Stone-Coated Steel, each engineered to handle Alberta’s heavy snow, hail, high winds, and temperature extremes. Metal roofs are compatible with solar panel systems, backed by a limited lifetime warranty, and made from up to 95% recycled material, making them a smart long-term investment.
Cedar Shingles
Cedar shingles and shakes add natural beauty, character, and genuine insulating properties to any home. Cedar is naturally resistant to moisture, insects, and rot, and can outlast some asphalt options by 10 years or more. Because cedar roofing requires careful installation and regular maintenance to perform well in Edmonton’s climate, it is best handled by a team with real, hands-on experience in the material. Cedar has been a specialty at Dwight’s Roofing for over 30 years.
Composite Roofing
Composite roofing is made from a blend of recycled plastics, polymers, and inorganic minerals, and can replicate the look of slate, cedar shake, or clay tile with modern durability. It resists mould, mildew, and insect damage, requires minimal maintenance, and is engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions. Many composite roofing products come with warranties of up to 50 years, making them a strong long-term option for Edmonton homeowners who want a refined look without the upkeep of natural materials.
Rubber Roofing
Rubber roofing is an innovative, eco-friendly option made from up to 95% recycled materials. Dwight’s Roofing installs Euroshield rubber shingles in shake and slate profiles for residential homes in Edmonton. These systems are engineered to withstand hail, heavy snow, high winds, and extreme temperature swings, and can last up to 50 years with minimal maintenance. Most systems include a 50-year limited warranty, giving homeowners long-term peace of mind and confidence that their roof is built to last.
Our Roof Replacement Process
Step 1: Comprehensive Roof Inspection
Every project starts with a detailed inspection. We assess shingles, flashing, valleys, decking, eavestroughs, attic ventilation, drainage, and any existing leak concerns. We look for curling or discoloured shingles, missing shingles, significant granule loss, visible hail or wind damage, and signs of moisture or insulation problems. This gives us a complete picture before making any recommendations.
Step 2: Material Selection and Project Planning
We help you choose materials suited to Edmonton’s roofing conditions, your home’s design, and your budget. We also review any relevant building requirements. In Edmonton, a building permit is not required for re-roofing with similar materials that do not alter the structure. Structural modifications, such as changing the roofline or switching to significantly heavier materials, do require a Home Improvement Permit. You receive transparent pricing and a practical schedule before work begins.
The best time to replace a roof in Edmonton is between May and September, as standard asphalt shingles require temperatures above 4°C for proper bonding. Winter installations are possible in urgent situations, but cold-weather installations carry added risk and require careful planning.
Step 3: Professional Installation
Our installation process includes careful tear-off, deck preparation, underlayment, flashing, ventilation review, and full roof installation. Old shingles are stripped to the bare wooden deck, and any rotting plywood is replaced to ensure a stable foundation. A self-sealing ice and water barrier membrane is applied along eave edges, extending at least three feet past the interior wall line to protect against ice damming. Our team maintains a clean job site, communicates clearly throughout the project, and completes every installation with the quality workmanship Dwight’s Roofing has been known for over 30 years.
Step 4: Final Inspection and Warranty
After installation, we complete a thorough quality check and provide full warranty documentation. We explain what your warranty covers, including materials and workmanship, and review the maintenance steps needed to keep it valid. Regular seasonal inspections, keeping attic vents clear, and promptly addressing small issues are the best ways to protect your investment for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof replacement take in Edmonton?
Most residential roof replacements take two to four days, depending on the size of the home, roof pitch, materials chosen, and weather conditions. Larger homes, steep rooflines, ventilation upgrades, and other custom features can add time to the project. We plan each job carefully so that work is completed efficiently without cutting corners on quality.
What time of year is best for roof replacement in Edmonton?
Late spring through mid-summer offers the best conditions for roof replacement in Edmonton. Standard asphalt shingles require temperatures above 4°C for proper bonding, and early fall can get busy quickly, so booking ahead is always a good idea. That said, emergency roof repairs and replacements are available year-round when needed. Signing a contract in late fall is also a practical way to lock in pricing and secure your spot for the following spring.
Do you support insurance claims for roof replacements?
Yes. We assist homeowners with insurance claims by providing inspection findings, photos, damage documentation, and clear cost estimates. This is especially useful when dealing with missing shingles, significant granule loss, or visible hail and wind damage. We work with homeowners across Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, and the surrounding communities to ensure storm damage is properly documented and your claim is as straightforward as possible.
