About Edmonton Roofing Experts

Our Mission

Finding a reliable roofer in Edmonton can be overwhelming. With dozens of companies advertising online and door-to-door salespeople appearing after every hail storm, homeowners struggle to separate legitimate professionals from fly-by-night operators. We created Edmonton Roofing Experts to provide clear, honest information that helps homeowners make confident decisions about one of their home's most critical components.

Our goal is simple: help Edmonton homeowners understand roofing costs, know what to expect from professional services, and connect with roofers who will deliver quality work at fair prices.

What We Provide

• Honest pricing information: Real cost ranges based on the Edmonton market, not inflated estimates or lowball bait-and-switch quotes
• Educational content: Clear explanations of roofing services, materials, and processes so you can have informed conversations with contractors
• Local expertise: Information specific to Edmonton's climate challenges—hail damage, ice dams, temperature extremes
• Vetted recommendations: We research local roofers and recommend companies with proven track records, proper credentials, and satisfied customers
• Neighborhood guides: Area-specific information for Edmonton communities with different housing stock and roofing considerations

How We Research & Recommend

We don't accept payment from roofing companies for recommendations. Our featured roofer earns their spot through demonstrated excellence:

• Review analysis: We examine HomeStars, Google, and BBB ratings across hundreds of reviews
• Credential verification: We verify licensing, insurance, and manufacturer certifications
• Track record: We look for companies with years of consistent service in the Edmonton area
• Customer feedback: We pay attention to how companies handle complaints and follow up after projects
• Local presence: We prefer locally-owned companies with roots in the Edmonton community

Our current recommendation, Fair and Square Roofing, meets all these criteria with the highest HomeStars rating among Edmonton roofing companies and consistent Best of Award recognition since 2014.

What We Are Not

To be clear about our role:

• We are not a roofing company. We don't install, repair, or inspect roofs.
• We don't provide quotes. Contact our recommended roofer directly for estimates.
• We don't employ roofers. The companies we recommend are independent businesses.
• We don't guarantee work. Warranties come from the roofing company and material manufacturers.

We're a guide and resource—think of us as a knowledgeable neighbor who's done the research to help you find a great roofer.

Edmonton's Roofing Challenges

Edmonton's climate creates unique demands on residential roofs. Our content is specifically tailored to address these local challenges:

• Extreme temperatures: From -30°C winters to +30°C summers, Edmonton roofs experience significant thermal cycling
• Hail exposure: Edmonton sits in Alberta's "Hail Alley" with multiple damaging storms each summer
• Heavy snow loads: Over 120 cm of annual snowfall stresses roof structures
• Ice dams: Freeze-thaw cycles create ice buildup that damages roofing and causes leaks
• Prairie winds: Strong winds require proper shingle installation and high wind ratings

Understanding these factors helps Edmonton homeowners make better roofing decisions and communicate effectively with contractors.
