Regional Roofing Considerations
The Edmonton metro area shares common roofing challenges due to our continental climate:
- Hail exposure: The entire region experiences 2-3 significant hail storms per summer
- Temperature extremes: -30°C to +30°C creates thermal stress on all roofing materials
- Heavy snow loads: 120+ cm annual snowfall requires proper structural capacity
- Ice dams: Freeze-thaw cycles affect all Edmonton-area homes
While these challenges are regional, specific neighborhoods have additional considerations based on home age, construction era building practices, and local terrain.
Roof Age by Area
Many Edmonton roofs are approaching or past their expected lifespan. Here's what we typically see:
- Millwoods, Sherwood Park (older sections): Many 1970s-80s homes with original roofs now 35-50 years old—well past replacement age
- St. Albert (established areas), Oliver: Mix of replaced and original roofs; many 1980s-90s roofs due for replacement
- Windermere, Beaumont (new sections): Mostly roofs under 15 years; focus on maintenance and hail damage
- All areas: Post-hail-event repairs and replacements have updated many roofs since 2010
