Shingle Repair in Edmonton
Wind-lifted, cracked or missing shingles should be dealt with before water gets underneath them. Roof It Right provides shingle repair in Edmonton for wind, hail and age damage. We replace the damaged shingles, match the color and profile to the rest of the roof, and fasten the new ones with a 6-nail high-wind pattern so the repair holds in the next storm. Most shingle repairs are finished in one to two hours once we are on the roof.
Professional Shingle Repair Services in Edmonton
From Windermere and Chappelle to Griesbach, these are the four shingle problems we repair most often.
Wind-Blown and Missing Shingles
Spring gusts of 90 to 110 km/h create uplift over the peak of a roof that pulls shingles off the deck. We replace the missing tabs, check the surrounding courses for broken seals, and re-secure anything that has started to lift. If shingles have just come off, our guide on what to do about missing shingles after wind covers the first steps.
Hail-Bruised and Cracked Shingles
Hail knocks granules off and bruises the mat underneath, and the damage often shows up as cracks a season or two later. We replace the affected shingles and photograph the damage in case you want to involve your insurer.
Lifted Tabs and Failed Seal Strips
Self-sealing strips need heat to bond. On a roof installed in a cold October, or where construction dust reached the strip before it set, that bond can be weak. We re-seal lifted tabs by hand with roofing mastic so they lock down right away.
Nailing Faults From the Original Install
Many new-build roofs are fastened with four nails per shingle, and some are nailed too high to catch both layers. Under wind load those shingles pull free of the nail. We re-fasten the affected area properly instead of only replacing what fell off.
Benefits of Timely Shingle Repair for Edmonton Homes
One Lifted Corner Does Not Become a Bare Slope
Once a single corner lifts, the wind gets under it and starts working on the next shingle. Repairing a few tabs early stops that domino effect across the slope.
A Dry Underlayment and Roof Deck
Shingles are the first layer of protection. With them missing, rain and melting snow reach the underlayment and the roof deck. A prompt repair keeps water out of the wood and prevents a roof leak.
A Repair That Does Not Show From the Street
We match the color, profile and weathering of your existing shingles as closely as possible, so the repair blends in and the house keeps its curb appeal.
More Years Before a Replacement
A roof with one damaged area and sound shingles everywhere else does not need replacing. Repairing the weak spot lets the rest of the roof serve out its life.
Our Shingle Repair Process
1. Inspect and Photograph the Damage
We check the damaged area and the shingles around it, and look over your vents, flashing and valleys while we are up there. You get photos of everything we find.
2. Match the Shingle
We keep the most common Edmonton shingles on hand, including IKO Cambridge, Malarkey Legacy and Vista, BP Mystique, Owens Corning and GAF, and match the color and profile to your roof.
3. Replace With a 6-Nail Pattern
Every shingle we replace is fastened with six nails instead of four. That is 50% more attachment points than a standard install, which matters most on the windy edges of the city.
4. Hand-Seal and Confirm
We add a bead of roofing mastic under the leading edge of each replacement tab so it holds from day one, then check the repair, clean up and send you the after photos.
Why Choose Roof It Right for Shingle Repair in Edmonton
No Repair Is Too Small
We built the company around repairs. A handful of missing tabs is a normal job for us, and we will not turn it into a replacement quote.
Color Matching Is Part of the Job
A patchwork roof is the most common complaint about shingle repairs. We match the product, color and weathering so the repair is hard to spot. On a very old, sun-faded roof a slight difference can remain, and we tell you that up front.
Built for Edmonton Wind
Six nails per shingle and hand-sealed tabs are our standard on every repair, not an upgrade. The aim is that you never call us about the same spot twice.
The Track Record Behind Each Repair
Our team has more than 10 years of combined experience, over 2,000 roofing projects completed in Edmonton and the surrounding area, and 50+ five-star reviews.
Edmonton Shingle Repair FAQs
Will the new shingles match my old roof?
In most cases, closely. We stock the shingles Edmonton home builders have used most over the last 20 years, including IKO Cambridge, BP Mystique and Malarkey, and we match color, profile and texture. Extreme fading on a very old roof can leave a slight variation.
How long does a shingle repair take?
Most wind-blown shingle repairs take one to two hours once we are on site.
How much does shingle repair cost in Edmonton?
Most wind-blown shingle repairs fall between $450 and $850, depending on the height of the roof and how many tabs are missing. Each repair includes a check of your vents, flashing and valleys.
Will my insurance cover missing shingles?
Wind damage is often a covered peril, but with deductibles commonly at $1,000 or more, a repair can cost less than making a claim. If you do claim, we provide full photo documentation. The coverage decision rests with your insurer.
Can you repair shingles while it is raining?
We can tarp the area to stop an active leak. The permanent repair is done once the shingles are dry so the sealant bonds properly. If water is coming in now, see emergency roof repair.
Which parts of Edmonton see the most wind damage?
Open, newer areas on the edges of the city take the most wind. That includes Windermere, Ambleside, Keswick and Glenridding in the southwest, Summerside, Walker, Laurel and The Orchards in the south and southeast, and Secord, Rosenthal and Edgemont in the west. We also repair shingles in St. Albert, Sherwood Park and Beaumont. See our service areas.
