It starts with a sunny sky… but when thunderheads rise over Calgary, we all know what could be coming next.
Why Roofing in Calgary Isn’t Like Anywhere Else
Living in Calgary means dealing with wild weather swings such as hailstorms, chinooks, icy winds, and blazing summer heat. These extreme conditions put serious pressure on your roof. That’s why choosing the right materials, hiring an experienced installation team, and following a smart maintenance plan is essential, not just for looks, but for protecting your biggest investment.
At Alfa Roofing & Siding, we’ve helped Calgary homeowners make storm-smart decisions for decades. Here’s what you need to know to stay protected.
The #1 Threat to Calgary Roofs: Hail Damage
Calgary is often called Canada’s hail capital, and for good reason. In August 2024, a massive hailstorm caused an estimated $3.25 billion in insured losses. The 2020 storm? Another $1.2 billion.
These aren’t just statistics, they’re damaged roofs, torn-up siding, and families racing to repair their homes. If you lived through it, you remember the noise, the fear, and the mess left behind.
Not all roofing systems can stand up to that kind of punishment, but some are built to take the hit.
Our Top Hail-Resistant Roofing Products
Euroshield® Rubber Roofing
Made from recycled tires and engineered to withstand hailstones up to 2″ wide.
Class 4 Impact-Rated Asphalt Shingles
Durable, budget-friendly, and may qualify for home insurance discounts.
James Hardie® Siding
Not technically roofing—but essential for full exterior protection. It’s fire-resistant, weatherproof, and stunning.
Bonus: Many Alberta insurers offer lower premiums when you upgrade to hail-resistant roofing and siding.
Don’t Just Replace — Upgrade!
If your roof is aging or recently damaged, don’t just swap in the same old shingles. Use the opportunity to upgrade to smarter, storm-resistant solutions.
Smart Upgrades Worth Considering:
- Advanced attic ventilation systems to prevent ice dams
- Synthetic underlayments for better waterproofing
- Architectural shingles with wind resistance up to 130 km/h

Real Words from a Homeowner Who Experienced Both of Calgary’s Worst Hailstorms
“We had hail damage in 2020. We went with a preferred contractor through insurance and it was a year and a half of nonstop stressful issues.
2024 we had hail damage again. We chose ALFA from the insurance preferred list. What a difference!! Communication was great! They answered all our questions in a timely fashion. The work was all done properly and we didn’t have to ask anyone to come back and fix things.
Breanne kept us in the loop and coordinated all the work around our schedule. Cody checked in to make sure we were on track. Tyler also accommodated our schedule and was friendly and professional.
We will definitely be telling all our friends about them and we look forward to working on projects with them personally again in the near future.
THANK YOU ALFA for making this round of hail damage repairs a **stress-free and smooth experience!!”
