Roofing & Exteriors · Canmore, AB
Canmore roofing,
siding and eavestrough.
Canmore is the only community we serve where the roof over your head is governed by fire rules as much as weather. Since 2018 the Land Use Bylaw has required fire-rated roofing, and the Town rebates half the cost of upgrading to Class A. We install to those standards and handle the paperwork trail that goes with them.
Why Canmore
Roofing built for the Bow Valley
Canmore roofs carry loads nothing on the prairie sees. Mountain snowfall sits deeper and longer, valley wind funnels between the Three Sisters and Lady Macdonald, and the freeze-thaw at this elevation works harder than a Calgary chinook does. Steeper pitches, heavier snow retention and properly detailed valleys are not upgrades here, they are the baseline.
On top of that, this is a wildland-urban interface town with a bylaw to match. Since March 2018 every new and repaired roof in Canmore has needed a minimum Class B fire rating, and the Town pays half the cost of going to Class A, up to $5,000. We install to those ratings, name the tested product on the quote, and give you the documentation the incentive requires.

Where We Work
Canmore neighbourhoods we cover.
Canmore sits in the Bow Valley with forest on every side, which places almost the entire town inside what wildfire planners call the wildland-urban interface: there is little to no separation between the houses and the trees. Roughly 600 Canmore homes take part in the FireSmart program, the Bow Valley Community Fireguard runs along the edges of town, and since March 2018 the Land Use Bylaw has required a minimum Class B fire rating on all new and repaired roofs. Nowhere else in our service area does the roofing material itself carry that kind of regulatory weight.
Permits & Local Rules
What applies in Canmore?
Two things apply in Canmore that do not apply elsewhere. First, since March 2018 the Town of Canmore requires a minimum Class B fire rating on all new and repaired roofs. Second, the Town runs a Roof Replacement Incentive that pays single-family homeowners 50 percent of the replacement cost when Class A materials are used, up to $5,000. A like-for-like re-roof does not require a development permit, but the fire rating requirement applies regardless, and the incentive has its own documentation. We quote the Class A option on every Canmore job so the rebate is on the table before you decide.

Yes. Since March 2018 the Town of Canmore has required a minimum Class B fire rating on all new and repaired roofs, which is a consequence of the whole town sitting in the wildland-urban interface. We name the tested product and its rating on every Canmore quote.
For a single-family home, 50 percent of the cost of replacement using Class A materials, up to $5,000. It is a Town of Canmore program with its own documentation requirements, and we prepare the paperwork trail as part of the job.
More than an equivalent prairie roof, because of pitch, access, snow detailing and the fire-rated material requirement. Most Canmore homes land between $12,000 and $28,000 depending on material and complexity, and the Class A rebate can take a meaningful bite out of that. Every quote is itemized line by line.
