Who We Are
In Alberta’s harsh winters and unpredictable storms, choosing a local roofing contractor isn’t just about convenience – it’s about survival. AB Roofing understands these conditions firsthand, which is why our roofing systems are built to last.
As a locally owned and operated company in Edmonton, AB Roofing has deep roots in the community. Being a local contractor means more than just proximity – it means understanding the specific challenges Alberta homeowners and property managers face, from freeze-thaw cycles to windstorms and sudden hail.
We live and work here, so we build roofs that withstand Alberta’s extreme weather and serve our clients with the kind of care only a neighbour can provide.
What Does “Owner-Operated” Mean – and Why It Matters?
Unlike large corporations or national chains that often rely on subcontractors, AB Roofing is a fully owner-operated roofing company. This means the owner is directly involved in every project – from your initial inspection to final quality check.
Why does this matter?
- Accountability: No passing the buck. You know who’s responsible.
- Consistency: Our team is trained in-house, not outsourced.
- Communication: You speak with the person in charge, not a call center.
Q: Is it better to hire an owner-operated roofer?
A: Yes. These companies tend to offer more consistent quality, direct communication, and long-term accountability.
With AB Roofing, your project isn’t just a job – it’s a commitment we take personally.
Our Mission and Long-Term Vision
Our mission is simple: build roofs that last – and relationships that matter.
We back our work with 25+ year warranties – and not just as a marketing claim. Here’s what makes it possible:
- Premium materials, like IKO shingles built for Canadian climates.
- Expert installation by trained professionals.
- Proper ventilation and drainage systems to extend roof life.
- Seasonal inspections to identify and fix issues early.
A roof isn’t a one-time transaction. It’s a long-term investment – and we’re here to protect it with you.
Are Licensed and Certified Roofers Really Better?
Short answer? Yes – and here’s why.
At AB Roofing, we’re fully licensed, insured, and certified. But we don’t just list credentials – we explain what they mean for your safety, investment, and peace of mind:
- WCB (Workers’ Compensation Board) Coverage:
You’re protected from liability if a worker gets injured. - Liability Insurance:
If something goes wrong on-site, you’re not the one paying for damages. - IKO Selected Installer:
Gives you access to extended manufacturer warranties and the highest quality materials.
When you hire a certified roofer, you’re hiring someone who takes responsibility – legally, financially, and professionally.

How We Ensure Consistent Quality – Without Subcontractors
When you hire AB Roofing, you’re hiring our team, not someone we barely know.
Here’s how we maintain control and quality:
- On-site supervision: The owner or senior staff are present during key project phases.
- Internal teams only: No day labor, no random crews.
- Final walk-through: No project is “done” until it meets our standards – and yours.
- Warranty tracking: We proactively manage your warranty coverage and inspections.
This hands-on model ensures every shingle reflects our name – and our pride.
Example Projects – What They Teach Us
Every project, big or small, brings unique challenges and solutions.
- Rural Residential Roof:
One Edmonton-area home needed reinforcement to handle snow loads and a custom ridge vent system to fight attic condensation – increasing roof life by over a decade. - Multi-Family Complex:
A multi-unit building required noise-reducing shingles and phased work to minimize tenant disruption.
The result: zero complaints and maximum efficiency.
We treat each project as a learning opportunity – and a benchmark for the next one.
