Your roof is 18+ years old
Most Cochrane architectural asphalt shingles last 15 to 25 years. Freeze-thaw cycles, chinooks, and hail push the lower end. Past 18 years, a replacement usually beats another round of repairs.

Signs Your Cochrane Roof Needs
Replacing, Not Just Repairing
Education over the easy upsell. If your Cochrane roof is under 15 years old, a repair is almost always smarter than a full replacement. Here is when it isn't.
Widespread shingle damage
Curling, cracking, or missing shingles across multiple slopes signal end-of-life, not a spot repair. A replacement protects the decking underneath before water finds a way in and rot starts.
Granules in the gutters
Heavy granule loss means the shingles have lost their UV protection and are breaking down. Once the asphalt underneath is exposed, deterioration accelerates fast under Alberta sun.
Daylight in the attic
Visible daylight or water stains on the underside of the decking means the weather barrier has failed. Moisture is already entering the home and rot in the wood, drywall, or insulation will follow soon after.
Sagging rooflines
Any visible sag points to structural or decking failure that a repair cannot fix. The frame underneath needs a proper structural assessment from a Red Seal roofer before any new roof goes on top of it.
Repeat leaks after repairs
Patching the same area more than once, or wind damage two or three times a year, means the roof is at end-of-life. The cost-benefit shifts to replacement, and we will tell you so straight, no upsell.
What's IncludedWhat's Included in a Sure
What's Included in a Sure
West Roof Replacement
Every Sure West replacement is carried out by our in-house crew. Serving Cochrane, Calgary, and Canmore.
We strip the roof to the deck and inspect every square foot for rot or water damage. Any compromised sheathing is replaced before new materials go on, so the new roof has a sound foundation underneath.
Synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield protect the deck. Shingles selected by performance tier: builder grade, wind performance, or polymer-modified for hail-prone Alberta neighbourhoods.
We tarp landscaping before tear-off and run a magnetic nail sweep daily. The job closes with a final walkthrough and your 10-year written workmanship warranty handed over before we leave.
How It WorksHow a Sure West Cochrane
How a Sure West Cochrane
Roof Replacement Works
Three clear steps from your free estimate to a new roof in writing.
No surprises, no pressure, no hidden fees.
Step 01
On-Site Estimate
We visit your Cochrane home, walk the roof, and bring shingle samples. The visit gives you face time with your contractor and catches what tech misses: access, skylights, chimneys, and persistent leak points.
Step 02
Approve Your Quote
A clear, itemised written quote with site photos and notes follows the visit. If something unexpected comes up once the work is underway, we flag it early and walk you through all your options before we proceed.
Step 03
Your New Roof, Done Right
Tear-off, premium shingle install, magnetic nail sweep, and your 10-year written workmanship guarantee handed over before we leave. A final walkthrough on site confirms the work meets your standard.
Why Sure WestWhat Sets a Sure West
What Sets a Sure West
Roof Apart
Five responsibilities we've taken on, five things every Sure West roof gets that the average Cochrane crew can't match.
Legacy
The Reputation We Leave
Legacy is bigger than the roof. It is the reputation we leave in Cochrane, as roofers and as community builders. A company the community knows by name and is proud to call its own.
Brotherhood
A Tight-Knit Crew
A team that has each other’s backs on the roof and off. Tight-knit, cohesive, aligned in purpose, because the work is too hard to do alongside people you cannot respect. In-house on every Cochrane roof.
Character
Hired for Character
We hire for character first. Skills and knowledge can be taught, alignment of values cannot. If something unexpected comes up on the roof, you hear about it early and decide before any extra work happens.
Competency
Red Seal Journeyman Standard
Red Seal Journeyman is the highest trade credential in Canadian roofing. Our processes are built off that standard to keep quality consistent across every roof. New crew train to the same standard as they grow.
Proven Processes
Predictability in Roofing
Same checklists, same standard, same experience time after time. Predictability in roofing is rare. Our processes are how we deliver it on every roof, no matter who is on site.

Sure West's pricing was a bit better than the other contractor I had quote the job, and Craig sure knows his stuff. The crew put down tarps all around the house and used a magnetic rake. These guys are the real deal.

From start to finish, very professional company. Craig sat down with us and explained our options and guided us through what was best for us. The new roof and skylight look amazing.
