Our Roofing Services

Asphalt Shingles

Fiberglass reinforced asphalt shingle are made with an asphalt-saturated base covered on one or both sides with asphalt or modified asphalt, the exposed surface impregnated with slate, schist, quartz, vitrified brick, stone, or ceramic granules to give colour to the exposed part of the shingle. The under-side treated with sand, talc, or mica to prevent shingles from sticking to one-another before use.

The top surface granules block ultra-violet light, which causes the shingles to deteriorate, provides some physical protection of the asphalt core, and provides colour.

Some shingles have copper or other biocides added to the surface to help prevent algae growth.

Benefits:

  • Economical and popular
  • Requires minimum maintenance
  • Easy to install
  • More tear-resistant
  • Hides imperfections on the roof’s deck
  • Better at withstanding changes in temperature
  • Warranty is usually 20-40 years according to the model

Drawbacks:

  • Some models are less resistant to heavy rains, strong winds and hail

Metal Roof or Galvanized Steel

Galvanization protects the metal against corrosion over several decades. Available in large sheets or shingles.

Benefits:

  • Corrosion-resistant
  • Does not crack, split or break
  • Lightweight
  • Very minimal maintenance
  • 40-year Limited Warranty

Cedar Shingles

Comes in natural, pre-stained or pre-aged shingles. The weathered look of pre-aged shingles adds old-world charm to a home, something many homeowners are looking for.

Benefits:

  • Attractive and natural
  • Rot-proof
  • Naturally insect-resistant
  • More common in warmer climate zones
  • Extra-A Grade used for roofing
  • You can use an oil to whiten or age the cedar
  • Can be factory-stained.
  • Comes in many shapes: rectangular, round, diamond, hexagonal
  • Different colours and stains to choose from
  • Warranty is usually 30 years

Drawbacks:

  • High installation costs
  • Require periodic maintenance
  • Flammable material
  • Expensive
  • Don’t last long enough in Alberta in comparison to the cost because of dry climate
  • Wood picker and squirrels can damage the roof

Do you like the look of cedar shingles or shakes? We like using Enviroshake products; they’re engineered but look like authentic cedar and they have a lifetime warranty.

Also look at Euroshield®, their rubber (recycled tire) roofs look like wood shakes, or slate and are Earth-conscious.

Well I’m the talk of my neighbourhood!!! A brand new roof in just ONE DAY? My neighbours and I were blown away. Not one person that I spoke to had their roofs replaced with such efficiency and with such professionalism. The quality of the work was amazing and did I mention that it didn’t look like ANYONE was on my property after they had left? My property was SPIC and SPAN!!! The team at West Quality Construction Inc. are the ultimate professionals and would recommend them to anyone! Thank you for making my life easier.

– C. Joly

I couldn’t visualize what our home would look like with both horizontal and vertical siding. Nor could I see how it could look as a different colour and with cedar accents. I was blown away at the renderings Francois brought over. It was like our ideas literally came to life on the computer screen. Now I’m excited to have West Quality bring it to reality!

Anyone looking to replace siding would be well advised to hire West Quality Construction Inc. We had our late 1950’s bungalow stripped to the bones this August 2014; they then installed insulation, Hardi Board siding, eaves and soffit with our complete satisfaction. The siding crew (Eric & Caroline) took care of every detail from stripping off the old stucco and two layers of siding to always cleaning up after each day’s work.

This company is very professional leaving us extremely satisfied with all aspects of their work.

Donna & Murray David

After waiting for 6 months + for insurance repair following a major storm last summer, we contacted Kino at West Quality for a quote to replace damaged siding, remove and fill in a broken window, and replace roof and gutter system. They were very prompt in their response, scheduling and executing the needed repairs very quickly. Quality, including on site management and clean was excellent. I would highly recommend them.

West Quality came and did the exterior of our home recently. They were incredible to work with, knowledgeable, patient, gave us a realistic timeline and kept to it. Right away they were clear on communication, the attention to detail and quality of workmanship was outstanding. We are incredibly happy with the work that was done on our home.

Thank you very much West Quality, we look forward to doing other projects with you in the future. Everyone was amazing but a big thank you to Valerie, Kino, Francois and their entire team that worked on our home.

West Quality did siding replacement of vinyl with Hardie board on our house with new insulation added underneath. The crews were punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, readily adapted to small requests and changes. Their daily clean up was excellent. It’s been 4 months since the install the fit and finish looks very good.

Supply chain issues delayed the project but Francois sourced thicker insulation and did not increase the price to us.
