Calgary Metal Roofing Built for Hail, Wind, and Chinooks
Some projects remind us why we do what we do.
This one started in Calgary, under a sky that can’t decide if it’s winter or spring — where a Chinook wind melts snow by breakfast and hail threatens by dinner.
That’s life in southern Alberta. And that’s precisely why Betty called us.
From Estimate to Installation — A Story of Care and Craft
When Betty met with our Calgary representative, her goal wasn’t just a new roof — it was peace of mind.
Because in Calgary, homeowners don’t shop for shingles; they look for certainty.
Hailstorms hit harder here.
Winds race down from the Rockies with unpredictable force.
And temperature swings — from −30°C to +30°C — can shred traditional asphalt roofs within a decade.
That’s why Betty chose a Musket Grey Interlock Slate Roof — a lifetime aluminum system engineered for Calgary’s challenges.
It’s not about the metal itself.
It’s about what that metal does:
- It ends the cycle of repair and re-roofing.
- It turns worry into confidence.
- It transforms a house into a home protected for life.
Built for Calgary. Designed for Forever.
Living near the Bow River, with the Rocky Mountains just beyond view, means beauty comes with extremes.
Every Calgarian knows the sound of hail on a window, the weight of snow on the eaves, and the sudden rush of warm Chinook air sweeping through the city.
That’s why the Interlock Metal Roofing System isn’t just a roof — it’s a shield built for this landscape.
Each panel interlocks four ways, resisting winds up to 190 km/h, shrugging off hail that would destroy asphalt, and shedding snow before it becomes an ice dam.
And it looks good doing it — a sleek slate-style roof that adds architectural polish to Calgary’s modern and heritage homes alike.
The Improvement That Lasts
Betty didn’t just buy a product; she invested in an improvement — a permanent one.
Because people don’t buy roofs for what they are; they buy them for what they do.
This new roof:
- Delivers decades of durability with a lifetime warranty.
- Boosts energy efficiency through reflective aluminum.
- Stands up to hail, wind, and snow.
- Adds curb appeal that complements Calgary’s architectural character.
- Offers solar compatibility and a long-term ROI of 85.9% (according to Remodeling Magazine).
- Reduces waste — part of the 11 million tons of roofing debris Interlock systems keep out of landfills each year.
That’s not just a roof.
That’s transformation.
Why Calgarians Choose Interlock
Because here, improvement matters more than promises.
The quality and quantity of improvement — that’s what makes the decision easy.
Interlock homeowners see what’s next: fewer repairs, better protection, more beauty, more time enjoying life instead of maintaining it.
That’s what Betty experienced.
And that’s what we strive to deliver — every time, from Marda Loop to Airdrie, Okotoks to Cochrane, and every Calgary neighbourhood in between.

FAQs for Homeowners Looking for Metal Roofing in Calgary
Absolutely. Calgary’s climate swings from −30°C winters to +30°C summers, with intense hailstorms, Chinook winds, and heavy snow loads.
A high-quality aluminum or steel roof offers Class 4 hail impact resistance, high wind-uplift protection, and exceptional performance through freeze–thaw cycles — conditions that destroy traditional asphalt shingles.
A properly installed metal roof is one of the few options that can truly handle Calgary’s extremes.
Calgary is Canada’s hail capital, so impact resistance matters.
Premium metal roofs — like the Interlock 4-way interlocking aluminum system — are engineered to withstand hail up to 2 inches in diameter.
Unlike asphalt, metal doesn’t crack, tear, or lose granules, meaning fewer insurance claims and far longer service life.
No. Modern metal roofs use reflective coatings that bounce solar heat, helping lower cooling costs in summer.
And when installed over proper sheathing and insulation, they’re no louder than shingles — often quieter.
Many Calgary homeowners actually notice less noise during rain or hail compared to their previous roof.
Yes — and better than most materials.
The smooth surface and interlocking panels shed snow before it becomes an ice dam.
Optional snow-guard systems control slide patterns above walkways and driveways.
This helps protect gutters, eaves, and landscaping from snow-shedding damage during thaw periods after Chinooks.
A premium metal roof can last 50 years or more, while asphalt shingles typically last 10–20 years in Calgary’s climate.
That means most homeowners buy 3–4 asphalt roofs in a lifetime — versus one Interlock Metal Roofing system backed by a lifetime transferable warranty.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime investment that delivers long-term savings and peace of mind.
Upfront, yes — metal costs more to install.
But factor in zero replacements, minimal maintenance, lower energy bills, and higher resale value, and the numbers flip.
According to Remodeling Magazine, metal roofing delivers an 85.9% return on investment (ROI) — one of the highest among exterior upgrades.
Absolutely. Metal roofing is solar-ready.
Standing-seam and interlocking panel systems allow for non-penetrating mounts, preserving your roof’s watertight seal.
It’s the ideal long-term foundation for solar integration — many Calgary homeowners are pairing their lifetime roofs with renewable-energy systems.
