Why Callingwood homeowners choose IronWrap
Built out in the early-to-mid 1980s, Callingwood North and South are classic west-Edmonton family housing. After four decades of Alberta weather, most homes here have cycled through a couple of asphalt roofs and are due again — which makes the neighbourhood a steady metal roofing market for us, much like the surrounding West Edmonton communities.
Callingwood's roofs are practical and moderate in complexity, so the economics work well — metal shingles in a shake or slate look are the popular, cost-effective choice, with standing seam available for owners wanting a more modern profile. Both end the asphalt cycle for good.
Being on the west side, Callingwood gets the open-layout wind exposure common to the area, and the usual Alberta hail risk. Concealed-fastener metal handles wind far better than asphalt tabs, and hail-rated panels don't crack the way shingles do.
It's a quick run from our 118 Ave shop, so Callingwood quotes and installs move efficiently. Where the eavestrough and fascia are as tired as the roof — common on homes this age — we bundle eavestrough and soffit and fascia into the same project.

The specifics that matter here
1980s asphalt at end-of-life
Most Callingwood homes have cycled through a couple of asphalt roofs. They're due again — the right moment to break the cycle with metal.
Cost-effective profile fit
Practical, moderate-complexity roofs make metal shingles a great-value choice here, with standing seam available for a more modern look.
West-side wind and hail
Open west-end layouts catch wind, and Alberta hail is always a factor. Concealed-fastener metal beats lifting asphalt tabs, and hail-rated panels don't crack.
