We have issued a roof snow removal advisory for the Edmonton, Alberta and region including Red Deer, Drayton Valley, Lloydminster, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, Grand Prairie, Fort McMurray, and points between.

Roof snow load levels are nearing 2011 levels where central Alberta experienced a number of roof collapses. The combination of roof ice from freeze-thaw and roof snow has become a considerable concern.

The article at the link below details methods of roof snow and ice removal, methods to avoid ice dams and snow build up on roofs, and maintenance steps for the DIY home-owner or commercial property owner.

Read Shingle Sale Press Release Here

Terms and Conditions of Annual GRS Shingle Sale

1. Customers must place / execute orders in advance by way of executed terms and conditions of a standard GRS Work Order prior to the end of November 31, 2012. Shingle sale is first come first serve and when orders are filled the sale stops (see point 5 below).

4. GRS Controls Installation Schedule in Accordance to Specifications and Weather. The Project Management staff at GRS need to be able to control scheduling under this arrangement and install at their discretion between Jan 1, 2013 and March 31, 2013. In other words, Project Management will look for days in the weather that are suitable to the application of the shingles only (or suitable for other materials in the work order). In some instances, this may only be a day at a time so your roof may take a number of days and the replacement shingle crew may have to come and leave a number of times. Shingle and other material warranty and manufacturer specifications only allow shingles to be installed at specific temperatures.

5. Shingle Sale Limitations. Unfortunately, we can only confidently book one hundred homes to be re-shingled during this time period so we have to reserve the number of homes that can qualify for this sale to one hundred homes. When all one hundred homes have pre-ordered the annual shingle sale is finished for the year.

6. Roof Assessment and Quotation. Sale pricing is in effect for quotations processed between September 1, 2012 and October 31, 2012 only.

Edmonton Roof Repair Spotlight Project
Innovations in Roof Repair and Flat Roof Replacement

June 03, 2012 - Edmonton, Alberta Canada

The crews for General Roofing Systems Canada (GRS) in Edmonton recently repaired (replaced) a condominium flat roof that was a typical tar and gravel flat roof to a four ply engineered liquid rubber flat roof.

The original tar and gravel roof was removed, roof repairs were done (the roof sheathing was rotted and replaced), the parapet walls were constructed to allow for an engineered sloped insulation package for better roof drainage, and a four ply engineered liquid rubber roof was installed.

The result? An environmentally friendly, VOC free, completely seamless roof membrane, with a roof assembly that allows for proper water drainage, and no open flames, no heat welding, and no odors for the tenants of the condominium to deal with.

This ground breaking innovative flat roof repair and replacement that was completed last week can be viewed at this link:

Edmonton Roof Repair, Metal Roof Leak Repair and Maintenance

Roof Repair - Liquid Rubber to Industrial Metal Roof
Picture taken on location Nisku, AB

Roof Repair - Metal Roof Repair and Maintenance

Liquid rubber is proving to be an effective solution for roof repair. The photo's below show a metal roof on an industrial facility near Edmonton, Alberta (Nisku, AB) that we recently repaired with liquid rubber roof coating.

The roof coating process is;

- Pressure wash and clean the roof
- Tape off areas that liquid rubber should not be applied to
- Replace all loose fasteners and do any sheet metal repairs required
- Use a trowel grade liquid rubber (400% elasticity) to the fasteners, openings, penetrations, curbs, etc (in this instance the roof to wall area was coated as snow and ice build up gets in the roof to wall connection)
- Apply first coat of liquid rubber with sprayer (900% elasticity)
- Apply second coat of liquid rubber opposite direction to be sure all seams and fasteners, roof units, curbs, wall to roof area, etc. are one monolithic seamless roof system

Some of the advantages the liquid rubber system has is;

- Seamless roof system, no seams = no leaks
- Ten year manufacturer warranty
- Extended service packages available for extended maintenance plans
- VOC environmentally friendly green roofing product
- Maintenance and not a replacement so the tax benefits are considerable
- Rust, corrosion to metal is solved
- UV resistant unlike other roof caulking and coatings used in past (the acrylics, asphalt, and reflective elastomeric roofing used in past would crack within a year or two)
- Liquid rubber can be used to coat tar and gravel and torch on flat roofing also.

If you have a metal roof that becomes difficult to manage from a repair and maintenance perspective due to expansion and contraction of metal panels at seams, fasteners, and penetrations... liquid rubber is the best alternative.

Roofer's fatal fall at Gordon Campbell's home highlights little-known law

Gordon Campbell Roofing Accident on Vacation Home

Vancouver Sun


"An accident in which a roofer was killed when he fell through the skylight of former premier Gordon Campbell's vacation home is highlighting a little-known piece of contract law that can have huge implications for homeowners.


In a report released publicly Monday, WorkSafeBC said Campbell, as the homeowner, became the "prime contractor" because he failed to assign that written role to the general contractor whose company was doing some renovations on his Sunshine Coast home last July. As a result, the former premier had the legal responsibility for coordinating and establishing compliance with health and safety requirements."

Here is an article we found at Buildings.Com about commercial roof maintenance, repair and replacement, and restoration.


"Repair or replacement
A roof undergoes serious wear and tear throughout its lifetime, with factors such as weathering and degeneration taking their toll. Through scientific testing and analysis, a roofing provider can outline the current condition of your roof and to help you decide if roof repair or restoration is an option or whether roof replacement is necessary. The building should dictate the roofing system so the roofing provider must be familiar with building codes, energy solutions and roof systems—including all nine major roofing systems and more than 60 subsets—to help you make the best decision for your specific system and building type. Choosing a roofing provider that offers repair and restoration options, not just replacements, improves the likelihood of an accurate analysis and a successful plan for your roof and your budget. A good rule of thumb is to consider repairing your roof if it will survive its original service life expectancy without exceeding the cost of a new roof."

Below is the latest Snowfall Warning from Environment Canada issued at 11:47AM this morning. There are accumulations of up to 20 centimetres of snow expected by this evening with heaviest snow loads on roofs occurring in Spruce Grove and Drayton Valley regions of Alberta where they could reach 25cm.

Roof Snow Load Considerations
Removing snow from the roof (especially flat roof snow removal) is a wise thing to do, especially considering the live loads from last winter. Last winter the snow loads exceeded all acceptable live loads for roofs in Central and Northern Alberta and we seen a number of roofs collapse. For more information on acceptable live loads and roof snow and ice removal services visit our main blog and search key words.

Removing Snow and Ice From the Roof
Roof Snow removal can be dangerous and should be done by a professional, however, if you are considering doing it yourself you will want to be sure you are following safety and structural engineering principles in the process. Our main roofing blog has articles that will assist you.

Roof Drainage
Flat Roof systems require that the roof drains be free and clear of ice and debris. When heavy snow loads and the freeze thaw cycle starts there is the danger of roof drains freezing up. When the weather improves and the snow begins to melt, be sure to check the roof drains regularly during the process.

Here's a video from You Tube we found that shows what can occur when roof drains and scuppers are not cleared properly.

Preventative Roof Maintenance
Specifically important with Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Roofing, after you have dealt with the roof snow removal, the ice removal, and you have checked to be sure the drains are clear of ice and debris the next step in the process is to have the roof checked in the early spring. As soon as the roof is clear of snow and ice you should be sure that a qualified roofing contractor checks all the seams of the roof membrane, the flashing, and drains. For a preventative roof maintenance checklist visit our main web site under roof maintenance.

Roof Snow Removal, Ice Dam Removal, and Snow Loads on Roofs

General Roofing Systems Canada (GRS) Provides Roof Top Snow Removal, Ice Dam Removal, and Roof Snow Management Services to Edmonton, Alberta and Area.


1.780.424.7663 | edmonton@grscanadainc.com

Environment Canada Has Issued a Snow Advisory

Earlier today, Environment Canada issues a snow advisory call for 10 - 15 cm of snow in the Edmonton and Red Deer, Alberta area.

We have some concern with this considering last year live snow loads on roof systems and the collapses that took place. At issue most specifically is larger industrial and commercial flat roof systems in the Edmonton and Red Deer areas. Live loads on roof systems are an important consideration when there is upwards 10-15 cm of snow about to load on flat roofs around the city given the over-loads last season.

Our main roofing blog has an article covering the considerations of roof snow loads and snow removal and when it should be done and why. The blog also has a number of other detailed articles about rooftop snow, snow loads, roof drainage, attic ventilation, condensation, emergency roof repair, and the general maintenance of your roof in times like these.

If you need any advise or roof snow removal or ice dam removal services call us at +1.780.424.7663 or email us at edmonton@grscanadainc.com.

Our 24 Hour Emergency Roof Repair Hotline is +1.877.497.3528. 

Best of luck with the snow on your roof! Be sure to clear the roof and keep a close eye toward the roof drainage! Clean out the roof drains as the snow begins to melt.

4:48pm Feb 21, 2012. Roof Report from the Flat Roof Maintenance Crew, Edmonton Alberta

Today we were asked for an article submission about roof repair and maintenance from a roof maintenance crew perspective being the spring is right around the corner.

Today we were fighting weather in Roofing in Edmonton and it looks like we'll be fighting again tomorrow. Tomorrow we're on a Torch On "Rolled Roof" Commercial Roof Repair job for one of the local unions.

As far as a list of items we look for when doing maintenance and repair check-ups on flat roofing, the following would be our "Top 10 List" of things to watch for with regular maintenance on a flat roof (Commercial, Residential, and Industrial all applies).

Flat Roof Maintenance is Important
to Life Cycle of Membrane

About Regular Maintenance and Repairs

Flat roof repair and maintenance is a fair bit more involved than pitched roof systems, primarily in that there are a lot more potential problems with flat roofs and flat roofs really do need regular maintenance. Ideally, we tell customers to have maintenance done in spring and fall. Spring because roof drains can become clogged and the water sitting on a roof is not good. Also fall is important because prior to freeze-up you want to again be sure the drains are clear for freeze thaw cycles.

Remember that excessive water on your roof can cause leaks at seams of single ply roofing such as EPDM, TPO, or PVC and even SBS Modified Torch On can fail at the seams. Tar and Gravel systems are less likely to leak from water pooling, but still the water pooling should be eliminated whenever possible. Tar and gravel roofs that are older that have bitumen rolled paper that is dried out can become a problem.

Quite simply, your main focus is clearing the drains, make sure the scuppers are clear, make sure no leaks have saturated the insulation in the roof, if there is an attic space be sure to check for condensation or moisture, and if you do have any roof leaks be sure to get them fixed before the spring rain season.

TOP TEN Repair and Maintenance Check Ups on a Flat Roof;

1. Sealants, Caulking, Pitch Pan Fillers

2. Drainage, Eliminating Ponding, Internal Roof Drains, and Scuppers

3. Check Parapet Walls

4. Check Sheet Metal and Flashing at Parapets, Around Units, and at Skylights and Roof Windows

5. Building Structure Exterior, Interior, Roof Connections and Tie-Ins, Expansion Joints

6. Rooftop Units, Air Conditioning Units, Skylights, Deleting Units and Roofing In Deleted Rooftop Units

7. Roof Membrane Splitting, Punctures, Fisures, Blistering, Cracking

8. Water Saturated Insulation, Swelling of Insulation (Spongy Under Foot When Roof Walked On)

9. Roof Ballast Being Even and Covering Roof to Protect From UV

10. General Roof Clean-Up

Edmonton Roofing - Shingle Repair or Replacement

Edmonton Roofing: Shingles

Roof Shingles

Repair or Replacement of Shingles

We Service Edmonton and Area With Comprehensive Roofing Solutions - Roof Repair and Replacement of Roof Shingles.

Contact us: 1.780.424.7663 | edmonton@grscanadainc.com

Q) How does a home-owner tell if the shingles on your Edmonton Roof need to be repaired or replaced?

A) Your roof protects your home and the contents inside your home from the effects of weather (rain, wind, hail, etc). 

You should consider your roof as your home’s most important protective covering. The maintenance of your roof shingles should be an important part of your regular maintenance to-do list at home. Depending on the type of shingles on your roof, you should be able to expect shingles to last upwards of 20 years, or even more in some instances. Many shingle manufacturers such as IKO, GAF, Certainteed, Owens Corning, and Malarkey now offer Limited Lifetime Warranty or similar warranty on shingles.

Many factors can negatively impact the life expectancy of the shingles you have on your home. Factors that can lower the life of your shingles are improper installation, insufficient attic ventilation (which causes shingles to over-heat in the summer and ice dams in the winter), adverse weather conditions (hail, rain, wind), tree branches rubbing on shingles, ice dams, etc.

Anyone can perform a basic roof inspection from the ground. Ground view shingle inspections are performed safely from your driveway or backyard with a set of binoculars or a good digital camera that has a high zoom.

When inspecting your shingles, look for signs of cupping or curling of the shingles, excessive granular loss (granules are the tiny beads imbedded on the top of shingles) as evidenced in your gutters or at the bottom of down-spouts, split, cracked or missing shingles or areas with organic growth (i.e. algae, moss, fungus, staining, etc.).

Also, an indoor roof inspection can be performed easily with a ladder and a flashlight from your attic access. Our main website has an attic ventilation inspection guide that you can follow. 


When inspecting from inside your attic, look for signs of damaged, split or sagging wood framing. Also look for dark areas that look wet or significant discoloration on the underside of the roof sheathing - basically any evidence of frost or moisture on the underside of the roof deck is important to note. 


When excessive humidity builds-up in the attic space due to improper attic ventilation, it is not unusual for mould to grow and this will quickly deteriorate the sheathing. This will also have an adverse effect on the indoor-air quality of your home. Also, the moisture can turn in to what can appear to be a roof leak and can also ruin insulation in your attic when your attic insulation becomes soaked. 


You also want to check to be sure attic insulation is not covering your soffits. The soffit area under the eave area of your home is typically the air intake system to your attic. The air travels up the underside of the roof sheathing to the exhaust vents at the peak of your roof and out goes warm air. Be sure the exhaust vents are also working properly. Be sure the vents are not blocked by snow or ice and that you have adequate exhaust venting area. You need about 1 square foot of exhaust venting per 100 - 300 square feet of attic space.

Attic ventilation is extremely important to the health of your entire roofing / attic system and the indoor air quality of your home. Roof shingles will also last longer when there is proper ventilation in your attic.

If you notice any of these deficiencies in your attic space or with your shingles, you should contact us for a more thorough examination of your roofing shingles and attic system. Sometimes the solution may be only a minor roof repair or roof ‘tune-up’ versus replacing the entire roof.

We repair and replace roofing shingles in; Athabasca, Barrhead, Beaumont, Bon Accord, Calmar, Camrose, Cold Lake, Drayton Valley, Edson, Fairview, Fort McMurray, Fort Saskatchewan, Gibbons, Grande Prairie, High Prairie, Hinton, Innisfree, Jasper, Lac La Biche, Lamont, Leduc, Lloydminster, Mayerthorpe, Millet, Morinville, Panoka, Peace River, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Slave Lake, Smoky Lake, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Thorhild, Thorsby, Tofield, Two Hills, Valley View, Vegreville, Vermilion, Wainwright, Westlock, Wetaskiwin, Whitecourt and points between.
