What Alberta roofing contractors work under

Alberta has two rules most other provinces do not: a written permit exemption for like-for-like re-roofing, and a licence for contractors who sell away from their business and take money before the work is done.

National Building Code – 2023 Alberta Edition

Alberta’s building code is the National Building Code – 2023 Alberta Edition; its first printing was declared in force May 1, 2024, and a second printing was published August 17, 2026. Permits come from accredited municipalities, or accredited agencies elsewhere, and primary responsibility for compliance rests with the building owner.

No permit for like-for-like re-roofing

Alberta’s Permit Regulation says no permit is needed for re-roofing when all four conditions hold: the work is for appearance or maintenance, the new roofing is of a similar type, health or safety is not at risk, and there is no structural change to the building.

Prepaid contracting licence

A contractor needs a prepaid contracting licence from Service Alberta, with a security, when it sells or signs home-improvement contracts in person away from its own place of business and accepts money before all the work is done. Customers can cancel those contracts, and door-to-door sales over $25, within 10 days of receiving their signed copy.

What an Alberta roof report includes

A reviewed report for the Alberta property, as a PDF and a customer copy.

  • Roof area by plane, pitch and every edge length: eaves, rakes, ridges, hips, valleys
  • The traced aerial image and a labelled plan diagram
  • A waste table and the material take-off

Everything in a report · how a report is made: you pin the roof and see the imagery, our team traces it, the software calculates, and it is reviewed before release. Reports are delivered in 1–3 hours, and usually in under an hour.

Metric or imperial

Switch any report to square metres and metres in the viewer; the choice is saved on that report and carries into the PDFs. Reports open in imperial. Roofing squares and bundles stay as ordering units.
