Who We Are
About Roof Bros
A small, owner-run crew that builds exteriors to the manufacturer's spec, not to whatever is fastest.
Our Company
New to Calgary. Not new to the craft.
Roof Bros is a small, owner-run company that's proudly served Alberta homeowners for the past three years. The experience behind it runs deeper: our founder has spent over a decade in roofing, siding and exteriors — trained under European trade standards — and brings that same precise, hands-on discipline to every Alberta home. No call centre, no big-box sales team — just a local crew that treats your house like our own.
Where we work
We Live in the Weather We Build For
Airdrie sits on open prairie north of Calgary, with little between it and the mountains to slow the wind. In midwinter a chinook can push the temperature above freezing in an afternoon, and snow that melts off a roof at two o’clock is ice in the eavestrough by nine. In midsummer a hailstorm crosses a neighbourhood in twenty minutes and leaves half a street needing new siding.
That is the weather our own houses stand in. We are based in Airdrie; some of the crew lives here, the rest across the north and south ends of Calgary, and we meet at the job. So when we talk about what a wall has to survive out here, we are describing what we watch happen every year, on our own street as much as on yours.
Why exteriors
Why We Chose the Outside of the House
A house is judged from the sidewalk. The roof and the walls are the first thing anyone sees and the last thing anyone thinks about until something goes wrong. They are also the two places where money quietly gets saved on the wrong things. That is what pulled us outside rather than to the trades that finish the inside.
The company has been working in Alberta since 2022. Behind it is more than a decade of the owner’s own time in the trade, in Ukraine, then in Europe, and now here, including seminars run in Ukraine by European manufacturers, at their own branches and with their own material, where exterior detailing is taught to a tighter tolerance than this market expects. What came out of that is a habit easy to say and hard to keep: you finish a wall, step back to the road, and either you like looking at it or you do not.
You can make good money on a job and drive away unsatisfied. You can make less, finish a house, look back at it from the road, and be glad it is standing there with your name on it. We would rather work the second way. It is the same reason we care about the corner nobody photographs: whoever is careful with the small things is careful with the large ones.
How we look at a house
A Wall Is More Than the Board on the Front of It
When we walk a house for a measure, the cladding is not the first thing we look at. We look at where things meet: the corner where two elevations come together, the head of a window, the line where the wall stops and the roof begins, the spot where a downspout puts its water. Almost every exterior failure we are called out to started at one of those joints, not in the middle of a panel.
That is why we would rather look at the outside of a house as one thing than as six unrelated jobs. Siding is the visible layer, and under it sit the weather barrier, the tape and the flashing that actually keep water out. Fibre cement and vinyl behave differently in cold and under hail, and one of them is right for your house and for how long you plan to own it. Soffit and fascia decide whether the roof can breathe. Eavestroughs decide where a winter of meltwater ends up. Metal and asphalt shingle roofing sit over all of it.
Decisions in one of those areas are cheaper made next to the others. Re-siding a house and finding out next spring that the eavestrough was undersized for the roof above it is common, and avoidable. It is why we look at all of it on the first visit.
A day on your house
What Actually Happens, in Order
Most people have never had the outside of their house taken off. Told as one stretch of work, it goes like this.
1
We arrive and walk the house
We measure the walls, look at the condition of what is on them now, and check the things that change the work rather than the material: how tall the elevations are, how tight the lot is, whether there is a walkout at the back. Soffit, fascia and eavestroughs get looked at on the same visit, because those decisions cost less made together.
2
You get a fixed written price
The scope written out line by line: material and profile, trim, tear-off, disposal, an allowance for repair to what is underneath, weather barrier, access and cleanup. The measure costs nothing, and the number does not move afterwards unless you change what you asked for. You also get a project schedule, and if weather, materials or something we find on the wall moves it, you hear about it.
3
The old layer comes off
We do not put new cladding over old cladding, and we do not put metal roofing over old shingles. Going over the old layer is faster on the day, and it means nobody looks at the sheathing or the deck underneath, which is the part most worth seeing while it is open.
4
You see what was under it
With the wall or the deck open, you get photographs of anything we find, the day we find it. Rot, a soft sheet, a flashing detail somebody skipped: you hear about it before it is covered again, at the rate already written into the quote, not a number invented on the spot.
5
It goes back together to the manufacturer's spec
Fastener schedule, joint treatment and clearances follow the manufacturer’s published instructions rather than preference or habit, and sealant goes where sealant belongs rather than where flashing should be doing the work. Nobody sees this part once the job is finished, and it decides how the wall ages.
6
We clean up and walk it with you
Offcuts and packaging leave the same day, the yard and driveway get a magnet sweep for fasteners, and we walk around the house with you before anybody calls it done. The work is checked at each stage, not only at handover.
Where we stand
What We Promise, and What We Will Not Do
One of these lists is easy to write. The other is why the first is worth anything.
What you get from us
- A fixed written price after an on-site measure, with the scope written out line by line
- Our own crew of about twenty, who work only for us
- Photographs as the job goes, including whatever turns up behind the old cladding
- The old layer taken off first, on walls and roofs, so the sheathing and deck can be seen
- Manufacturer’s installation instructions followed on the parts that get covered up
- The site left clean each day, and a walk-through with you at the end
What we will not do
- We do not start work on a price given over the phone or off a photograph
- We do not lay new material over an old layer to save time
- We do not add to the number partway through for work that was foreseeable at the measure
- We do not raise a price because somebody has water coming in and no time to shop around
- We do not hand your house to a crew you have never met
- We do not leave sealant doing a job that flashing is supposed to do
The fourth line on the right is the one we feel hardest about. Water coming through a ceiling is the moment a homeowner has the least leverage they will ever have, and some contractors price for exactly that moment. We would rather be the company you call again in five years.
Our service area
From Cochrane to Chestermere, Crossfield to Okotoks
Airdrie is home and Calgary is most of the work. Beyond those we go out to Cochrane, Chestermere, Okotoks, Crossfield and High River: seven communities, close enough that the same crew is on your house from the first day to the last. We answer Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, at 825 935 9104.
If You Want Someone to Come and Look
That is us. If the outside of your house is due, tell us what you are thinking about and we will come and look at it. No charge for the visit, and a straight answer about what we would put on the house if it were ours, including when that answer is the cheaper material.
FAQ
Questions People Ask About the Company
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Roof Bros Canada is licensed, WCB-covered and insured, and a clearance letter is available on request before any work starts. Ask us for it, and ask any contractor you are comparing us against for it too. A crew working on your house without coverage is a risk that lands on the homeowner, and one email rules it out.
Who will be at my house, and is it the same people throughout?
The same faces from the first day to the last, and the owner is on every job rather than only at the quote. We are a crew of about twenty and we run a small number of jobs at a time rather than opening everything at once. You will not get one team for tear-off, another for installation, and a stranger at the walk-through.
What does the 10-year workmanship warranty cover?
It covers our installation, as distinct from the material. Products carry their own manufacturer warranties, and we hand you that documentation rather than paraphrasing it for you. If something we installed fails because of the way it was installed, we come back and put it right. Ask at the measure and we will walk you through both.
Do you subcontract any of the work?
No. Every crew on your house works for us and only for us, and there are about twenty of them. That is why we can promise the same people from start to finish, and why a question you ask on day one is answered by somebody who is still on your roof on day six. Subcontracted trades are where accountability quietly goes missing.
How do you work out the price?
On site, by measuring. We walk the exterior, measure the actual wall or roof area, count the corners and the openings, look at access and at the condition of what is there now, then write the scope out line by line. The visit is free. The number is fixed, and it changes only if you change what you asked for.
How quickly will you get back to me?
Within two hours during working hours, and usually sooner. If you write in the evening or on the weekend you get a note saying so, and a real answer within two hours of the next working day. We are reachable Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The measure itself is booked at a time that suits you, not at a time that suits us.
Who runs the company
Anton Pohrebnyi, Owner
My name is Anton. I own Roof Bros Canada, and for twelve years now my working life has been spent on the outside of houses — on roofs, on walls, and on the small joints where the two meet and where most of the trouble starts.
I did not come to this by accident. I learned the trade at seminars run in Ukraine by European manufacturers, at their own branches and on their own material, where a corner, a flashing, an overlap is expected to be right to the millimetre and not roughly right. I worked in Europe after that. When I came to Alberta I found the same houses, harder weather, and a looser habit about detail — and I decided to keep the habit I had been taught.
That is why the company stayed small on purpose. I know every house we work on and I know the people who show up to it, and nothing is handed off to a subtrade who will never see the place again. If something is wrong, you call me — not an office, not a call centre. It is also why I am comfortable putting a ten-year workmanship warranty in writing: I am the one who has to honour it.
Past that, I am simply a neighbour here. My own house stands in the same wind, the same chinooks and the same hail as yours. So when we talk about what a wall has to survive in Airdrie, I am not reading it off a brochure.
