New Construction
A Solid Roof Starts on Paper
When you’re building from the ground up, there’s no room for shortcuts – especially on the roof. That’s where we come in. At Crowsnest Roofing, we work with homebuilders, contractors, and homeowners across the Kootenays to install high-quality roofs on new homes, shops, cabins, and more.
Whether you’ve got blueprints in hand or just a vision of your future home, we’re here to help make sure your new build is covered properly – both literally and legally.
Construction Stat
A properly installed new roof can last up to 50 years with the right materials and ventilation, setting your home up for decades of peace of mind.
Collaborating for Success
From Blueprints to Rooflines
We’re not just installers – we’re collaborators. When you bring us your drawings, we help you look at the big picture. We’ll go over your options, helping you choose a roofing style and material that fits your budget, suits the home’s aesthetic, and works with your lot and elevation. If there are any ventilation or slope concerns, we’ll flag them early so you’re not facing surprises later on. We also coordinate closely with your builder or general contractor to make sure our part of the build goes smoothly and fits right into your timeline.
At the end of the day, we’re here to deliver a roof that complements your whole build, not just caps it. Whether you’re building a cabin, a shop, or your forever home, we’ll help you get it done right.
We work with all types of new construction:
- Single-family homes
- Cabins and vacation homes
- Detached garages and shops
- Tiny homes and custom builds
Helpful Advice on Roofing Products

Choosing the right roof is a big decision, and it pays to think long term. We’ll walk you through all the options, but here’s a quick peek at some of the most popular choices for new builds:
- Asphalt Shingles: Still the most common, thanks to affordability and style variety. We use top-tier lines from Malarkey, like the Highlander, Vista, Legacy, and Windsor, for better durability and impact resistance.
- Metal Roofing: A great choice for cabins, shops, and modern homes. Low maintenance, long lifespan, and snow-shedding like no other. We install Duraclad (exposed fastener) and Prolok (hidden fastener) systems in a range of colours and profiles.
- Cedar Shingles or Euroshield: Perfect for heritage-style builds or those wanting something with natural charm and high-end looks. Euroshield is made from recycled tires—ideal for impact resistance and eco-conscious homeowners.
Did You Know?
Metal roofs can reflect up to 70% of solar heat, helping reduce cooling costs in the summer and making them a smart long-term investment in Kootenay homes.
