Calgary homeowners of single-family, semi-detached, or duplex homes in good standing on their property tax roll who have replaced their roof after June 1, 2021 or who plan to replace their roof with a certified Class 4 impact-resistant product from now until May 31, 2022 are eligible for the rebate.
Kris Dietrich, Calgary’s Customer Solutions Coordinator in a news release said, “The continued investment into the Resilient Roofing Rebate Program allows eligible homeowners to invest in resilient building materials, lessening the impacts of damage after severe weather events and ultimately saving homeowners from having to replace their roofing after a hail or wind storm hits Calgary.”
The city says homeowners can choose to have their roof replacement completed by a member of the Alberta Allied Roofing Association (AARA) or Alberta Roofing Contractors Association (ARCA) or provide an inspection report from an AARA or ARCA inspector showing compliance with the program.
The city launched the Resilient Roofing Rebate program in June 2021 to help homeowners who were impacted by hail damage in 2020 to upgrade from standard roofing products to more resilient roofing.
The city says homeowners who have proof of 2020 hail damage can still apply for the rebate if they installed Class 4 impact-resistant roofing after June 13, 2020.
The first year of the program will end on May 31, 2022 or when funding is fully allocated, whichever occurs first.
