Only Quality Asphalt Roofing Shingles Will Do

Over the years we have installed asphalt shingles from most manufacturers and have found that our clients’ needs and budgets can be met with shingles from IKO, GAF, and Malarkey. We always use fiberglass-laminated shingles as they outperform the traditional, organic asphalt shingles.

Sometimes we are asked to install a budget 3-tab shingle but we feel this will compromise the quality and lifetime of your roofing system. In fact, this view is shared by manufacturers, some of which are discontinuing their production of 3-tab shingles.

Why Choose Asphalt Roofing Shingles?

Design Choice

Asphalt roofing shingles offer you the widest choice of colours, shapes, and textures. The options are continually expanding. Asphalt shingles can have the appearance of much more expensive shake or tile roofs.

Asphalt shingles are a perfect choice for homeowners that don’t like the weathered look of shakes, the bulkiness of tiles, or the industrial look of metal.

Affordability

Shake, tile, and metal roofs are very expensive, up to three or four times the cost of a high-quality asphalt shingle. Asphalt shingles can provide similar looks for a fraction of the price.

Quality

Asphalt roofing shingles have come a long way. For many years, they were considered an inferior choice to shake or tile roofs. But advancements in asphalt shingle manufacturing have changed this situation. Most manufacturers offer asphalt shingles that can outlast a tile or shake roof, with up to a 50-year warranty.

Fire & Wind Resistance

Asphalt roofing shingles are all manufactured to be fire-resistant. In addition, with proper installation some asphalt shingles can protect your home against winds up to 210 km per hour.

Roofers were quick & courteous, property cleaned up very well. I would rate the customer service as excellent.
L. Hulme, Calgary Homeowner
The whole process was a pleasure…The young men who dropped off the roofing materials first thing on Monday morning, on an extremely cold Calgary morning…Right through to the final inspection, receipt of invoice/Guarantee etc. The photos for the quote provided to us by email were very helpful and the photos taken when the work was being done really showed us the problem areas. You’ve got a good ground – everyone was courteous, prompt, and very hardworking. Thanks for getting our work done in a timely and efficient manner.

Quality Tips

A quality contractor should formally inspect every single roof that their company installs. Otherwise, poor workmanship will go undetected, leading to long-term problems.
Using a course of starter shingles up and down both sides of an open valley can insure that the valley is 100% leak proof.
Shingle installation instructions vary slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer. They must be followed exactly to protect the homeowner’s warranty.
Roofing is considered a “Skilled Trade” by the Government of Canada. Everyone on the roof should have a minimum of internal Certification to a maximum of Journeyman training.
To avoid leaks around roof penetrations use a “Back Pan” shingle over the back of the penetration, but under the main shingle course.
Only tear-off as much old roof area as can be replaced or at least waterproofed with underlayment in one day. Calgary has volatile weather and you never know!
Although it is not required, it is strongly recommended that, in high snow areas, ice dam protection is used on roof pitches of 5/12 and under.
Nailing the shingle at both the nailing line and at the top of the shingle, on the roof gables, will prevent the wind from lifting up the shingle.
Using a course of starter shingles up and down both sides of an open valley can insure that the valley is 100% leak proof.
