We Install the Best Asphalt Roofing Shingles on the Market

Something for Everyone

The final part of a quality roofing system, asphalt roofing shingles come with different warranties and in different designs and colours.

Shingle manufacturers all make competitive products but there are variations in price and the suitability of the shingles for various applications.

As with all other elements of your roofing system, the choice depends on your needs and your budget, which we will discuss with you in further detail when we meet.

A Great Job Starts with Starter Shingles

Starter shingles, or a starter strip, have several important functions:

Provide added wind resistance to the shingles on the eave of your roof
Help direct water run-off away from the roof
Ensure a straight start to the rest of the shingling

Proper installation is vital to a quality job and to reduce the chance of wind-created roof failure.

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

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!
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.
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.
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.
Shingle installation instructions vary slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer. They must be followed exactly to protect the homeowner’s warranty.
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.
