Types of Shingle Roofing (Toronto)

  • Asphalt (regular): 3‑tab, architectural/laminated, and premium lines. Higher tiers add weight, wind rating, algae resistance, and longer warranties.
  • Cedar shingles & shakes: Machine‑cut shingles vs. hand‑split shakes; white cedar vs. western red cedar. Beautiful, but needs good ventilation and maintenance.
  • Slate shingles: Natural or synthetic (composite) slate with different thickness grades. Very long life; natural slate is heavy and needs structural review.
  • Metal shingles: Interlocking steel or aluminum, including stone‑coated options. Multiple profiles that mimic shake/slate; coatings (e.g., PVDF) affect durability.
  • Rubber / synthetic shingles: Rubber or polymer blends that imitate slate/wood, high impact resistance. Quality varies—look for recognized approvals and warranties.

Each shingle type comes in several variants and quality tiers. We bring samples and compare options so you get the right look, lifespan, and price for your roof.

Shingle Roofing in Toronto — FAQ

Do you recommend a second layer over old shingles?
We recommend a full tear‑off so we can fix soft plywood, apply ice‑water shield, and re‑flash penetrations. Layovers often hide rot and shorten life.
Can you install shingles in winter?
Yes, with cold‑weather handling and sealing practices. We schedule around wind and protect the roof if the weather shifts.
How many nails per shingle?
We follow the manufacturer pattern (typically 4–6 nails) and use nail guns set to depth—no staples.
Do you upgrade ventilation?
We size intake and exhaust to the attic volume and layout, adding vents or a ridge vent where needed.
