SHINGLE ROOFS

Shingle roofs are the most popular choice for Montreal residential homes that have a sloped roof.  They come in a variety of colours to compliment the design of each individual home.  Asphalte shingles are installed by overlapping the shingles in rows in order to allow the water and elements to roll off of the roof.  They are relatively easy to install compared to some other roofing solutions and any problems arising can often be seen and dealt with much easier then roofs that are done with tar and gravel.  Some problems that arise from fixing shingle roofs is that the shingles tend to fade in the sun over time, therefore making it impossible to perfectly match the shingle colour.  This can become unsightly for those who take great pride in their homes aesthetic appeal.  Asphalte shingle roofs are also relatively lightweight material and can be at the mercy of the weather, often blowing off in the wind, curling from the sun, developing moss or even having debris stuck under them, causing them to lift and in turn leak.  It is best to have regular maintenance done on your shingle roof in order to lengthen the life of your shingle roof.  For a solution to these issues with asphalte shingles, visit our specialty roofing section.
