Shingle roofs are a popular choice for many homeowners due to their affordability, durability, and versatility.
Asphalt shingles perform well in extreme temperatures and in areas where wind, water, and ice are prevalent.
Asphalt shingles and installation are a fraction of the cost of other roofing materials.
Asphalt shingles require little or no regular upkeep, and they are easily repaired if they get damaged.
Shingles come in a wide range of colors, textures, and styles, allowing homeowners to match their roof with their home’s aesthetic.
Certain shingle types, such as reflective or cool shingles, help reduce heat absorption, keeping homes cooler in the summer and improving energy efficiency.
Many asphalt shingles, especially Class A-rated shingles, offer excellent fire resistance, providing an extra layer of safety for your home.
In the Greater Toronto Area, a well-installed and properly maintained asphalt shingle roof can last 20 to 30 years. Factors like the type of shingles, weather conditions, and maintenance all play a role in how long your roof will hold up. Architectural shingles or premium-grade materials can last even longer, sometimes up to 50 years with regular care.
Ontario's climate—cold winters, heavy snow, and hot summers—can put extra stress on your roof. That’s why it’s important to schedule regular inspections, clear away debris, and replace any damaged shingles as soon as possible. Proper maintenance can help extend the life of your roof and protect your home from leaks and other damage.
Yes! Asphalt shingles are one of the most popular roofing choices in the GTA and the surrounding areas because they offer a great balance of affordability, durability, and style. They come in a wide range of colors and textures, making it easy to find a design that complements your home’s exterior.
Shingle roofs also perform well in Ontario’s diverse climate, handling everything from heavy snowfall to summer heat. If you want extra protection, we can recommend impact-resistant or high-wind-rated shingles to keep your home safe during extreme weather.
Yes, but not all shingles provide the same level of fire protection. If fire resistance is a priority, we recommend Class A asphalt shingles, which are made with a fiberglass backing for superior flame resistance. These shingles help slow down the spread of fire, offering an extra layer of safety for your home.
If you live in an area where fire safety is a concern, it’s also a good idea to install a fire-resistant underlayment beneath your shingles. Our team at Alps Roofing can help you choose the best fire-rated materials to ensure your roof meets the highest safety standards.
Shingle roofs require regular maintenance to stay in good shape, especially in Toronto’s climate. We recommend inspecting your roof twice a year—once in the spring after winter snow and ice have melted, and again in the fall before the harsh winter arrives. Look for signs of damage like missing, curled, or cracked shingles and have them replaced promptly.
Keeping gutters clean is also crucial. Clogged gutters can lead to water buildup and ice dams in the winter, which can cause leaks and structural damage. If you’re unsure about your roof’s condition, Alps Roofing offers professional inspections and maintenance services to keep your home protected year-round.
Yes! Many modern asphalt shingles are designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat, helping to keep your home cooler in the summer. If energy efficiency is a priority, we can install cool roof shingles, which reduce heat buildup and can lower your air conditioning costs. Some of these shingles are Energy Star® rated, meaning they meet high efficiency standards.
In addition to choosing the right shingles, proper attic insulation and ventilation play a big role in keeping your home energy-efficient. A well-ventilated attic allows hot air to escape in the summer and prevents heat loss in the winter, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and lower energy bills. If you’re considering a new roof, we can help you choose materials that maximize efficiency and comfort.
If you notice a few missing or damaged shingles, it’s important to address the issue quickly to prevent leaks and further damage. In many cases, individual shingles can be replaced without the need for a full roof replacement. A quick repair can save you money and help extend the life of your roof.
However, if the damage is extensive or if your roof is already near the end of its lifespan, a full replacement may be a better long-term investment. At Alps Roofing, we offer free roof inspections to assess the condition of your shingles and recommend the best solution for your home.
