Shingle Roofing
Shingle Roofs Built for Toronto Weather
Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material on Toronto houses. They suit most pitched roofs, come in a wide range of colours and profiles, and can be repaired a few at a time. A shingle roof is more than the shingles you see from the street, though. How it copes with heavy snow, ice dams and summer storms depends just as much on the layers beneath and the way the attic below is ventilated.
Toronto Roofing & Masonry re-roofs in asphalt shingles and repairs existing shingle roofs. A re-roof includes underlayment across the deck, ice and water protection at the eaves and valleys, new flashings and ventilation that lets the attic breathe. For repairs, we replace damaged shingles and look for the reason they failed. In both cases we explain the options that suit your home and provide an estimate for your approval first.
What's included
Shingle Roofing Services We Provide
What the work covers, explained to you before anything starts.
- Re-roofing pitched roofs in asphalt shingles, with the old layers removed down to the deck.
- Replacing missing, torn or curling shingles on an existing roof.
- Laying underlayment over the deck as a second line of defence under the shingles.
- Installing ice and water protection along the eaves and in the valleys.
- Improving attic ventilation at the ridge and soffit to reduce ice dams and moisture.
- Renewing flashings and ridge caps so the roof is sealed at its joints and peaks.

Why choose us
The Way We Handle Shingle Roofs
Attention Below the Shingles
Underlayment, eave protection and flashings decide how well a shingle roof handles ice and meltwater, so they get as much care as the shingles on top.
Attic Ventilation Considered
An attic that cannot breathe overheats shingles in summer and feeds ice dams in winter, so we look at intake and exhaust venting as part of each shingle job.
Repairs That Address the Cause
When shingles keep blowing off or curling early, we look for the reason, such as poor ventilation or nailing, before replacing them.
Shingle Choices Set Out Clearly
Shingles vary in weight, profile and colour. We set out how they differ for a roof of your pitch and style, so you choose knowing what each one offers.

Pricing
What Determines the Cost of a Shingle Roof
A shingle roof estimate is built around these factors:
- The roof area, pitch and number of valleys, dormers and chimneys
- How many old layers need removing and the condition of the deck
- The shingle style you choose
- The underlayment, eave protection and ventilation the roof needs
- Flashing renewal around chimneys, walls and vents
The work
How a Shingle Re-Roof Is Carried Out
The main stages of the job, from the first look to the final check.
Roof and Attic Check
We look at the shingles, flashings, deck and attic ventilation to judge whether a repair or a re-roof suits your roof.
Your Estimate
You receive an estimate setting out the work, the shingle options discussed and the details included, before anything begins.
Tear-Off and Re-Roof
Old shingles are stripped, the deck is repaired where needed, then the underlayment, eave protection, flashings, shingles and ridge are installed.
Clean-Up and Review
Old material and nails are cleared from the site, then we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.
