Cutting Harbor Blue 3-Tab Shingles

When choosing a roofing material it really comes down to personal preference. However, if you were to compare all the options side-by-side and weigh the benefits and drawbacks of each material, asphalt shingles win by a long shot.

With their excellent protection against our Canadian winters, their durability, the ease with which they can be installed and repaired, the endless colors and designs options, plus the excellent warranty coverage, and to top it off, the most economical and affordable roofing material… It’s no secret why asphalt shingles are the number one roofing material choice for all homeowners.

Besides these common roof surface materials, there are other materials used to varying degrees for roofing. These include thatched roofs, bitumen blended with plastic or rubber, fiber-cement roofing, polyurethane foam, membrane roofs such as thermoplastics, and others.

While rubber is vulnerable to punctures, the material is relatively easy to repair. However, rubber roofing can be expensive, and many people agree it doesn’t have the same natural appeal and appearance as some of the other options. So if aesthetics are important to you, rubber might not be the right fit.
