Get a Free Shingle EstimateAsphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing material for homeowners in London, Ontario, and for good reason.

Not all asphalt shingles are the same. Understanding the differences helps you make the right investment for your London home. We install three main categories, each offering distinct advantages.
The classic, economical choice. 3-tab shingles feature a flat, uniform appearance with a single layer of material. They are lightweight, easy to install, and provide reliable protection for budget-conscious homeowners.
Most Affordable Option
The most popular choice among London homeowners. These multi-layered shingles create a textured, three-dimensional look that mimics natural slate or wood shake. They are thicker, heavier, and far more durable than 3-tab options.
Best Value for Homeowners
Premium shingles engineered to replicate the appearance of high-end roofing materials like natural slate, cedar shake, or old-world tile. They deliver maximum curb appeal with the practical benefits of asphalt construction.
Premium Investment
We are certified installers for North America's leading shingle manufacturers, including IKO, GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and BP Canada. Each brand offers distinct warranty programs, colour palettes, and performance characteristics. During your free consultation, we will help you compare options and select the brand that best suits your needs.
Shingle colour affects more than just appearance. Lighter shades reflect solar heat and can reduce cooling costs during London's warm summers, while darker tones absorb heat, which some homeowners prefer during the long heating season. We help you consider your home's exterior colours, the neighbourhood aesthetic, and energy efficiency goals when selecting your shingles.
Popular colour choices for London homes include weathered wood, charcoal, driftwood, and dual-tone blends that add visual depth. If you are unsure, we can bring full-size samples to your property so you can see exactly how each option looks against your siding, brick, and trim before making a commitment.
There are many reasons why the vast majority of homes in London, Ontario feature asphalt shingle roofs. Here is what makes them such a smart choice for our climate.
A quality shingle roof starts with proper installation technique. Cutting corners during installation leads to premature failure, leaks, and voided warranties. Here is how we approach every roof installation project in London.
We examine your existing roof, measure the surface area, check the decking condition, assess ventilation, and identify any structural concerns. You receive a detailed, written estimate with no hidden costs.
Choose your shingle type, brand, and colour with guidance from our team. We schedule your installation at a time that works for you and order materials so everything arrives on the right day.
We strip the existing roofing down to the decking, inspect every inch for rot, water damage, and soft spots, and replace any compromised plywood or OSB before proceeding.
We install synthetic underlayment across the entire roof surface and apply ice and water shield membrane along eaves, valleys, and around penetrations, as required by Ontario Building Code for our climate zone.
Shingles are nailed according to manufacturer specifications, with proper staggering, correct nail placement, and precise alignment. All flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and walls is installed or replaced with new materials.
We run magnetic nail sweeps across your property, remove all debris, and perform a detailed final inspection. You walk through the completed project with our foreman to ensure complete satisfaction.
Knowing when your roof needs replacement versus a simple repair can save you money and prevent interior damage. Watch for these warning signs on your London home.
After severe weather events, storm damage can accelerate the need for replacement. If you notice any of these signs, call us at (226) 212-7268 for a free inspection.
With dozens of roofing contractors operating in the London area, homeowners want to know they are hiring someone trustworthy. Here is what sets us apart.
In London, Ontario, a well-installed 3-tab shingle roof typically lasts 15-20 years, while architectural shingles last 25-30 years. Factors such as attic ventilation, sun exposure, and maintenance habits can influence lifespan. Designer shingles from premium brands can last 30 years or longer with proper care.
The cost depends on your roof size, shingle type, deck condition, and accessibility. For an average-sized London home, you can expect to invest between $8,000 and $15,000 for a full architectural shingle replacement. We provide free, detailed estimates so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
While it is technically possible to add a second layer of shingles in some cases, we generally recommend a full tear-off. Layering over old shingles hides potential deck damage, adds excessive weight to your structure, reduces the new shingles' lifespan, and may void manufacturer warranties. A clean installation provides the best long-term value.
Late spring through early fall offers the best installation conditions in London. Shingles need warm temperatures to properly seal, and our long daylight hours allow efficient work. However, we install roofs year-round when needed, using cold-weather techniques to ensure proper adhesion during winter months.
Yes, we understand that a roof replacement is a significant investment. We offer flexible payment plans and can discuss financing options during your free consultation. Contact us at (226) 212-7268 to learn more about making your new roof affordable.
