Shingle Roofing Services in Angus, ON
We install and replace asphalt shingle roofs that protect your home and look great for decades.
Why Asphalt Shingles Work for Angus Homes
Asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing choice in Angus for good reason. They handle our winters without cracking, they're affordable, and you've got tons of colour options. Whether you're in town or out toward Barrie, shingle roofs just make sense for most residential properties.
We install architectural shingles (the thicker, dimensional kind) and standard 3-tab shingles. Architectural shingles last longer and look better, but 3-tab works fine if you're on a tighter budget. Both handle snow load and ice damming when installed right. We also work with designer shingles if you want something that mimics slate or wood shake.
A typical shingle roof lasts 20-30 years depending on the product and how well it's ventilated. If your current roof is nearing that age, it's worth getting an inspection before small leaks turn into big problems. We do free assessments and can tell you if you need a full Roof Replacement or just targeted Roof Repair
Our Shingle Installation Process
We don't cut corners. Every shingle roof starts with a full tear-off (unless you've got just one layer and the deck is solid). We inspect the plywood sheathing, replace any soft spots, then lay down ice and water shield in valleys and along eaves. Synthetic underlayment goes over the whole deck. Then we install drip edge, starter strips, and work our way up.
Shingle installation isn't rocket science, but it's easy to mess up. Nails placed too high won't hold. Shingles not staggered right will blow off. We follow manufacturer specs exactly so your warranty stays valid. Most jobs in Angus take 1-3 days depending on size and pitch. We clean up every nail and scrap before we leave.
Shingle Options and What They Cost
Standard architectural shingles run about $350-$450 per square installed (a square is 100 sq ft). That's for mid-range products like Owens Corning Duration or IKO Cambridge. Designer shingles or premium lines cost more, sometimes $500-$600 per square. A typical Angus home is 15-25 squares, so you're looking at $5,000-$11,000 for a straightforward job.
Colour matters more than people think. Darker shingles absorb heat (good in winter, bad in summer). Lighter colours reflect sun and can lower cooling costs. We'll bring samples so you can see how they look against your siding. If you're also thinking about Metal Roofing, we can compare costs and lifespan side by side.
We serve Alliston, Angus, and the surrounding area. If you've got a low-slope section, we might recommend Flat Roofing for that part and shingles for the rest. Every roof is different. We'll walk you through what makes sense for your home and your budget.
When to Replace vs. Repair Your Shingle Roof
If you're missing a few shingles after a windstorm, that's a repair. If you've got curling, granule loss, or shingles that look like cardboard, it's time to replace. We can patch small areas, but if more than 30% of your roof is shot, a full replacement is usually smarter money.
Leaks don't always mean you need a new roof. Sometimes it's just flashing around a chimney or a valley that wasn't sealed right. We'll give you an honest answer. If a repair buys you another 5 years, we'll tell you. If you're throwing good money after bad, we'll tell you that too.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a shingle roof last in Angus?
Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20-25 years here. Architectural shingles can hit 30 years if they're ventilated properly and you keep the gutters clean. Cheap 3-tab shingles might only give you 15-20. Harsh winters and ice damming can shorten lifespan if the roof wasn't installed with proper underlayment and ice shield.
Can you install shingles over my old roof?
Technically yes, but we don't recommend it. Building code allows two layers, but layering hides deck problems, traps moisture, and voids most manufacturer warranties. It also makes your next replacement more expensive because we'll have to tear off two layers. A proper tear-off and fresh start is almost always the better move.
What's the difference between 3-tab and architectural shingles?
3-tab shingles are flat, thin, and have a uniform look. They're cheaper but don't last as long. Architectural shingles (also called dimensional or laminate) are thicker, have a textured look, and come with better warranties. They cost about 20-30% more but they're worth it. Most homeowners in Angus go with architectural for the extra durability and curb appeal.
