Why Choose Architectural Shingles For Your Roof

When it comes to roof construction, we at DM Roofing understand that the huge range of choices available can be overwhelming. You will need to take into account the roof style, required functionality, and, of course, your budget when deciding on the best materials for your roof.

Also known as dimensional or laminated shingles, architectural shingles are a type of laminated roofing shingle designed to create a point of interest while offering superior functionality. These shingles are traditionally made of a combination of a heavy fibreglass mat base, water-resistant asphalt, and embedded ceramic-coated mineral granules.

Using architectural shingles for your roof offers a number of benefits.

Increased Home Value

With stunning aesthetics and superior functionality, architectural shingles can greatly improve the value of your home. This is great news for anyone looking to sell or interested in selling in the future.

Exceptional Durability of Architectural Shingles

The unique design and texture of architectural shingles result in a roof that is sturdier and more robust. This added strength means that you will not need to worry about extra support measures during home maintenance.

Better Wind Resistance

The unique design of architectural shingles results in significantly higher wind resistance. Architectural shingle roofs can withstand more than double the wind speed of other roofs, making your structure considerably less vulnerable to extreme weather.

Snow Load Protection

Architectural shingles are designed to withstand even the harshest weather conditions. The shingles are designed to be thicker than other roofing materials, offering better protection from snow loads. Being less vulnerable during snowy weather is always welcome in Canada.

Cost Savings

Architectural shingles can be a costly investment initially. However, the added durability and sturdiness make them a fantastic long-term investment. You will spend less money maintaining your architectural shingle roof and carry out considerably fewer repairs, saving you money in the long term.

Customizable

When you opt for architectural shingles for your roof, you get to choose from a huge variety of textures and colours. You have complete control, allowing you to install a roof that is entirely personalized to suit your home’s aesthetic and your unique tastes.

My husband and I bought a fixer-upper a few years ago knowing that the roof would need to be replaced sooner rather than later. We approached several companies for quotes in January/February to re-shingle the roof and put plywood down underneath. We contacted DM Roofing, who was recommended to me by several co-workers. We chose DM Roofing for a number of reasons: 1. Their competitive quote 2. The timeline they could get the work done (far and away the best timeline of anyone we reached out to) 3. Friendliness 4. Prompt and professional responses Darren was able to cut me a deal on the shingles and plywood and gave me a further discount on the remaining unused shingles, which we are planning to use for our shed. The actual work was really well done. Everyone I spoke to on site were very nice and considerate of our property. They finished most of the work by the time I got home and returned the second day only because they ran out of cap for the edges. After the work was done, we asked them to cut out an area for a plumbing vent (for a future project), which they did for us with no issue. I really appreciated every step of the process with Darren and his team. I would recommend them to anyone.

I was unfortunately behind one of their work trucks and if they do roofs the way they drive I’d never hire them.

John Karagianis

Excellent roofing service. Honest, efficient, cost effective, knowledgable and highly professional. I have nothing but praise for my new roof, and the cost matched their initial quote. This is the second time I have used their services. Impressed both times.

Myra Lee

I had a good enough experience with DM Roofing in terms of the initial sales and installation experience. However, trying to get them to come back to fix small issues was like pulling teeth. It feels like some jobs are too small for them to bother with, which is disappointing.

DM Roofing installed our Shingles 18 yrs ago and did a super job. Recently I had a concern about the roof after the last snow, wind, and warm weather. Called Darren , he came, inspected the roof and Assured me that everything would be ok after a few adjustments and I followed up with his recommendations. This is in the process of being done. Thanks Darren.
