Why choose an asphalt shingle roof in Montreal?

Basically, the main advantage of an asphalt shingle roof for Montreal residents (in fact, anywhere in Quebec) is that it is an economical option.
Not the most durable, but definitely less expensive than a white roof, for example.
And you can still rest easy for at least 20 years with a proper asphalt shingle installation by a team of certified roofers, of course!
Asphalt shingles are very light so they do not pose any problem to the structure of your roof. Asphalt shingles are available in many colors, which can also be a positive point for many Montrealers who want to match their new roof with the colors of their house.
In short, an affordable and flexible choice for homes and businesses in the greater Montreal area.
Factors that affect the life of your asphalt shingle roof

Continuous water accumulation leads to other damage, such as algae and fungus growth, as well as freeze/thaw cycles during the colder months.
Water and ice can be very hard on your shingle roof, especially in Quebec.
Algae growth and the infernal freeze/thaw cycles definitely have a major impact on the life of your beautiful roof, unfortunately.
A proper installation is essential.
Yes yes, ESSENTIAL!
Major cracks must be avoided at all costs because water will seep in and freeze during the winter.
In addition, your attic must have sufficient ventilation.
If your ventilation is insufficient, the life of your shingles will be affected.
Because of all the reasons mentioned above, most roofing contractors will recommend a sloped or steeply pitched roof to promote drainage.
Asphalt shingles, a long history in Montreal

Asphalt shingles are one of the most popular types of roofing materials in Montreal. They are durable, relatively inexpensive and easy to install. Asphalt shingles have been used on roofs for over a hundred years, and their popularity has only increased.
The history of asphalt shingles begins in the late 1800s. At that time, wood shingles were the most common type of roofing material. However, because they were susceptible to fire and decay, people began looking for alternatives. In 1897, Henry Reynolds obtained a patent for an asphalt-based roofing material, which he called fireproof felt.
This new product was made by coating asbestos fibers with asphalt; it was then rolled into sheets and cut into strips.
Asphalt shingles became increasingly popular in the early 1900s as people realized their benefits. By the mid 1900's they had become the most common type of roofing material in Montreal.
Today, they are still widely used because of their durability, affordability and ease of installation.
