Roof Types

Shingle Roofs

Asphalt shingles are the most popular choice for residential roofing in Canada—and it’s easy to see why. They combine dependable performance, versatile design options, and great value, making them a smart investment for homeowners.

Made from a fiberglass or organic base, asphalt shingles are coated with asphalt for waterproofing and finished with ceramic granules that add color and protect against UV damage. Their overlapping design allows water to shed efficiently, providing reliable protection against rain, wind, and changing weather conditions common in the Fraser Valley.

Benefits of Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Asphalt shingles are a popular roofing choice for good reason—they offer a reliable, cost-effective solution without sacrificing style or durability. Whether you're upgrading your current roof or building a new home, here’s why asphalt shingle roofing is a smart investment:

Affordability
Asphalt shingles are one of the most budget-friendly roofing options on the market, offering excellent value while still delivering strong performance and curb appeal.
Durable Protection
Designed to withstand wind, rain, moisture, and UV exposure, quality asphalt shingles can last 20 to 30 years or more—making them a dependable choice for the Fraser Valley’s changing climate.
Style Versatility
Available in a wide range of colors, textures, and profiles, asphalt shingles can be customized to suit almost any home style—from classic and rustic to clean and modern.
Quick & Efficient Installation
Compared to other roofing systems, asphalt shingles are quicker to install, which helps reduce labor time and associated costs.
Low Maintenance
These roofs are easy to maintain and repair. Individual shingles can be replaced as needed without requiring a full roof replacement, keeping long-term upkeep simple and affordable.
Sound Insulation
The layered structure of asphalt shingles helps dampen external noise, contributing to a quieter and more comfortable indoor environment.

Benefits of Metal Roofs

Metal roofing is a durable, long-lasting solution that offers exceptional performance and energy efficiency. Whether for residential or commercial properties, metal roofs provide protection you can count on for decades. Here’s why they’re a top choice:

Exceptional Longevity
Metal roofs can last 50 years or more with minimal maintenance—far outlasting traditional roofing materials.
Superior Durability
Built to withstand harsh weather, metal roofing resists wind, rain, snow, and even fire, making it ideal for the Fraser Valley’s variable climate.
Energy Efficiency
Metal reflects solar heat, helping to reduce cooling costs in warmer months. Many systems also feature insulated panels for added energy savings.
Low Maintenance
Metal roofs require very little upkeep and are resistant to mold, mildew, and pests. Repairs are rare, and full replacements are seldom needed.
Eco-Friendly
Often made from recycled materials and fully recyclable at the end of their lifespan, metal roofing is a sustainable, environmentally responsible choice.
Modern Aesthetic Options
Available in a variety of profiles, colors, and finishes, metal roofing can complement both traditional and contemporary architectural styles.

Flat Roofs

Flat roofs are a popular choice for commercial buildings and are increasingly being used in modern residential construction. While they offer a sleek, contemporary look and practical benefits, it’s important to consider your local climate before choosing

a flat roof—especially in regions with heavy rainfall or snowfall, where water drainage is a concern.

Despite that, flat roofs continue to grow in popularity thanks to their cost-effectiveness, low maintenance needs, and modern appeal.

Benefits of Metal Roofs

Energy Efficiency
Flat roofs are typically made with reflective, energy-efficient materials that help regulate indoor temperatures and reduce cooling costs—especially valuable for large commercial spaces.
Low Maintenance
With fewer components and minimal slope, flat roofs are easier to access and maintain. Most flat roofing systems require less upkeep than sloped alternatives.
Wind Resistance
The flat design offers less surface area for wind to catch, reducing the risk of storm damage compared to pitched roofs.
Fire Resistance
Common flat roofing materials like TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen are known for their fire-resistant properties, contributing to greater building safety.
Modern Aesthetic & Usable Space
Flat roofs complement contemporary architecture and can offer usable space for HVAC systems, solar panels, or rooftop patios in residential designs.

Low Slope Roofing for Modern Homes and Buildings

Low slope roofing offers a distinct architectural style that combines a clean, modern look with practical benefits. Commonly found on both residential and commercial properties, low slope roofs have a gentle pitch that requires specific materials and installation techniques for optimal performance.

While they may require more attention to drainage and maintenance than steeper roofs, low slope systems can be a smart, stylish, and highly functional option when installed correctly.

Benefits of Low Slope Roofing

Modern Curb Appeal
The sleek, minimalist appearance of low slope roofs complements contemporary home and building designs.
Cost-Effective Installation
With less surface area and easier access for roofers, low slope systems can reduce both material and labor costs.
Efficient Use of Space
The design allows for easier placement of HVAC units, solar panels, or even rooftop decks—especially useful in urban or commercial settings.
Easier Access for Maintenance
The gentle slope makes it safer and more convenient to inspect or maintain the roof compared to steep-pitched systems.
Compatible with Flat Roof Materials
Low slope roofs often use the same durable, waterproof materials as flat roofs (like TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen), offering strong resistance to weather and fire.
