What We Do

Asphalt Shingle Roofing in London, Ontario

The most common roof in the city, installed to the manufacturer's spec.

Built for London

Asphalt Shingle Roofing in London: Installed for the Climate

London sits in the snowbelt's southern edge and gets real winters, humid summers and strong spring winds. Asphalt shingles handle all of it, but only when the details underneath are right.

That means ice and water shield at the eaves, a synthetic underlayment, the manufacturer's nail pattern, and enough attic ventilation that summer heat does not cook the shingles from below.

You choose the shingle line and colour, and the written scope lists every layer so you can compare it line by line with any other quote.

Common Questions

Asphalt Shingle Roofing — Frequently Asked Questions

How much do asphalt shingles cost per square foot in Ontario?
Published 2026 Ontario ranges put installed architectural shingles at roughly $5.50 to $8.50 per square foot, with 3-tab a little lower and designer shingles higher. Pitch, access and tear-off move the number, so a written quote is the real answer for your roof.
How long do asphalt shingles last in London, Ontario?
Architectural shingles typically last 20 to 30 years here when installed with proper ventilation. Poor attic ventilation is the usual reason a roof fails early, because heat and moisture cook the shingles from underneath.
What is the difference between 3-tab and architectural shingles?
3-tab shingles are a single flat layer with cut-outs; architectural shingles are laminated, thicker, heavier and rated for higher wind. Most London replacements use architectural shingles because the added cost is small and the lifespan is longer.
How long does a shingle roof take to install?
A typical London home is torn off and reshingled in one to two working days. Weather is the main variable; shingles are not installed in rain or in deep cold.
Do new shingles need a warm day to seal?
Yes. The adhesive strip on each shingle seals with sun and warmth, so installs are scheduled for mild weather. In cooler shoulder seasons, shingles can be hand-sealed where needed.
