Asphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing material for homes across Oshawa and Durham Region, and for good reason. They offer an unmatched combination of affordability, aesthetic versatility, and proven protection against Ontario's demanding climate. Whether you are building a new home, replacing an aging roof, or upgrading your current shingles, our team delivers expert asphalt shingle installation with attention to every detail.
At Oshawa Roofers, we work with homeowners throughout Oshawa, Whitby, Courtice, Bowmanville, and the surrounding Durham Region communities. Every shingle roof we install follows manufacturer specifications and Ontario Building Code requirements, ensuring your investment is protected by both our workmanship guarantee and the manufacturer's warranty.
Choosing the right shingle depends on your budget, home style, and the level of protection you need. We install three main categories of asphalt shingles, each suited to different goals.
The classic, budget-friendly option. 3-tab shingles provide a clean, flat appearance and reliable weather protection. They are the most economical choice for Oshawa homeowners who need a dependable roof without the higher cost of premium products.
Lifespan: 15-20 YearsThe most popular choice in Durham Region. Architectural shingles feature a layered, textured profile that adds depth and visual interest to your roof. They offer superior wind resistance, longer warranties, and better performance in heavy snow and ice conditions.
Lifespan: 25-30 YearsFor homeowners who want a high-end look, designer shingles replicate the appearance of cedar shake, slate, or tile at a fraction of the weight and cost. These premium options deliver exceptional curb appeal along with top-tier durability and the longest warranties available.
Lifespan: 30-50 YearsAsphalt shingles have earned their place as the leading roofing material in Ontario for several key reasons that matter to Oshawa homeowners.
Lowest cost per square foot of any roofing material, making quality roofing accessible for every budget.
Dozens of colors, blends, and textures to complement any home style in Oshawa and Durham Region.
Engineered to resist wind uplift, ice damming, and thermal cycling through Ontario's harshest seasons.
Individual damaged shingles can be replaced quickly and affordably without touching the rest of the roof.
We install asphalt shingles from leading North American manufacturers including IKO, GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. Each brand offers a range of warranty options, from standard limited warranties on 3-tab products to lifetime limited warranties on their architectural and designer lines. As a certified installer, we ensure every roof we complete meets the manufacturer's installation specifications, which is essential for keeping your warranty valid.
Our team will walk you through the warranty differences so you understand exactly what coverage your new shingle roof carries, including protection against manufacturing defects, wind damage, and algae discoloration.
A properly installed asphalt shingle roof is a system of components working together. Here is how we approach every shingle replacement and new installation in Oshawa.
We assess your existing roof, measure accurately, check the decking condition, and help you choose the right shingle type and color for your home and budget.
We remove old roofing materials down to the deck, inspect for rot or damage, and repair or replace any compromised sheathing before proceeding.
Ice and water shield is applied along eaves, valleys, and vulnerable areas. Synthetic underlayment covers the entire deck as a secondary moisture barrier.
Shingles are installed following the manufacturer's nailing pattern and exposure specifications. Starter strips, drip edges, and proper ventilation components are all included.
Metal flashing is sealed around chimneys, vents, and walls. Ridge caps are installed at peaks. We clean the job site thoroughly and run a magnetic sweep for nails.
In Oshawa and Durham Region, the lifespan of your asphalt shingle roof depends on the product quality, installation technique, and how well the roof is maintained. Architectural shingles typically last 25 to 30 years in our climate, while 3-tab shingles average 15 to 20 years. Premium designer shingles can last 30 years or more with proper care.
