Shingle roofing in Longueuil

Shingle roofing is popular in regions where weather conditions can become extreme. They resist severe weather and offer excellent thermal insulation. They bring a rustic, elegant style to the building. Are you interested in this option? Then find out more about it.

What is shingle roofing?

This is a type of roofing made up of small slats fixed to a flat surface. These are called shingles. They are generally made of pine, spruce or cedar. These materials are appreciated for their ecological and warm appeal. What’s more, they age well and provide good insulation. However, shingles are also available in asphalt, slate, metal or composite materials. Composite material is the most resistant. It’s made from an alloy of several elements, such as resin, fiberglass or recycled materials. Shingle roofing is an interesting option for an area like Longueuil. Its only major drawback is its sometimes high cost. But it all depends on the material you choose.

Shingle roof installation

Many people will tell you that shingles are easy to install. In theory, yes. The practice is quite different. Here are the steps to follow:

  • Preparing the site. This includes the installation of sheathing and a waterproofing underlay. This will prevent water infiltration if any shingles become damaged.
  • Installing the shingles. Start at the edge of the roof, ensuring that the boards are aligned. Here, precision is essential to ensure that rainwater runs off without leaks. Shingles are usually fastened with nails or screws.
  • Install finishing elements: edges, ridges and flashings.

Safety measures must also be taken to prevent falls from heights. Install scaffolding. Use appropriate equipment. That’s why you should always entrust the installation of a shingle roof to professionals.

Shingle roof maintenance

Shingle roofing requires regular maintenance. This is true of all types of roofing. You should have your roof inspected at least once a year. The professional will check that it’s in good condition and suggest solutions if necessary. It should also be cleaned regularly to preserve its appearance:

  • Remove foam and any dirt.
  • Snow and ice removal in winter.

Finally, damaged parts must be repaired as soon as possible. Problems can get worse if you wait too long. Interventions will then be more costly. In some cases, replacement may be your only option.
