Fiberglass shingles, a category of asphalt roofing, represent the most prevalent roofing choice in Canada. Their popularity is attributed to their aesthetic appeal, minimal maintenance needs, and cost-effectiveness. Depending on the specific type of shingle selected, homeowners may also benefit from features such as enhanced wind resistance, impact resistance, and advanced stain-fighting technology, all contributing to a durable and long-lasting roofing solution.
Commonly known as asphalt shingles, these roofing materials comprise more than just asphalt. Their core consists of a woven fiberglass mat that is coated with asphalt. This fiberglass foundation provides two significant advantages: it reduces the quantity of asphalt required during production and results in a lighter shingle while preserving outstanding durability. In comparison to traditional asphalt-only shingles, fiberglass shingles are more environmentally friendly and offer enhanced longevity. The upper layer is composed of ceramic granules, which serve to protect against UV rays while imparting the desired color to the roof.
One of the key benefits of fiberglass shingles is their affordability, making them a cost-effective choice for roofing projects. They come in a variety of styles that replicate the look of slate, wood shake, and other decorative materials, all at a fraction of the cost. This versatility is unparalleled. When considering their lifespan, initial investment, and low maintenance needs, many homeowners agree that fiberglass shingles provide exceptional value. In regions prone to strong winds and hail, choosing fiberglass shingles with advanced features, such as impact resistance, can significantly protect your roof from damage. These impact-resistant shingles enhance durability, allowing your roof to better withstand hail and severe weather conditions.

Jean-Gilles Francoeur2025-03-12 Brayden and his team did a great job on my new roof complete with new flashing everywhere and gutter guards. The job was difficult with a very steep roof but they know what they’re doing! Nice guys and hard workers! Very good communication! N2025-03-04 Brayden is a pleasure to work with. He is prompt and professional. I highly recommend his services Michael Fulton2025-02-25 We had Acres Roofing remove snow from our roof today. Believe me there was a ton of the white stuff to remove. The Acres guys worked non stop until the job was done. They kept us in the loop as to when they would be there and how long it would take to do the job. My wife and I would highly recommend Acres. Catherine Morisset2025-02-18 After the mid-February double snowstorm, I needed help to clear my driveway and saw that Acres Roofing provided emergency snow removal. Brayden: (a) answered the phone before 8am on Family Day, (b) provided a timeline for snow removal & updated me about ETA, (c) let me know the driveway had already been cleared (a big surprise from helpful neighbours), (d) and didn't charge me for time lost. Brayden communicated clearly, provided timely service, quoted a reasonable price, and through the process was respectful, even when things didn't turn out as planned. A big thank you, Judy Sims2025-02-14 Excellent service. Will recommend anytime. Well done and Thanks Cocoro Nyedetse2025-02-13 Absolutely great job done. I recommend this guys.

I highly recommend this company :) Kathryn Jarrett2024-11-09 I called Brayden from Acres Roofing in a bit of a panic late one Friday p.m. My chimney cap had blown off in a windstorm and I was worried that I would have a problem when it would rain next. I needed someone to come over that weekend! Brayden assured me he could do this work, provided me with an estimate, and arranged to come over the following morning. He arrived on time, briefly explained to me what he would be doing, and then went straight to it. My chimney cap is now back in place, probably more securely than it had been in the 1st place. I am super happy that my house is once again water secure! clayton knowlton2024-10-12 Excellent workmanship. On time! Detail description of the installation and costing. Mr Acres is a good communicator!
