Your roof is the first line of defense against the snow, rain, wind, and sun that make up the weather of the Central region. To fully protect your home and family you need a complete roofing system that is designed to stand up to all environmental conditions. Residential roofing will last longer if it receives the right care and maintenance. Residential roofs are often ignored until they start causing problems and we unnecessarily invest in fixing problems that could have been avoided.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing Systems
Asphalt shingles are the most commonly used type of shingle across North America. Today’s asphalt shingles are reinforced with a fiberglass mat or an organic material such as paper or wood fiber, and can range in life expectancy from 10 to 20 years for a typical shingle.Great improvements to the asphalt shingle have been made, resulting in a more durable product know as laminated shingles. Laminate shingles are also known as “dimensional” or “architectural” shingles.
Laminate shingles are also made of asphalt but differ from the “three tab” shingle in design. They were designed to add character, color and depth to the roof aesthetics. They are made of multiple staggered layers of material, with a range of durability, typically 15 to 50 years. Laminate shingles are thicker and heavier than “three tab” shingles, thus are more resistant to wind. From a distance, some of the high grade (high quality) laminated shingles have the look of an expensive slate or shake material, by incorporating angled or rounded tabs, shadow lines and variant color patterns.
Asphalt shingles come in a variety of colors and styles. Individual shingles may be replaced if damaged. An additional advantage of asphalt shingles is that in certain circumstances, they can be installed over an existing roof of asphalt shingles, eliminating the need to remove the old roof.

Metal Roofing Systems
Metal roofs are growing in popularity thanks to their durability, aesthetic appeal and unsurpassed protection against the elements. SKYLIMITLESS ROOFING is the GTA’s metal roofing specialist who can design and install a metal roof that is technologically innovative, durable, beautiful, and lasts a lifetime.
SKYLIMITLESS ROOFING specializes in metal roofing for GTA area homes. We have partnered with well established metal roof material companies and our highly specialized metal roofing crew that only installs metal roofing systems. Most people still think of the traditional asphalt shingle roof as the “obvious” choice. While asphalt is certainly not a bad option, there are several advantages to choosing metal as your roofing system.
- Metal Roofs are Durable and Strong
Metal roofing systems have passed wind and uplift tests that are rigorously demanding, testing roofing materials simulating wind speeds over 150 miles per hour. Metal roofing systems also lead the way in fire protection for your home. Because of your metal roof having that extra strength (and resistance to fire), you may be able to qualify for lower premiums on your homeowner’s insurance. Check with your insurance agent for information.
- Metal Roofs are Beautiful
Metal roofing systems carry valuable and meaningful warranties against fading, chipping, chalking, and rusting. A metal roof comes in lasting colors and themes that will fit a myriad of tastes and styles, ranging from vertical panels, or metal shingles that resemble slate, tile or even wood. The long life and extra protection of a metal roof not only protects but enhances the beauty and value of your home.
- Metal Roofs are Virtually Maintenance-Free
Most roofs will require some combination of maintenance or repair over their lifetime. Not so with a metal roof. No maintenance means no hassle and no ongoing expense. Of course there are rare exceptions, such as hail, which can dent the metal.
- Metal Roofing Last a Lifetime
In fact, there have been known cases of the roof outlasting the home itself. When you compare metal roofing that last 50 years or more with asphalt shingles that last maybe 10-20 years, you can see why the cost is higher for metal. But you recover that investment in the long run by not having to replace your roof every 15 years.
- A Metal Roof Adds Value to Your Home
Most people don’t stay in a home for 50 years.If you think you might sell your home and move within the next decade or two, a metal roof will be a big selling point. The new buyer will know that the roof won’t need to be replaced for a long time.
When we are discussing metal roofing as an option with a customer, the question of noise almost always comes up. There is a common notion that a roof made of metal will create a cacophony of noise inside the house during a rain. This is a misconception. There are several levels of materials between the top side of the roof and the inside of the house – radiant barriers, dense foam board, the wood roof deck itself, and then your attic insulation. When it’s raining, you will not hear the raindrops hitting the roof.

How long will my cedar roof last?
Many homeowners worry about the longevity of a cedar roof system, but it is possible to have a cedar roof professionally installed and endure for decades. The keys to the longevity of a cedar roof system are high-quality cedar shakes and shingles, adequate ventilation, and a properly trained installation team.
One of the most important elements of a cedar roof installation is the quality of the cedar shakes are shingles. There are many homes in the GTA region that currently have cedar shake roofs that may be coming to the end of their serviceable life. This is often the result of the home builder using builder-grade cedar shakes. There are options available that will allow the homeowner to install a new cedar shake roof that is Certified and has a longer warranty period than their current system.
