Why Vancouver Homeowners Choose Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingle roofing in Vancouver remains the leading choice for residential properties, offering a well-balanced mix of durability, affordability, and ease of maintenance that’s hard to match.

Cost-Effective Durability



Shingles provide reliable, long-lasting protection at a much lower upfront cost than materials like metal or slate, offering the best overall value for most homeowners.


Versatile and Adaptable


Asphalt shingles are suitable for nearly any home with a pitched roof. They come in a huge variety of colours and styles to match any aesthetic and are specifically designed to perform well in wet, temperate climates like Vancouver's.

Types of Asphalt Shingles We Install

Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles

Architectural shingles are the modern standard and our most recommended option. Their multi-layer, laminated construction gives them a rich, textured appearance that mimics the look of wood shake. More importantly, this design provides superior durability, higher wind resistance, and a longer lifespan (typically 30-50 years) compared to basic shingles.

3-Tab Shingles

The classic and most budget-friendly option, 3-tab shingles have a flat, single-layer design that creates a uniform, brick-like pattern. While they offer reliable, basic protection, they have a shorter lifespan and lower wind resistance than architectural shingles. They are a suitable choice for projects where minimizing upfront cost is the primary goal.

Ideal Uses for Asphalt Shingles in Vancouver

Asphalt shingles are an excellent, all-around solution for many applications, including:

Single-Family Residential Homes

Asphalt shingles are the perfect choice when installing a complete roofing system for your home, offering an ideal balance of cost, style, and performance for most homeowners in Vancouver. With a vast array of colours and dimensional profiles available, they can complement any architectural style, from a classic bungalow to a modern custom build. Furthermore, their proven performance against Vancouver's wind and rain ensures that this value-driven choice does not compromise on protection.

Their cost-effectiveness and reliability make them an excellent choice when managing large-scale strata re-roofing projects, providing long-term value and a consistent look across all units. This allows strata councils to meet their budgeting requirements and depreciation report targets without sacrificing quality or compliance with fire safety codes. The speed and efficiency of a shingle installation also help to minimize disruption for residents during a large-scale project.

Because of their widespread availability, asphalt shingles make it easy to perform seamless fixes for most residential roof repair needs, from replacing a few storm-damaged shingles to sealing minor leaks. The ability to easily source matching shingles is crucial for maintaining your home's curb appeal, as the repair will blend in perfectly with the existing roof. Addressing these small issues quickly with readily available materials is the most effective way to prevent them from developing into larger, more costly water damage problems.

  • How long do asphalt shingles last in Vancouver?

    In Vancouver's wet climate, you can expect a professionally installed 3-tab shingle roof to last 15-20 years. A higher-quality architectural shingle roof will last significantly longer, typically 25 to 30 years or more.

  • Are they good for rainy climates?

    Yes. Modern asphalt shingles are made with a waterproof asphalt core and a surface of dense ceramic granules. This design is highly effective at shedding water and resisting the moisture challenges of our coastal weather. Many premium shingles also include algae-resistant granules to prevent streaking.

  • Do you offer architectural vs. 3-tab options?

    Yes, we install both types. While we can install 3-tab shingles for budget-focused projects, we typically recommend architectural shingles for their superior durability, longer lifespan, and better long-term value for Vancouver homeowners.
