10/15/2014 Roofing for Less (www.RoofingForLess.ca/), Orillia, Barrie, Midland, Newmarket, Bracebridge, and Gravenhurst’s leading roofing, siding, and eavestrough installation company, is announcing the benefits of using fibreglass shingles, as opposed to asphalt or any other shingle type.

“Besides being more durable than other types of roof shingles, fibreglass roofing is made to handle multiple weather conditions, like what is experienced throughout Simcoe County,” says Doug Lewis, roofing specialist at Roofing for Less. “Fibreglass shingles are really tough and dependable. They’re good for protecting homes in cooler climates and, with the drop in cost over the years, they have become much more affordable when compared to asphalt shingles.”

Lewis explains that there are many advantages of fibreglass shingles, including that they can be repaired without having to replace the entire roof. Architectural shingles in particular are even more resilient and offer supreme protection against harsh weather. “In most instances, fibreglass is strong enough where it only has to be repaired; this result is a great cost-saving measure for homeowners,” says Lewis

“One of the downfalls of asphalt shingles is that they shrink and curl when they wear out, which can lead to water damage, but this is not an issue for fibreglass shingles,” Lewis concludes. “At Roofing for Less, we have conducted a lot of roofing repairs and replacements, making us experienced roofing contractors who will properly install and repair shingles.”
