The most popular material in Quebec
Why asphalt shingles dominate Montreal's residential roofs
More than 80% of pitched residential roofs in Quebec are covered with asphalt shingles, and that is no accident. The material strikes an excellent balance between cost, durability and ease of installation, while standing up well to the freeze-thaw cycles typical of our climate.
At Toiture AM we install the major established brands — BP, IKO, CertainTeed and GAF — and help you choose the line best suited to your budget and your property's exposure, whether you are in Saint-Laurent, Laval or on the South Shore.
Which type of shingle should you choose?
Three-tab shingle
Flat and economical, 15 to 20-year service life. Suits tight budgets or outbuildings.
Architectural shingle
3D relief, thicker, better wind resistance. 30 to 50-year service life — our default recommendation.
Premium / designer shingle
Mimics the look of slate or wood. Ideal for higher-end properties after a distinctive style.

Wind resistance
Modern architectural shingles withstand gusts of 180 to 210 km/h thanks to a heat-activated adhesive strip and nailing done to spec.

Recommended maintenance
Annual debris cleaning, checking the flashing and clearing the gutters all extend service life.

Choosing asphalt shingles well in Montreal
Why the asphalt shingle is still the number one choice
Asphalt shingles remain the most widely used roofing material in Quebec thanks to excellent value, ease of installation and a broad range of styles. They allow quick installation even on complex roofs with multiple slopes, valleys and dormers — a common configuration on houses in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal and Rosemont.
BP Building Products: the Quebec manufacturer
BP designs its shingles in Quebec, which translates into very good adaptation to local climate conditions. The Mystique and Vanguard lines offer pronounced relief and a manufacturer warranty reaching 50 years on the premium ranges.
IKO Roofing: the durability benchmark
IKO has a solid reputation for the durability of its Cambridge and Dynasty shingles. Its reinforced adhesive strip technology improves resistance to lifting in high wind, an advantage for exposed properties on the island of Montreal and in Laval.
CertainTeed: cold-climate performance
CertainTeed's Landmark range stands out for its two-tone colour palette and how well it holds up through the repeated freeze-thaw cycles of a Quebec winter, a key factor for roofs in Longueuil and Brossard.
Wind resistance: what actually makes the difference
A shingle's wind resistance does not come down to the product alone, but also to the quality of the installation. Insufficient or badly positioned nailing can substantially reduce the wind-resistance warranty, whichever brand you choose.
Warranty: what to check before signing
A manufacturer warranty generally applies only when installation is carried out by a certified contractor, to the maker's precise specifications. Toiture AM meets those requirements for every brand we install.
Choosing the right colour for your property
Beyond looks, shingle colour slightly influences attic temperature: darker shades absorb more heat in summer. We suggest considering your exterior cladding and the architectural style of the neighbourhood before finalising your choice.

Frequently asked questions — Asphalt Shingles
Clear answers to the questions we get asked most about this service.
Which shingle brand is best for the Quebec climate?
BP, IKO and CertainTeed all offer architectural ranges that perform well in cold climates, with good resistance to freeze-thaw cycles. The best choice depends on your budget, the roof's slope and how exposed to wind your area is.
What is the difference between a three-tab and an architectural shingle?
A three-tab shingle is flat and economical, with a 15 to 20-year service life. An architectural shingle is thicker, has 3D relief and generally lasts 30 to 50 years.
What wind resistance do modern shingles offer?
Premium architectural shingles are generally warrantied to withstand winds of 180 to 210 km/h when installed to the manufacturer's specifications.
How many shingle colours are available?
Each manufacturer offers 12 to 20 shades, from slate grey to wood brown to onyx black. We bring physical samples so you can confirm the colour.
How do I maintain an asphalt shingle roof?
Simple annual maintenance extends its life: clearing debris and moss, inspecting the flashing and keeping the gutters clear.
