Why Asphalt Shingles Are Moncton's #1 Roofing Choice
Asphalt shingles account for the vast majority of residential roofing in Greater Moncton — and for good reason. Modern architectural (dimensional) shingles from IKO, GAF, and CertainTeed are specifically engineered to handle Atlantic Canada's demanding conditions: heavy snow loads, freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams, high coastal winds, and salt air.
Unlike older 3-tab shingles, architectural shingles have a multi-layer laminated construction that provides superior wind resistance (rated to 130+ km/h with proper installation), better impact resistance, and a much longer lifespan — 25–50 years with certified installation versus 15–20 years for basic 3-tab. In Moncton's climate, this difference is significant.
The key to asphalt shingle performance in New Brunswick is proper underlayment and ice protection. IKO StormShield or CertainTeed Vycor ice & water shield must be installed at all eaves (minimum 1 metre past the interior wall line — the NB code requirement), in all valleys, around all penetrations, and at rakes. Without this, even premium shingles will allow ice dam water infiltration. All our installations include this as standard — not an extra.
Why Our Asphalt Shingle Installations Outperform in Moncton
IKO Craftsman Premier Certified
IKO is a Canadian manufacturer with specific products for NB conditions. Craftsman Premier certification unlocks enhanced warranty programs and priority material access.
GAF Master Elite — Golden Pledge
Only 3% of Canadian roofers hold Master Elite status. This unlocks GAF's Golden Pledge lifetime warranty — covering both materials AND installation labour for the life of your home.
CertainTeed Select Shingle Master
CertainTeed's top installer credential. Select Shingle Masters offer the SureStart PLUS 5-year warranty and access to the full SureStart warranty program on all CertainTeed products.
6-Nail High-Wind Pattern
NB building code and manufacturer requirements in wind zones require 6 nails per shingle minimum. Our installers follow this on every single shingle — the difference between a 25-year and a 5-year roof in a windstorm.
Ice & Water Shield Standard
We include IKO StormShield or CertainTeed Vycor ice & water barrier on all eaves, valleys, and penetrations as a standard component — not an upsell. This is non-negotiable for NB winters.
Proper Ventilation Calculated
We calculate your attic's exact ventilation needs (soffit + ridge vent balance) per NBC 2020 standards. Improper ventilation voids warranties and causes premature shingle failure in NB's climate.
