Choose the right roof with Clean Comfort Home Improvements
*Paid Business Feature*

Strong winds and heavy rains can be a feature of the spring season here in Ontario. As a homeowner, you know that having a strong, well-maintained roof is the best way to protect your home and everything in it.
From roof maintenance and repair, to a full roof replacement, Clean Comfort Home Improvements is where to turn when you need to look after the exterior of your home.
Did you know there are many types of roofing materials, each with its own pros and cons? Clean Comfort installs and repairs asphalt shingles, rubber roofing, and metal roofing, and is ready to help you choose which option might be best for your home or business.
Asphalt shingles are what most people think of when considering roofing materials. They are the most affordable option and are usually the quickest to install. These shingles provide around 20 years of life for your roof, and are a popular choice for budget-conscious homeowners, as well as those with moderate to steep-sloped roofs.
These shingles can be installed relatively quickly, depending on the size of the roof and the number of layers that need to be removed. A typical installation can take from one day to a week.
Rubber roofing is a more eco-conscious choice. Made to look like real slate or wood shake, this roofing material is made with recycled materials. This is a more expensive option, but it also comes with a 50-year manufacturer warranty.
New builds, pitched roofs, legacy properties, and properties requiring a low maintenance roof would benefit from rubber roofing materials. Depending on the slope, the size of the roof, and the number of layers that need to be removed, a typical installation can take from a few days to a week.
Metal roofing is the most durable option, often with a 50+ year warranty. This roofing is also expensive, but is resistant to fire, wind, and other natural elements. Buildings that experience extreme weather, including high winds, would benefit from this low maintenance option.
Installation time for metal roofing is usually longer than the other two options, and can vary depending on the material and the type of roof, but usually takes around a week.
“Helping someone choose the right product is typically navigated by their ownership intentions, type of property (rental/semi/etc.), geographical location (accessibility, weather patterns), their vision, and their budget. And also the house — the design of the house really matters,” said Blayne Knott, Managing Partner at Clean Comfort Home Improvements.
