S. Martel Roofing is the go-to option for asphalt shingle roofing in Ottawa. Asphalt shingles are the most commonly used roofing material in Ottawa due to their affordability and ease of installation, requiring minimal skills and training. They are made from a fiberglass base saturated with asphalt and covered with granules that give them a sand-like appearance. They are available in a standard thickness with an attractive texture, as well as a thicker version called architectural or dimensional shingles, which resemble slate or wood shingles due to their thickness and depth. While laminated shingles are more expensive, they have a longer lifespan. The cost of both standard and laminated shingles varies based on their versatility, design, safety, and wind resistance.
