Fibreglass Shingle Replacement

A full shingle replacement done right — because the details matter

If your asphalt/fibreglass shingle roof is nearing the end of its life, replacement isn’t just “new shingles.” The performance of your roof depends on the system: underlayment, ventilation, flashing, edge details, and installation quality.

Findlay Roofing replaces fibreglass shingle roofs throughout the GTA, Golden Horseshoe and rural Southwest Ontario using proven materials and certified installation practices.

Best for:

  • Improving resale value with manufacturer-backed warranty options
  • Aging roofs with widespread granule loss, curling, cracking or frequent leaks
  • Homeowners who want upgraded durability and cleaner roof lines

Signs it’s time to replace your shingle roof

  • Shingles curling, cracking, or breaking when touched
  • Heavy granules in eavestroughs and downspouts
  • Multiple or recurring leaks in different areas
  • Soft spots or sagging (possible decking issues)
  • Shingles missing or sliding after wind events

What you get with a Findlay shingle replacement

Tear-off and inspection

We remove old shingles and inspect the underlying roof deck. If we find damaged decking, we’ll show you and explain your options.

Underlayment and water protection

Ontario freeze/thaw cycles are hard on roofs. We focus on the vulnerable zones:

  • Ice & water protection at eaves/valleys (as appropriate)
  • High-quality underlayment across the roof surface
  • Proper drip edge and eave protection details

Flashing upgrades (where leaks usually start)

We repair or replace flashing at:

  • Chimneys and sidewalls
  • Valleys
  • Vents and pipe penetrations
  • Skylights and roof-to-wall transitions

Ventilation and attic performance

Roof lifespan is strongly tied to heat and moisture control. We’ll review ventilation and recommend improvements where needed.

Clean, consistent installation

Our crews install for performance and appearance:

  • Straight lines, correct fastener placement
  • Clean ridge details
  • Proper sealing and finish work

Shingle brands and options

We install trusted shingle brands including GAF, CertainTeed, IKO, BP, and Owens Corning. Options vary by budget and style, including architectural shingles that provide depth and a premium look.

Premium option: GAF Timberline HDZ

A popular choice for homeowners who want a well-known architectural shingle with strong performance and attractive profiles.

Warranty options

Ask about manufacturer-registered warranty options available through certified installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does replacement take?

Most homes are completed quickly once scheduled, but timing depends on roof size, complexity, weather, and any decking repairs.

Can you replace just one section?

Can you replace just one section?
Sometimes. If the roof is near end-of-life, full replacement is usually the better value.
