		<description><![CDATA[Our properly designed and professionally installed roofs help you reduce energy costs, and enhance the beauty of your home or business.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Saskatoon, we provide top-quality roofing and re-roofing products and services, for new construction and renovation of residential or commercial buildings.<p/>
<h2>Advantages of Roof Renovations</h2>
<p>Your roof does more than protect your house or commercial property from the elements. When it’s properly designed and professionally installed, a roof plays an important role in an integrated system of smart building maintenance. New roofing will add value, decrease your energy costs and improve the beauty of your home or business.</p>
<h2>How to Buy A Roof</h2>
<p>Great Canadian always starts with a thorough and professional evaluation of your roofing system. We inspect your attic insulation, ventilation and the integrity of your roof’s structure.</p>
<h2>Renovation Estimates and Warranties</h2>
<p>After our roofing inspection, we design an accurate estimate that correctly solves your roofing requirements, within your budget. All of our work comes with Great Canadian’s workmanship guarantee and is fully backed by manufacturer’s warranties from the best brands in roofing materials.</p>
<h2>Roofing Options</h2>
<p>Our roofing products for home and commercial renovations are long-lasting, low-maintenance, and sharp looking.
<strong>Great Canadian</strong> specializes in the installation of asphalt, cedar, metal and concrete tile roofing.</p>

<h2>Asphalt</h2>

<p>Asphalt shingles are both economical and durable. The different styles of asphalt shingles can be divided into two basic categories: <em>Architectural shingles</em> and <em>Traditional 3-Tab Design shingles</em>.</p>

<div class="inner_box_left">
<img src="http://www.greatcanadian.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/istockphoto_907762-new-roof.jpg" alt="Architectural shingles " title="Architectural shingles" width="270" height="180" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-524" />
<p>Architectural shingles have a notable dimensional thickness and deep, blended shadow bands that simulate the appearance of classic wood shakes, enhancing the beauty of any home.</p>
</div>
<div class="inner_box_left">
<img src="http://www.greatcanadian.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/istockphoto_6243573-roof-shingles.jpg" alt="traditional 3-tab design shingles" title="traditional 3-tab design shingles" width="270" height="180" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-525" />
<p>The traditional 3-tab design shingle are always a favourite due to their dependability and track record. They are also available in a wide variety of colours to suit your needs.</p>
</div>

<h2>Cedar</h2>

<p>Cedar shakes and shingles provide a warmth and elegance that is unmatched by man-made roofing products.  Cedar’s natural oils help resist decay and withstand Canada’s freeze/thaw cycles. </p>

<div class="inner_box_left">
<img src="http://www.greatcanadian.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/istockphoto_7339140-wood-roof-shingles.jpg" alt="Handsplit and resawn shakes" title="Handsplit and resawn shakes" width="270" height="180" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-528" />
<p>Handsplit and resawn shakes with the split face exposed give a rustic natural look.</p>
</div>
<div class="inner_box_left">
<img src="http://www.greatcanadian.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/istockphoto_3620564-cedar-wooden-shingles-background.jpg" alt="Taper sawn shakes and Shingles " title="Taper sawn shakes and Shingles " width="270" height="179" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-527" />
<p>Taper sawn shakes and Shingles are sawn on both sides giving a more tailored appearance to your home.  Taper sawn shakes have a stronger shadowline than a shingle.</p>
</div>

<h2>Metal</h2>

<p>A variety of metal roofing products are available. Metal roofs are durable, fire retardant, virtually maintenance-free and much lighter than other roofing products.  They are also energy efficient as metal reflects heat and blocks its transfer into the attic.  We specialize in the installation of standing seam, 9-36 paneling and rock coated steel panels.</p>

<div class="inner_box_third">
<img src="http://www.greatcanadian.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/istockphoto_2263105-attic-windows.jpg" alt="Standing seam" title="Standing seam" width="170" height="113" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-531" />
<p>Standing seam is the most popular residential and commercial metal roofing.  There are no exposed fasteners which minimizes the potential for water infiltration.</p>
</div>
<div class="inner_box_third">
<img src="http://www.greatcanadian.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/istockphoto_101860-slanted-blue.jpg" alt="9-36 metal panels" title="9-36 metal panels" width="170" height="113" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-530" />
<p>9-36 metal panels are commonly used on commercial and agricultural buildings.  This is the most economical metal roofing system.</p>
</div>
<div class="inner_box_third" style="margin-right:0">
<img src="http://www.greatcanadian.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/rockcoatedsteel.jpg" alt="Rock coated steel" title="Rock coated steel" width="170" height="113" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-532" />
<p>Stone coated steel roofing panels are highly durable and weather resistant.  They provide a classic shake-like feel to a home.  They are also made to resemble much heavier and brittle concrete tile.</p>
</div>
<h2>Concrete tile</h2>
<div class="inner_box_left">
<img src="http://www.greatcanadian.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/istockphoto_12512784-orange-roof-tiles.jpg" alt="Concrete tile - Shingles, simulated wood shakes, lighter-weight tiles and concrete panels" title="Concrete tile - Shingles, simulated wood shakes, lighter-weight tiles and concrete panels" width="270" height="180" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-534" />
</div>
<div class="inner_box_left" style="border:none; width:285px"><p>Concrete tile has evolved over the years.  Shingles, simulated wood shakes, lighter-weight tiles and concrete panels are being manufactured from a variety of fibre-reinforced cement products. Some are coated with plastics, enamels, or thin metals and many from recycled material. The advantages of concrete roofing vary, but generally they all have greater longevity, require minimal maintenance, offer good fire protection and are resistant to rot and insects.  Their unique look can bring a distinctive beauty to any home.</p></div>]]></content:encoded>

<h2>Metal</h2>

<p>A variety of metal roofing products are available. Metal roofs are durable, fire retardant, virtually maintenance-free and much lighter than other roofing products.  They are also energy efficient as metal reflects heat and blocks its transfer into the attic.  We specialize in the installation of standing seam, 9-36 paneling and rock coated steel panels.</p>

<p>Stone coated steel roofing panels are highly durable and weather resistant.  They provide a classic shake-like feel to a home.  They are also made to resemble much heavier and brittle concrete tile.</p>

</div>
<div class="inner_box_left" style="border:none; width:285px"><p>Concrete tile has evolved over the years.  Shingles, simulated wood shakes, lighter-weight tiles and concrete panels are being manufactured from a variety of fibre-reinforced cement products. Some are coated with plastics, enamels, or thin metals and many from recycled material. The advantages of concrete roofing vary, but generally they all have greater longevity, require minimal maintenance, offer good fire protection and are resistant to rot and insects.  Their unique look can bring a distinctive beauty to any home.</p></div>]]></content:encoded>
