Your roof is a part of an integrated system that, when properly designed and professionally installed, does much more than protect you and your home or commercial building from the elements.

This allows for an accurate estimate that is designed to provide you with the right solution for your roofing needs.
All of the work comes with Great Canadian’s workmanship guarantee and is fully backed by manufacturers’ warranties from the best brands in roofing products.
Great Canadian specializes in the installation of asphalt, cedar, metal and concrete tile roofing.
Asphalt
Asphalt shingles are both economical and durable. The different styles of asphalt shingles can be divided into two basic categories: Architectural shingles and Traditional 3-Tab Design shingles.
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 or commercial building.
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.
Cedar
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.
Handsplit and resawn shakes with the split face exposed give a rustic natural look.
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.
Metal
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.
Standing seam is the most popular residential and commercial metal roofing. There are no exposed fasteners which minimizes the potential for water infiltration.
9-36 metal panels are commonly used on commercial and agricultural buildings. This is the most economical metal roofing system.
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.
Concrete tile
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.
