Keeping Moisture Out
A roof in lake country takes more wear and tear than most: snow load through the winter, sun exposure in summer, and ice damming if venting isn’t considered properly. We stock GAF, Owens Corning, and Resisto for their track record in this climate, including Westman Steel for a Manitoba-built steel option. Other major brands are available to order for clients matching an existing roof or looking for something specific.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
This depends on the material. Asphalt shingle roofs generally last 20 to 30 years, while metal roofs can last 40 years or more with proper installation. A good pitch, solid ventilation, and quality underlayment all help a roof reach the upper end of its lifespan. We carry GAF, Owens Corning, and Resisto, and can also source Westman Steel for a long-life metal option.
-
Both are good choices, and the right one depends on your priorities. Metal roofing lasts longer, sheds snow well, and stands up to harsh weather, which makes it popular for lake country homes, though it costs more upfront. Asphalt shingles are more affordable to install and easy to repair or match down the road. Give us a call and we can discuss your specific needs.

A few clear signs point to replacement rather than repair. Watch for widespread curling or cracked shingles, bald spots where the granules have worn off, granules collecting in your gutters, daylight or water stains in the attic, and any active leaks. If the roof is also near the end of its rated life, replacement is usually the smarter spend than repeated patching. Send us a photo and we will help you decide.
