Shingle and Metal Roofing Solutions

At Building Sense, we provide high-performance roofing systems designed to safeguard your home against the harshest elements. Whether you prefer the classic aesthetic of architectural shingles or the modern, lifetime durability of metal, our professional installers deliver precision craftsmanship that protects your investment from the deck up.

 

We don't just "shingle over" problems; we install complete integrated roofing systems that include proper ventilation, high-grade underlayment, and robust ice and water shielding.

 

 

Our Roofing Options

 

1. Architectural Asphalt Shingles

The most popular choice for North American homes, offering a perfect balance of affordability, style, and reliability.

  • Dimensional Texture: We use heavy-weight architectural shingles that provide a wood-shake look with superior wind resistance.

  • Algae Resistance: Advanced copper-infused granules prevent the growth of unsightly black streaks.

  • High Wind Ratings: Systems rated for up to 130 mph (approx. 209 km/h) to ensure shingles stay put during severe storms.

 

2. Premium Metal Roofing

The "forever roof" for homeowners looking for maximum longevity, energy efficiency, and modern curb appeal.

  • Standing Seam Systems: Concealed fasteners prevent leaks and provide a sleek, contemporary look.

  • Extreme Durability: Fire-resistant, hail-resistant, and won't crack or rot.

  • Energy Efficiency: Highly reflective coatings can reduce attic temperatures by up to 40% in the summer, lowering cooling costs.

 

 

The Anatomy of Our Roof Installations

 

Why Choose Building Sense?

  • Tear-Off Specialists: We always remove old layers down to the deck. We do not support "roof-overs," which can trap moisture and add unnecessary weight.

  • Professional Installation: Guaranteed to be installed right, the first time!

  • Magnet-Sweep Cleanliness: We use high-power magnetic sweeps to collect every stray nail, ensuring your lawn and driveway are safe for pets and tires.
