FAQ

What is the Impact Resistance Rating for Asphalt Shingles?

We offer asphalt shingles with both Class 3 and Class 4 impact resistance ratings, ensuring they can withstand varying levels of hail damage. Class 3 shingles can handle hailstones up to 1.75 inches in diameter, while Class 4 — the highest rating — can endure hailstones up to 2 inches in diameter. For Calgary’s unpredictable weather, we recommend Class 4 shingles for maximum protection against hailstorms.

How Much Maintenance Does an Asphalt Shingle Roof Require?

Asphalt shingle roofs are relatively low-maintenance compared to other materials, but they do require some care to maximize their lifespan. Regular inspections (at least once a year) are recommended to check for loose, cracked, or missing shingles. Additionally, cleaning debris like leaves and moss from the roof surface can prevent water buildup and damage. With proper maintenance, your asphalt roof can last 25–30 years.

How Difficult Is It to Replace an Asphalt Shingle Roof?

Replacing an asphalt shingle roof is a straightforward process compared to other roofing materials, thanks to its lightweight design and ease of installation. Our experienced team at Construct Vision can typically complete a replacement within 1–3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. We ensure the old roof is removed properly, any underlying issues are addressed, and the new shingles are installed efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily life.
