The two types of asphalt shingles that do not do the installation and repair in the city of Laval.
There are two types of asphalt shingles commonly installed and repaired in the city of Laval, the city of Montreal and the South Shore. The first type is called the organic (or traditional) shingle.

The organic shingle
This type of shingle is the traditional shingle and commonly installed on the roofs of houses in the suburbs, whether in the city of Montreal, in the city of Laval or on the South Shore. He is considered an old model. It is normally made from paper coated with asphalt. It is known to be rather malleable and easy to install.
The fiberglass shingle
This type of shingle is an improved model of the organic shingle. Instead of being made with asphalt-coated paper, the fiberglass shingle is made with a fiberglass membrane. This difference allows this new shingle model to be lighter. It is all the more resistant to heat and weather common in Quebec than its previous model, but it is also less expensive. Before installing this new type of shingle, it is important to extend an underlay on the roof.

It is important to make a careful choice of the color of this layer when it is time to purchase the materials. By choosing a lighter color, it will be possible to ensure that the roof stores less energy and so it will be possible to keep it in good condition for a longer time.
