CONS

Asphalt shingles can be damaged in winds of more than 145 mph, especially if they weren't installed properly. Alberta's piercing and relentless winds could cause more damage than to some other materials. However, with an affordable price point and ease of installation, as well as options for upgraded asphalt shingle lines that have been designed for wind, there’s no reason to avoid this material.

The durability in Alberta’s harsh winters can be compromised. It is important to perform regular maintenance on your roof to ensure your asphalt shingle roof can stand up to the harsh winters.

They might not last as long as some other options. With an average life-cycle of 15 years, it doesn’t hold up as long as materials like metal or rubber, but it also is much cheaper to install and replace than other material options.
