When it comes to high-end roofing, two materials consistently rise to the top of the conversation: classic cedar shingles and modern rubber slate. Both are beautiful, durable, and well-suited to the kinds of homes we work on every day here in Toronto. But they're not interchangeable, and choosing the right one for your home can make a real difference in long-term satisfaction and value. Here's an honest side-by-side look at both options.
One of the most common questions homeowners ask before starting a roofing project is: how much is this going to cost? It is a fair question, and one that does not always have a straightforward answer, because the cost of a new roof depends on a number of factors specific to your home and your goals.
As winter loosens its grip on Toronto, your roof is about to go through another major test, the spring melt. For homeowners with high-end roofing materials like metal, cedar, or slate, early spring is the ideal time to protect your investment and ensure your premium roof performs at its best all year.
