The work was doing efficiently and very professionally from start to completion within the described timeline. Matt was thorough in describing the current work, but also followup in the spring. I appreciated this very much. I would highly recommend Matt and his company. They have taken care of our roofing needs for over 35 years. Paul BondTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently reached out to Shingletown Roofing after seeing their flyer at a local business establishment. Initially, I checked the website and was very impressed with their overall marketing materials and professional online presence. I filled out the online request form and was pleasantly surprised to have an immediate confirmation of my form submission followed up by a call from the owner himself, Matt. We set up a time for Matt to come and inspect my eaves troughs for any concerns going into the winter season. Not only did he do this in a thorough and professional manner but he also inspected the entire roof for other concerns and put my mind at ease. I learned a great deal about roofs during our meeting while Matt patiently answered all of my questions. I also learned about his passion for the family business he was proudly running that started over 40 years ago. I highly recommend Matt and his company and will definitely make Shingletown Roofing my first call for future roof and exterior repairs!

Matt Gosse, owner of Shingletown Roofing, was very professional throughout the whole process. They kept us informed of what they were doing at each stage of the installation. Matt was very particular about his workmanship. We liked that it was a small family owned business. John, his co-worker, had also worked with Matt's father for many years. Matt's fiancee Henna, was very particular about keeping the work site free from old shingles and nails. We are very pleased with our new roof and will recommend them to our family and friends.

Signs you may need a roof replacement include:
Shingles that are curling, cracking, or missing
Granules collecting in gutters
Recurring leaks
Sagging areas
A roof that is 20+ years old
In Ontario’s climate, freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow loads accelerate wear. If your roof is aging or experiencing widespread damage, replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
If the damage is isolated, such as a few missing shingles, minor flashing issues, or a small leak, a repair is often the right solution.
However, if your roof is older (20+ years), has widespread shingle deterioration, or multiple recurring leaks, replacement may be more cost-effective long term.
During your inspection in Kitchener, Waterloo, or Cambridge, we assess the full roofing system to determine whether repair or replacement makes the most sense.
Hiring an insured contractor protects you from financial risk.
Without proper insurance and WSIB coverage, homeowners can be held responsible for injuries or property damage that occur during a project. Working with a fully insured, compliant company ensures your home is protected and the work meets professional standards.
Signs your soffit or fascia may need replacement include:
Peeling paint or visible rot
Sagging or warped boards
Animal or pest entry
Water stains near roof edges
Eavestrough pulling away from the roofline
In the Kitchener-Waterloo region, moisture from heavy rainfall and winter freeze-thaw cycles can accelerate deterioration. Since fascia supports your eavestrough system, damaged fascia can lead to larger drainage issues if left untreated.
