Cruise the lakes and you’ll find no two cottages are the same. Every family, lot, and landscape leads builders to craft one-of-a-kind custom designs that are as impressive as they are unique.
“Muskoka’s designers and builders create some of the most beautiful properties in Ontario. The complex designs, and Muskoka itself, offer an extra challenge when it comes to roofing,” says Jamie Bates, Owner of AllPro Roofing Inc. “Logistics, materials, scheduling and installation are all more challenging when working with properties on the shore and islands.”
Unlike typical subdivision homes, roofs in Muskoka often include a combination of sloped and flat roofing. They also use luxury materials like standing seam steel or synthetic cedar shakes, which require a full-service roofing company that is trained in installing all types of roofing and experienced in working with custom home builders.
“In these scenarios, knowledge and experience make all the difference,” says Jamie. AllPro Roofing Inc. is in its 13th year of business, but the team brings three generations of industry experience working on custom builds from Toronto to Muskoka, and Georgian Bay to the Kawarthas.
In addition to fibreglass shingles, they specialize in installing standing seam steel, Euroshield rubber roofing, synthetic slate and cedar shakes, as well as natural slate and flat roofs. Each installer is trained by their manufacturers on an ongoing basis to ensure every installation meets AllPro Roofing Inc.’s high quality standards.
Synthetic slate and synthetic shakes are increasingly popular choices in Muskoka for their realistic appearance and 50-year life span, without the high cost of natural slate or cedar shake roofs.
“They look just like the real thing, are more affordable, and are much lighter,” says Jamie. “Natural slate is so heavy, your roof has to be specifically engineered to hold that weight. That’s not the case with synthetic slate.”
Best of all, they offer a limited lifetime warranty on all their synthetic roofing products.
“Whatever your roofing needs are, we’ve got you covered,” says Jamie.
