Built for Halifax Weather. Installed by Local Experts. Backed by Warranty. That’s what we do at Aplus Roofing & Masonry.
Living in Halifax means dealing with heavy snow, driving rain, and strong Atlantic winds. That’s why choosing the right roofing system isn’t just about looks. It’s about long-term performance and peace of mind.
At A-Plus Roofing & Masonry, we specialize in metal and asphalt shingle roofing. We’ll help you find the best fit for your home, budget, and future. Here are some things for consideration that Nova Scotia homeowners face.
- Halifax Weather & Roof Performance
- Heavy snow in winter
- Rain and fog throughout the year
- High humidity
- Wind gusts from Atlantic storms
Best performer in this climate? Metal roofing, thanks to its wind resistance and ability to shed snow and moisture quickly.
- Cost: Upfront vs. Long-Term
- Asphalt Shingles
- More affordable for short-term homeowners
- Metal Roofing
- Costs more upfront but lasts 2 – 3x longer
In the HRM, if you’re staying in your home for 10+ years, a metal roof can pay off in lower maintenance and energy costs.
- Durability in Snow & Salt Air
- Shingles can crack from freeze and thaw cycles or absorb moisture.
- Metal is snow-shedding, corrosion-resistant, and less prone to storm damage.
Winner: Metal roofing, particularly in coastal neighborhoods, like Bedford, Dartmouth, or Halifax.
- Curb Appeal
- Asphalt shingles are classic and available in many colors.
- Metal roofs now come in modern profiles and even shake or tile designs.
Both, work aesthetically, but metal roofing adds a sleek, contemporary edge popular in new Halifax builds.
- Environmental Impact
- Shingles: Often end up in landfills.
- Metal: Recyclable and often made from recycled material.
If you’re eco-conscious, metal roofing is the green winner.
Final Verdict for Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, and the rest of Nova Scotia Homeowners?
If you’re on a tight budget and just need a reliable roof, asphalt shingles are a solid choice.
But if you’re investing in your “forever home,” want maximum durability, and don’t want to worry about repairs every storm season, metal roofing is the smarter long-term investment especially in Halifax’s unpredictable weather.
