Why is Hand Nailing Superior?
- Hand nailing shingles gives more control over the fastening process.
​
- Hand nailing allows experienced roofers to be more accurate and easily feel where each nail is placed, how firmly they are secured in the roof and gives them the ability to fix any errors.
​
- If the position, depth or angle of the nail in a shingle is off by even a little, water penetration can occur or the shingle may be blown off in high winds. Manufacturer warranty coverage will be voided if the inspection finds that the reason of the problem was incorrect nail placement.
​
- Roofers who specialize in hand nailing, install shingles shockingly fast and can complete jobs at the same pace of
Nail-Gun crews.
​
- Lower Material Costs for Installations
Our Story
My name is Brendan Clarke, and I have been roofing for over 10 years. I previously worked for one of the most reputable roofing companies in Oshawa, and through them was able to learn the art of hand-nailing from two of the most experienced roofers in the province. Over the years, I have now re-roofed over 500 homes.
​
Following that I pursued a corporate opportunity in the auto industry at a manufacturing plant as an Operations Assistant Manager. My college education in Business Administration, majoring in Operations assisted me in becoming very successful in the role and similar positions. However, I discovered the office life is not to my liking and missed working with my hands. I returned to the trade industry and jumped right back into high rise construction where I gained a lot of additional valuable experience, particularly concerning safety!

There are many reasons why you should choose to have your new Asphalt Shingle roofing system installed by hand nailing from a trusted professional who specializes in this method of installation! There are a number of issues that can occur from installing your shingles with nail guns, by an improperly trained crew, or by a company who's focus is on profit and finishing your roof as fast as possible. Any one of these problems occurring on your home has the potential to make your warranty invalid. It does not matter what quality roofing system you buy or how long your warranty is if it is not installed correctly!

What Our Satisfied Clients Are Saying
Brendan has done repair work for me on three different occasions to maintain my current roof. His quality of work has always been perfect. I would recommend him anytime and intend to use The Shingling King Inc. to re-roof my home when it needs to be done.
Michael Tangney
I got my new roof installed by The Shingling King Inc. and enjoyed the peace of mind I had knowing Brendan was working on my home. He was professional, clean and worked very hard to get the job done at a great price. I was even more impressed with how he showed me before and after pictures and explained in depth all of the issues my roof had been experiencing. I'm very happy I contacted The Shingling King, and will be referring the company to anyone in need of a roofer!
