Shingles & Capping
The roof of your home is one of its most defining features. Functionally speaking, it protects interior spaces, keeps out the elements, and wards off potential damage caused by wind and moisture. From an aesthetic perspective, the roof finishes your home's exterior appearance, complements its architectural design, and can be a focal point that turns heads and enhances curb appeal.
No matter your roofing vision and needs, STAR Building Materials in Winnipeg offers a broad selection of quality roofing options and our experienced team is always available to provide guidance and support throughout the roofing process. Whether you're a contractor seeking specialty materials or a homeowner looking to complete repairs or renovations on your own, we've got you covered.

Shingle Options
When it comes to selecting the right shingles for your roofing project, there's no one-size-fits-all solution. At STAR Building Materials, our roofing system solutions include metal roofing, cedar shingles, and more. Quality asphalt shingles are available in a wide variety of different colours and styles that offer exceptional durability and ease of installation.
Asphalt shingles are a popular choice for Winnipeg area homes. Attractive, versatile, affordable, and low-maintenance, they are relatively quick to install and offer superior protection that can last for twenty years or more. Speak with a STAR representative to determine which shingle option may be the right choice for your particular circumstances and project goals.
Capping for Your Roof
Capping refers to specially designed shingles that are installed along roof ridges (peaks where two roof planes meet). An essential element of any roofing project, capping finishes and protects the roof while also allowing for necessary airflow into and out of the attic space beneath.
Ridge cap shingles are made of the same material as standard asphalt shingles, but are typically smaller and thicker to help them withstand the additional environmental exposure at the peak of the roof. They are also manufactured pre-bent to easily fit along the roof ridge.
Capping is one of the most functionally important and visually noticeable features of any sloped roof design. Stylistically, cap shingles should coordinate with the shingle selection on the rest of the roof to contribute to a cohesive and attractive appearance.
