Why Ontario Homeowners Choose Metal Roofing
Long Service Life
A properly selected and installed metal roof is designed for substantially longer service than conventional roofing.
Ontario Climate
Metal roofing is well suited to snow, rain, freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat and changing Ontario weather.
Architectural Choice
Select from slate, shake, shingle, tile, standing seam and solar-integrated roofing designs.
Low Maintenance
Metal does not rot like wood and is not affected by many of the deterioration problems associated with asphalt.
Recyclable Material
Steel roofing is recyclable and may reduce the need for repeated roof replacement over the life of the home.
Professional Installation
Correct preparation, ventilation, flashing and fastening are essential to the performance of every metal roofing system.

Metal Roofing Systems FAQ
Which metal roofing profile is best?
The best profile depends on your preferred appearance, roof slope, complexity, location and budget. ROOFNOW™ compares suitable systems after reviewing the property.
Can metal roofing be installed over shingles?
Some systems may be installed over existing asphalt shingles when the condition of the roof, structure, local requirements and manufacturer instructions allow it.
Does every metal roof have exposed screws?
No. Many architectural systems use interlocking panels, concealed clips or concealed-fastener designs. The fastening method depends on the selected system.
Is a metal roof noisy during rain?
A residential metal roof installed over a properly prepared roof assembly, insulation and attic space is different from an exposed metal panel installed over an open building.
What colours are available?
Available colours depend on the manufacturer, profile and coating. Options can include black, grey, brown and additional architectural colours.
How much does a metal roof cost?
Cost depends on roof size, slope, complexity, preparation, selected profile, finish, flashing requirements and property access. An assessment is required for accurate pricing.
