Metal roofing systems we install

Standing seam

Vertical panels that lock at raised seams with no exposed fasteners — the premium residential system. Concealed fasteners eliminate a primary leak point and accommodate thermal movement. A clean, architectural look on any style of home.

Corrugated metal

Cost-effective and highly durable Galvalume or pre-coated steel panels with weather-resistant finishes. Widely used on rural properties, lakeshore cottages and contemporary homes.

Metal shingles

The performance of metal in a traditional shingle look — profiles resembling asphalt, cedar shakes or slate. Most systems carry 40–50 year warranties, ideal for established neighbourhoods.

Cost overview

System	Typical cost range	Lifespan	Maintenance cycle
Metal shingles	$18,000–$30,000	40–50 years	Inspect every 5 years
Corrugated metal	$15,000–$28,000	30–50 years	Inspect every 5 years
Standing seam	$24,000–$45,000+	50–70 years	Inspect every 10 years

Frequently asked questions

How much does a metal roof cost in Ontario?

Metal roofing ranges from $15,000 to $45,000+ depending on system, home size and complexity. Written quotes are provided at no charge.

Are metal roofs loud in the rain?

No — modern residential installations over solid decking produce no more noise than asphalt shingles, and attic insulation further dampens sound.

Does a metal roof increase home value in Ontario?

Yes — metal roofs are a recognized premium feature adding 1–6% to resale value (Appraisal Institute of Canada), and can be decisive for buyers who value a long maintenance horizon.

Can a metal roof handle Ontario’s snow loads?

Metal sheds snow efficiently before it accumulates to structural-load levels — one of its key advantages over asphalt in high-snowfall areas like Barrie, Muskoka and Huntsville.

How long does metal roof installation take?

Most residential metal roofing projects complete in 2–3 days depending on system complexity and roof size.
