FAQ

How long does a metal roof last?
Metal roofs typically last 40-50 years, which is 3 times longer than traditional asphalt shingles. Our Ontario installations come with a 35-year manufacturer warranty.

Is metal roofing more expensive than asphalt?
While the initial cost is higher, metal roofs save money long-term. You'll avoid 2-3 roof replacements and benefit from energy savings of 20-30% on cooling costs.

Will metal roofing make my home noisier during rain?
No, when properly installed with solid decking and insulation, metal roofs are no louder than other roofing materials. Many customers notice no difference.

Can you install metal roofing over my existing shingles?
Yes — in most cases there’s no need to tear off your existing shingles. We install a double strapping system, with one layer of planks running horizontally and a second layer running vertically, which creates a solid, level base for the metal panels and a ventilated air gap above your old roof. We also include a protective membrane as part of every installation, which guards against condensation and keeps moisture from getting trapped underneath. This approach saves you the cost and mess of a full tear-off while still protecting the roof and maintaining long-term performance.

How does metal roofing handle Ontario winters?
Our roofs are specifically engineered for Canadian winters. The smooth surface sheds snow easily, prevents ice dams, and withstands freeze-thaw cycles better than asphalt.

What maintenance does a metal roof need?
Very little - just occasional debris removal and checking sealants every few years. We offer free annual inspections to catch any minor issues early.

Do metal roofs attract lightning?
No, metal roofs don't increase lightning risk. If struck, they safely disperse energy. Your home's risk is determined by height and location, not roofing material.

How quickly can you install a new metal roof?
Most residential projects take 2-4 days depending on size and complexity. We'll provide a precise timeline during your free estimate.

What payment options do you offer?
We accept all major payment methods and offer financing plans with 0% interest options for qualified customers. All terms are explained upfront.

Can I walk on my metal roof?
While durable, walking on metal roofs should be left to professionals with proper safety equipment to avoid damage. We include free maintenance inspections in our warranty.
