Metal Roofing in Angus, ON
Durable steel and standing seam metal roofs built to handle Ontario winters and last decades.
Why Metal Roofing Works in Angus
Metal roofs handle snow load better than shingles. They shed ice fast, cut down on heat loss, and don't crack when temperatures swing from -20 to +30. We install standing seam, corrugated steel, and aluminum panels across Angus and into Barrie. You're looking at 40-60 years of service life if it's done right.
Steel roofing costs more upfront than asphalt, but you won't replace it in 15 years. Insurance companies sometimes knock a bit off your premium because metal doesn't catch fire. If you're tired of patching shingles every spring, a metal roof makes sense. We can walk you through panel profiles, colours, and what fits your budget.
Standing Seam vs. Exposed Fastener Panels
Standing seam panels lock together with hidden clips. No screws poke through the surface, so you don't get leaks around fasteners 10 years down the road. It's the cleanest look and the longest-lasting option. Most residential jobs in Angus go this route. Exposed fastener panels cost less and work fine for garages, sheds, or budget-conscious projects, but you'll need to check and reseal screws every few years.
We stock both. Standing seam runs about 30-40% more than exposed fastener, but the labour's similar. If you're doing a full Roof Replacement, the extra cost spreads out over decades. We'll measure your roof, show you samples, and give you a fixed price before we start.
Installation Process and Timeline
We strip off old shingles if needed, check the decking for rot, and install synthetic underlayment. Then we snap chalk lines, set the drip edge, and start running panels from one rake to the other. Standing seam panels get clipped down; exposed fastener panels get screwed through the ridges. Ridge caps, valleys, and flashings go on last. A typical house in Angus takes 2-4 days depending on roof complexity and weather.
Metal roofing doesn't like to be walked on carelessly, so we use walk pads and move carefully. If you've got skylights, chimneys, or dormers, we fabricate custom flashing on site. Once it's done, you've got a roof that'll outlast you. We also handle Roof Repair if you've got an older metal roof that just needs a few panels swapped or fasteners tightened.
Colours, Finishes, and Warranty
Most manufacturers offer 20-30 colours with a baked-on finish that won't fade for decades. Charcoal, slate grey, and barn red are popular in Alliston and Angus. Bare galvalume (silver) costs less and still lasts forever, but it's shiny. We can order matte finishes if you want something low-key. Paint warranties run 30-40 years; the steel itself is good for 50+.
We warranty our labour for 10 years. If a panel blows off or a seam leaks because we didn't install it right, we fix it at no charge. Manufacturer defects are covered separately. Keep your invoice and warranty card - you won't need them, but it's smart to have them filed away.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a metal roof cost in Angus?
Standing seam metal roofing runs $12-$18 per square foot installed, so a typical 2,000 sq ft roof costs $24,000-$36,000. Exposed fastener panels are cheaper, around $8-$12 per square foot. Price depends on panel type, roof pitch, and how many valleys and penetrations you've got. We give free quotes with a fixed price before we start.
Is metal roofing louder than shingles when it rains?
Not if it's installed over solid decking with underlayment. You might hear a faint patter during heavy rain, but it's not like a tin shed. The insulation in your attic dampens most of the sound. If noise is a concern, we can add extra underlayment or sound-deadening material, but most people don't bother.
Can you install metal roofing over existing shingles?
Sometimes, but we don't recommend it. Building code in Ontario allows one layer of shingles under metal if the decking's solid, but you lose the chance to inspect and fix rotten plywood. Tearing off the old roof adds a day of labour and a dumpster fee, but you know what you're building on top of. We'll check your decking and tell you what makes sense.
