FAQs
Does a metal roof cost more than a traditional roof?
Yes, however, you should note that upfront cost doesn’t mean a lot when it comes to long-term benefits. Consider the extra cost as a lifetime investment you are making for your home and business. Fewer maintenance needs and longer lifespan of metal roofs mean that you will be spending significantly less time and money on repairs and replacements for decades to come. Metal roofs eventually end up paying for themselves!
Will a metal roof rust over time?
Our top quality metal shingles are made of 29-gauge galvanized steel, which is known to inhibit rusting. Also, the combination of zinc and aluminum coating during production make our metal roofing materials extremely resistant to rust and decay.
Will a metal roof last longer than common roofing products such as asphalt and wood?
Not even worth a comparison! Asphalt and wood roofing materials immediately start deteriorating as soon as they are installed, and are only expected to last between 12 to 17 years on average. From a home owner’s viewpoint, these types of roofing offer no benefits whatsoever. Our steel products are engineered to last a lifetime and we are happy to offer up to 40-year lifetime warranties for all of our services.
Will I save money on utilities?
Absolutely! A sturdy metal roofing system in place is a fantastic way to control the temperature of your home and business. Our metal shingles are coated with BASF technology with a reflective pigment that helps regulate temperature at ideal levels in an eco-friendly way.
Can I customize a metal roof to fit my home or business?
Of course you can! Our beautiful selection of metal roofing products is designed to not only keep your building protected all year round, but also provide a sleek, modern, and attractive look that perfectly fits your taste in design. We offer a wide variety of colour and texture options that are resistant to peels, scratches, and cracks.
How much rain noise can we expect on a metal roof?
Our metal roofing products are textured in order to avoid much of the noise created by rain hitting the roof. Our steel roofing normally does not create any objectionable noise during rainstorms, although attic air space and ventilation might have an impact on sound absorption.
How does a steel roof handle hail?
Our metal shingles are heavily-textured in order to add sturdiness and prepare your roof to take on the harshest weather conditions. Our products carry the ul 2218 Class IV impact resistance rating, which is the highest rating available for commercial roofing products. If there are any damages to your metal roof after a severe storm, we can easily cap over the damaged parts with a new panel installed on top.
