A metal roof can be a strong choice when you want a long lasting roofing system with minimal routine maintenance and reliable protection against Southwestern Ontario weather.
Metal roofing generally requires a higher initial investment than asphalt shingles. However, it can reduce how often the roof needs to be replaced and may provide greater long term value for homeowners planning to remain in their property.
The condition of the roof deck, roof slope, ventilation, existing roofing layers and number of roof penetrations will help determine whether metal roofing is suitable for your home.
With proper installation and ventilation, a shingle roof can last 20 to 30 years, providing dependable protection against leaks, curling, and blow-offs.
Metal roofing is available in several profiles and fastening systems. Cheshire Roofing can recommend an option based on your building, preferred appearance and budget.
Standing seam roofing uses long metal panels joined by raised vertical seams. The fasteners are concealed beneath the panels, creating a clean appearance and reducing the number of exposed attachment points.
Standing seam is well suited to homeowners who want a modern architectural roof with strong water shedding performance.
Steel shingles provide the durability of metal while maintaining the familiar appearance of traditional roofing.
Available profiles can resemble dimensional asphalt shingles, slate or cedar shakes. Steel shingles are a good option for homeowners who want the benefits of metal without the appearance of long vertical panels.
Agricultural steel uses profiled metal panels with exposed fasteners. It is commonly installed on barns, garages, sheds, workshops and agricultural buildings.
It can provide an economical solution for covering larger roof areas when properly fastened and flashed.
A quality metal roof can provide decades of service when the correct materials are properly installed and maintained.
Its actual lifespan will depend on the metal, protective coating, installation system, weather exposure and ongoing maintenance.
Metal roofing is designed to shed rain and snow efficiently. It can provide dependable protection against wind driven rain, winter snow, ice and changing temperatures.
Snow guards may be recommended above entrances, sidewalks, decks and driveways where sliding snow could create a hazard.
Painted and coated metal roofing can reflect some of the sun’s energy rather than absorbing it into the roof surface.
The overall energy performance of the home will also depend on roof colour, insulation, attic ventilation and the complete roofing assembly.
Metal roofing is available in traditional and contemporary colours. Homeowners can choose smooth panels, ribbed profiles or dimensional steel shingles that complement the home’s brick, siding, soffit, fascia and eavestroughs.
Asphalt shingles generally have a lower initial cost and are available in many colours and styles. They can also be easier to repair in small sections when matching shingles remain available.
Metal roofing normally requires a larger initial investment but may provide a longer service life, reduced replacement frequency and lower maintenance requirements.
Cheshire Roofing can inspect your roof and help you compare metal roofing with asphalt shingle roofing before you decide.
We inspect the existing roofing, roof slope, flashing, valleys, penetrations, drainage, ventilation and visible roof deck condition.
We help you compare standing seam panels, steel shingles and agricultural steel based on your property, design preferences and budget.
Damaged decking, active leaks, soft areas and unsuitable roofing materials must be addressed before the new roof is installed.
The required underlayment, attachment method and ventilation strategy will depend on the selected metal roofing system and existing roof assembly.
Panels or shingles are installed with the fastening system specified for the product. Flashing is completed around eaves, ridges, valleys, walls, chimneys, vents and other penetrations.
The property is cleaned after installation, and the completed roof is reviewed with the customer.
Metal roofing can sometimes be installed over existing asphalt shingles, but an overlay is not suitable for every roof.
The condition and number of existing roofing layers must be considered. Uneven shingles can affect the finished installation, while hidden roof deck damage may remain undiscovered when the old roofing is not removed.
Cheshire Roofing will inspect the existing roof before recommending an overlay or complete tear off.
The cost of a metal roof depends on the selected system, roof size, pitch, number of storeys and project accessibility.
Removal of existing roofing, roof deck repairs, valleys, dormers, chimneys, skylights, custom flashing, snow guards and ventilation improvements can also affect the estimate.
A roof assessment is required to provide an accurate price.
A residential metal roof should not sound like the exposed roof of a barn or open shed.
Metal roofing on a home is typically installed over solid roof decking, underlayment and an insulated attic or ceiling assembly. These components reduce sound transmission during rain and hail.
Metal roofing requires relatively little maintenance, but it should still be inspected periodically.
An inspection can identify damaged flashing, deteriorated sealants, exposed fastener concerns, scratched coatings, debris accumulation and problems around vents or chimneys.
Eavestroughs should remain clear, and nearby trees should be trimmed where branches could scrape the metal surface.
Cheshire Roofing provides residential, commercial and industrial roofing services throughout Sarnia and Lambton County.
We handle roof inspections, repairs, replacements and new installations. Our team provides clear recommendations based on the property, selected roofing system and project requirements.
Related soffit, fascia, eavestrough and ventilation work can also be coordinated when those components need to be updated with the roof.
