Metal Roofing Edmonton

Metal roofing is incredibly durable and is designed to outlast most other roofing systems. The average asphalt shingles roof is expected to last anywhere between 10 and 20 years. Exposure to harsh Canadian weather conditions can drastically impact the longevity of shingles. Rubber roofs have a longer expected life span than asphalt shingles, however, the durability is also heavily influenced by maintenance and exposure. Other higher end roofing materials, such as cedar shakes, have an expected life of 25-30 years.

Metal roofs, on the other hand, are a maintenance free alternative. You can expect to get anywhere between 40 and 60 years of exceptional performance, with the additional benefit of a 50 year warranty. Though the upfront cost of metal roofing is generally higher than most other materials, the longevity and durability of the product makes them a highly-cost effective investment.

The unique design of metal roofing paired with our professional installation process makes metal roofing systems almost as quiet as other roofing systems when it rains or hails. Our metal roofs are always installed on a roof deck that features an underlayment. Furthermore, your roof insulation acts as a sound barrier to keep your house quieter. These additional layers of materials between the roof and the rest of your home serve to reduce overall noise pollution (and improve energy efficiency, too).

Yes! One of the greatest advantages of metal roofing systems is that they are fire and hail resistant. In fact, they feature the maximum value of hail resistance – UL Class 4 – as well as a Class A fire rating.
