Our project was started on time and despite some terrible weather, it was finished on time. The team installing the roof was also very professional, kept the area clean and were very hard working. The roof looks fantastic. We a very pleased with the finished product. I would definitely recommend this company. Thanks Tony.

I contacted several companies about installing a metal roof and getting rid of my shingle roof. I was impressed with how quickly AMT responded and they asked for my information and needs and got a quote prepared very quickly for me. The process to go from quote to roof replacement was also very easy. Tony communicated very clear timeline about how long to order materials and have everything done. The materials arrived quicker than expected and the replacement was scheduled quickly and even better was able to be done while I was away on a weekend trip so nothing about it disrupted my day!! It looks great and the colour is a fantastic match to the colour of my existing garage metal roof. I also love that they take e-transfer payments so the payment process was also super simple. The work was done very neatly, all waste was in the bin and the bin was removed quickly too. Very happy with this company.

I highly recommend AMT. Tony was extremely fast in responding to my initial questions, coming out to do an estimate (and we live out of town) and the work started exactly when he said it would. The roofers were super friendly, hard working, and efficient and they finished the job faster than was originally estimated. The finished product is exactly what we hoped for and they left our property spotless when they left. You will not be disappointed hiring Tony and his team.

Excellent service and communication. Tony and his team were amazing from start to finish. Turn around time was very quick too. We had three structures to do and they finished them all in five days. My husband and I are extremely happy with the finished result. We highly recommend this company.

After carefully evaluating different options , we selected ATM to install a new metal roof and replaced the older cedar roof. We couldn't be happier with choice. Our new roof looks great in style and our house looks more beautiful. Tony, the manager is very knowledgeable and responsive to answer all of our questions. The installation went smoothly and ahead of the schedule. The entire installation team showed very high level of experience and great professionalism. They were very polite, organized and cleaned up thoroughly each day and after the final project. We are very happy with AMT's work and would recommend to anyone who need a durable and beautiful new roof !

What causes rooftop avalanches?

During a snowstorm as snow piles up on the roof, the sunlight is occluded from the roof, and snowpack is retained on the roof by two different bonds. There is a temperature-sensitive frictional bond between the blanket of snow and the roof.

There’s also a cohesive bond up at the ridge. One blanket on either side of the ridge co hearing to each other. And it’s a combination of those two bands that are resisting the drag load or gravity load of the snow, which is trying to slide off the roof. So, there are both frictions involved as well as a cohesive bond.

If the vector forces that drag load exceed the strength of those two bonds, then the avalanche will occur. So, what happens is the next day when the storm is dissipated, and the sun comes out, the sun’s rays shining through the slightly translucent snow warms the roof surface under this snowbank.

When the surface heats up, this temperature-sensitive friction lining is released. This bond is not only released, but the roof is also lubricated with meltwater. The entire drag load now is experienced by the cohesive bond at the ridge, which is too weak, and thus, the avalanche occurs.

Is this a particular concern on metal roofs?

Well, metal roofing is a good choice in any climate because of its durability and expected service life of more than 50 years. Notably, a characteristic of the metal is that it has a low coefficient of friction. So, in simple terms, it’s a slippery slope, and due to this, snow and ice are prone to sliding off unexpectedly. While this may seem to many people to be a desirable thing, it can also be a nuisance and even a danger.

Snow guards must be installed on a metal roof to prevent snow avalanches and sudden snow falls.

How do snow guards work on a metal roof?

When snow guards are installed on an inclined metal roof, they serve as anchors and prevent snow sheets from skidding off the roof. In addition, snow guards not only help to evenly distribute the weight of ice and snow on the roof but also assist in preventing possible damage or accidents that may result from the sudden fall of the snow sheets.

If you are looking for durable and affordable snow guards for metal roofs in Edmonton, we offer our custom made galvanized steel and pre-painted steel, both of which are available in standard thicknesses of 24, 26 inches, and many other sizes.

Hail and fire resistantStan Plakhtiy2022-07-26T00:59:02+00:00

Hail and fire resistant

When events that are out of your control hit your home or building, it’s stressful. Luckily, metal roofing is a solution for this stress. A hail storm that would have destroyed your shingle roof won’t even dent up your metal tiles, and fire resistant metal means you’re less likely to lose your home if your neighbour’s house goes up in flames.

Maintenance freeStan Plakhtiy2022-07-26T00:58:03+00:00

Maintenance free

Maintaining a shingle roof can be exhausting. You don’t want to invest your time in the fix-ups and maintenance, but you have no choice. And if you don’t take the time, you’ll have to spend more money on replacement in a few years. All of these worries are completely removed with a metal roof. You’ll never have to break out the ladder and climb up to your roof again!

Adds value to your home or buildingStan Plakhtiy2022-07-26T01:00:50+00:00

Adds value to your home or building

People pay more for quality and reliability. The same is true when you add a metal roof to your house. Plus, AMT Metal Roofing warranties are fully transferable. That means when you sell your home or building, the roofing warranty transfers to the new owner. Buyers will feel more comfortable making a purchase decision when they know their investment is protected from the top, down.

Reduces your insurance ratesStan Plakhtiy2022-07-26T01:00:42+00:00

Reduces your insurance rates

Insurance companies base their premiums on risk factors. Metal roofing lowers the risk to your home or building, which in turn lowers your insurance premiums. Always be sure to update your insurance company once the AMT Metal Roofing team has completed your new roof so you can enjoy great savings on your insurance for decades to come.

Environmentally friendlyStan Plakhtiy2022-07-26T01:00:28+00:00

Environmentally friendly

AMT Metal Roofing’s products are environmentally friendly and sustainable. You won’t get shingles blowing away to become garbage in your yard and community, and you won’t have to head to the landfill with your old shingles. Our metal roofing is completely recyclable, and is made using recycled metal. We’re committed to making a positive impact on our world and helping our clients reduce their carbon footprints.

Insulates betterStan Plakhtiy2022-07-26T01:00:22+00:00

Insulates better

While asphalt shingles draw in and store heat and cold, metal tiles expel heat and cold quickly. This means a more even temperature inside all year round, even in Alberta’s rapidly shifting weather. Of course, better insulation also means more money saved on heating and air conditioning! You’ll feel a big difference in your utility bills each month.

No more moldStan Plakhtiy2022-07-26T01:00:16+00:00

No more mold

Mold is caused by water, and thanks to a watertight seal in your metal tiles, there won’t be water collecting under your roof. Plus, a ventilated air space between your roof and ceiling mean any moisture can evaporate easily. This means you won’t have to worry about mold breaking down your roof and ruining your home. Breathe easier and safer under a roof that won’t endanger your family or pets, and won’t cause damage.
