Why more and more homeowners are choosing metal
A metal roof costs more to install than asphalt shingles, but its 40 to 60-year service life often makes it the more economical choice across the lifetime of a property — a single metal system can outlast two or three generations of asphalt shingles.
Beyond longevity, metal offers a concrete advantage in our climate: snow slides off naturally rather than piling up and melting then refreezing at the roof edge, which substantially reduces the risk of ice dams compared with asphalt shingles.
Why choose a metal roof
Natural snow shedding
The smooth surface lets snow slide off, reducing load and ice dams.
Exceptional service life
40 to 60 years depending on the system, against 20 to 30 for a standard asphalt shingle.
Fire resistance
Metal is non-combustible, something several home insurers recognise.
Energy efficiency
Light finishes reflect solar heat and cut air conditioning use in summer.
Metal profiles we offer
The right profile depends on your property's architecture.

What to know before going with metal
The myth of noise in the rain
Contrary to a widespread belief, a modern metal roof installed over a solid deck with proper underlayment and insulation is no noisier than a shingle roof. The perception of noise comes mainly from older installations laid directly on open trusses with no continuous deck — a method we do not use.
Snow management: an advantage worth controlling
The same smooth surface that sheds snow well can also release it all at once at the roof edge, which matters above entrances and walkways. Strategically placed snow guards let you control that release and avoid unpleasant surprises.
Steel gauge makes the difference
Not all metal systems are equal: the thickness of the steel and the quality of the anticorrosion coating directly influence the system's real service life, well beyond its initial appearance. We favour gauges suited to the snow loads of Greater Montreal.
Fitting the existing architecture
Standing seam suits steep pitches and contemporary or country styles particularly well, while crimped sheet harmonises better with more traditional homes. We talk this through with you based on your property's style.
Indicative price for a metal roof
Cost depends mainly on surface area, the metal profile chosen and the complexity of the framing. It is a higher investment than asphalt shingles up front, but amortised over a service life two to three times longer.

Frequently asked questions — Metal Roofing
Clear answers to the questions we get asked most about this service.
How does a metal roof compare in cost to asphalt shingles?
A metal roof generally costs 2 to 3 times more to install than asphalt shingles, but its 40 to 60-year service life often makes it the better value across a property's full lifetime.
Is a metal roof really noisy in the rain?
No, not when it is installed correctly over a continuous deck with proper underlayment. The perception of noise comes mainly from older installations laid directly on an open structure.
Does snow slide off a metal roof dangerously?
The smooth surface sheds snow well, which reduces load, but it can release suddenly above entrances. Strategically placed snow guards manage that risk effectively.
How long does a metal roof last in Quebec?
A quality metal system, properly installed, generally lasts 40 to 60 years depending on the steel gauge and finish chosen — considerably longer than asphalt shingles.
Can a metal roof go on any slope?
Metal suits medium to steep slopes particularly well. For very flat roofs an elastomeric membrane generally remains more appropriate — we advise based on your roof's actual configuration.
