Standing-Seam vs Exposed-Fastener
Standing-seam hides its fasteners under the panel for the cleanest look and the fewest leak points — ideal for homes. Exposed-fastener panels cost less and suit shops and outbuildings. We'll match the system to the building and your budget.
Why Metal for Calgary Snow & Hail
Metal sheds snow load instead of holding it, won't crack in deep freeze-thaw cycles, and quality steel resists hail denting far better than aging shingles. It's a longer-term investment that pays off over decades.
Our Process
We assess slope and structure, recommend the right gauge and profile, and install with proper clips and flashing so the roof moves with temperature swings without leaking. Every install is done by our own journeyman crew.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a metal roof too loud in the rain?
No — over a solid deck with underlayment, a modern metal roof is no louder than shingles. The 'tin roof' sound comes from open-frame installs over purlins.
Can you install metal over my existing shingles?
Sometimes, if the deck is sound — but we usually recommend a tear-off so we can inspect and repair the deck. We'll tell you what your roof actually needs.
How long does a metal roof last?
A quality metal roof can last 40–50+ years in Calgary, often outlasting the home's other systems.
