Metal Roofing in Dundas

The most common concern is improper installation — not the material itself. When installed by inexperienced contractors, metal roofs can develop issues like oil canning (waviness), fastener failures, or inadequate flashing. That's why choosing certified metal roofing installers matters. Properly installed metal roofs are virtually problem-free for 40–70 years.

Metal roofing costs more upfront ($15,000–$35,000+ vs. $8,000–$20,000 for asphalt), but is significantly cheaper over time. While you'll replace asphalt shingles 2–3 times over 50 years, a metal roof lasts 40–70 years with minimal maintenance. Factor in energy savings (up to 25% on cooling), insurance discounts, and zero re-roofing costs, and metal typically saves $20,000–$40,000 over its lifespan.

No, metal roofs don't affect indoor WiFi. Your router signals travel through walls, windows, and interior spaces — not through the roof. Cell signals from towers are also unaffected since they enter through windows and walls. If you had WiFi issues before, a metal roof won't make them worse. If you rely on satellite internet, the dish mounts on top of the metal roof with no interference.

Yes, especially in Dundas and the Hamilton region. Metal roofing is ideal for southern Ontario's climate: it sheds snow naturally (eliminating ice dams), withstands strong winds, resists fire and hail, and lasts 40–70 years. It's the last roof most homeowners ever install. If you plan to stay in your home long-term or want to maximize resale value, metal roofing is an excellent investment.

Most residential metal roof installations in Dundas take 2–5 days, depending on roof size, complexity, and the metal system chosen. Standing seam installations require more precision and may take slightly longer than metal shingles. We keep you updated daily and ensure proper weatherproofing at every stage.

Yes, metal roofing can be installed year-round. Unlike asphalt shingles that require warm temperatures for proper sealing, metal panels fasten mechanically and don't rely on adhesive strips. We take extra precautions for crew safety on icy surfaces, but Ontario winters don't prevent metal roof installations when conditions allow safe work.

We install all major metal roofing systems: standing seam (sleek, modern look with hidden fasteners), steel roofing (durable and cost-effective), aluminum roofing (lightweight and corrosion-resistant), metal shingles (traditional appearance with metal durability), and stone-coated steel (textured finish resembling tile or shake). We'll help you choose the best option for your home's style and budget.

We provide a lifetime workmanship warranty on our installations plus manufacturer warranties of 40–70 years depending on the metal system. Paint and finish warranties typically cover 25–40 years against fading, chalking, and peeling. All warranty details, registration steps, and coverage specifics are included with your quote for complete transparency.

No — modern metal roofs are no louder than asphalt. Metal roofing is installed over solid sheathing and underlayment, with attic insulation providing additional sound dampening. You won't hear rain any more than with traditional roofing. The "tin roof" noise myth comes from old barns and sheds with metal installed directly over open rafters.

Permit requirements vary by municipality in the region. Some localities don't require permits for straightforward re-roofing, but others may when changing materials (asphalt to metal) or on heritage properties. If your project involves structural modifications or special regulations, we'll advise you and can handle required paperwork.
