FAQs

Why should I choose a stylish metal roof upgrade for my Kingston home?

Metal roofing offers exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and modern curb appeal. In Kingston’s four-season climate, it resists heavy snow loads, high winds off Lake Ontario, and summer temperature swings. A metal roof can last 40–70 years, far outpacing asphalt shingles, and many profiles mimic slate, cedar, or standing-seam styles to enhance the look of any home.

How does a metal roof handle Kingston’s winter snow and ice?

Metal panels shed snow quickly because of their smooth surface and integrated snow-guard systems. This minimizes ice-dam formation and reduces weight stress on your roof structure. Most metal roofs are also designed to withstand wind uplift ratings of 150–200 km/h, crucial for lake-effect blizzards common to the Kingston area.

Is a metal roof noisy during rain or hail storms?

Not when installed correctly. A professional installer adds solid sheathing and underlayment between the metal panels and roof deck, which dampens sound. Indoors, you’ll notice little difference compared to asphalt shingles—just the reassuring knowledge that your roof is tougher than ever.

What is the cost of upgrading to metal roofing, and will it save me money?

Installed costs in Kingston generally range from $10 to $18 per square foot, depending on profile, colour, and complexity. Although upfront expense is higher than asphalt, metal’s longevity means you avoid two or even three re-roof cycles. Energy savings of 10–25 % from high-reflectivity coatings and potential home-insurance discounts also help offset the investment.

Can a metal roof be installed over my existing shingles?

Often, yes. Many metal systems are engineered for direct-over-shingle installation if the deck is sound and local code permits, reducing tear-off waste and labour. Our team performs a thorough inspection to verify structural integrity and ventilation before recommending this approach.

What kind of warranty and maintenance does a metal roof require?

Most manufacturers provide 30–50-year material warranties with a separate workmanship guarantee from certified installers. Maintenance is minimal: keep gutters clear, trim overhanging branches, and schedule an inspection after severe weather. Metal panels resist moss, algae, and rot, so you’ll spend less time and money on upkeep compared to traditional roofing.
