Jackie B.Hamilton, ON

Less than 3 days after your installation team had completed putting on our new Rustic Metal Shingle Roof on our home, summertime temperatures took off in Southern Ontario, and for several days were well into the 30’s. We are extremely pleased to tell you that our new Classic Metal Roof protected us from the heat, exactly as promised!

Metal Roofing in Hamilton has become a popular permanent roofing option in almost every neighbourhood. From Gage Park to The Mountain there is a wide variety of architectural styles represented and metal roofs to suit each style. But did you know that not all metal roofs are created equal? Historically the first metal roofs were made from exotic metals like zinc and copper. Often used for churches and government buildings, these roofs were chosen for their unmatched longevity and beauty. Exotic metal roofs are very expensive which is why steel and aluminum roofing products have become the most popular residential metal roofing options.

Steel vs Aluminum Roofing

There are many metal roof products available for homeowners in the Hamilton area. Steel, because of it’s abundance and low cost has been the most widely used roofing base metal (substrate), especially for industrial and agricultural roofing applications. However, over the past couple of decades, aluminum products designed for residential use have made huge gains in popularity. Proven to be the most cost effective and maintenance-free solution over the long term, aluminum will never rust.
