Affordable Metal Roofing

 

Metal roofing in Canada is gaining popularity among homeowners seeking eco-friendly, long-lasting roofing solutions.

It is likely far more affordable than you think to install metal roof panels for your home or business property. Metal roofing is already a common material applied to residential homes, cottages, farms, businesses, and industrial facilities. There are endless possibilities with metal roofing, with variances in shape, color, and aesthetics. The cost variance is also something to know, as metal roof panels can be different gauge, design, and type costing more or less to produce and install, just like any material.

With metal roofing, what you're not getting is a disposable roof. Most homes that have installed roofing, for decades, opted for shingles. While inexpensive in upfront cost, shingles break apart and degrade quite quickly. In essence, shingles will do the trick for a time but they will eventually completely give out and expose your roof. In the interim, a shingled roof can look rather messy. Metal, however, once installed, is a permanent roofing solution that requires very little maintenance and upkeep, and that can be kept looking spectacular for years to come. Don't let the initial cost of a metal roof fool you. As it lasts decades longer than asphalt, you'll save hundreds of dollars on roofing costs in the years to come while improving curb appeal and property value.

Cost Comparison between Metal Roofing and Shingles

While the initial investment of a metal roof is more than what you would pay for traditional asphalt shingles, the advantage of metal roofing is that it lasts significantly longer and is far economical option in a long run.
 
Shingles will need to be replaced 4 to times, depending on type (basic vs. architectural) within 50-year span, which is how long metal roofing will last. This means the cost of shingles will multiply in a matter of years because the job will have to be redone. Metal, however, when it comes to roofing, can last 45-55 years, saving you time and money over time. Another advantage to metal roofing is that it can be installed over existing shingles, even if those shingles are old and damaged, thereby saving you the cost of removing old roofing material.

Metal roofing thoroughly protects your property without fail, capable of handling weather and climate in a way that a shingled roof cannot. In terms of long-term costs, metal roofing is better, more environmental and less expensive solution.

Metal Roofing cost per sq ft

The precise cost per sq. ft. for metal roofing varies. A lot of it will depend on whether the roofing material is aluminum or steel. The type of roof you are looking to add to your home can also increase the overall cost per sq. ft. depending on how it's installed. You also need to consider difficulty of the roof and colour selected  (regular vs. Premium).

There are also different metal roofing products, including metal shingles, metal panels, and standing seam. A standing seam metal roof is the most economical option, though is rarer to pick for residential application. Most homeowners and property owners opt for metal panels in steel. Ultimately, to calculate how affordable metal roofing is for your property, one has to work with a metal roofing company and receive an estimate tailored to the architectural design of the home. Besides the cost of metal one has to include the cost of wood for shimming, breathable membrane, accessories and cost of installation.

In almost all cases, you can expect to pay more upfront for metal roofing than shingles, but again, it's comparing a disposable solution to a permanent one
