Why Our Roofing System?
Established in 1988, a family run business, we have prided ourselves on perfecting our permanent steel roofing system. Manufactured in Guelph, Ontario and covering the majority of the province we’ve installed over 18,000 roofs! That’s over 33 million square feet of our roofing system. We whole heartedly believe in our system. So Why our roofing system?
Roofing failures occur unless the steel roofing system is designed with the natural and normal metal expansion and contraction process in mind. Expansion and contraction happens with temperature changes, not just between seasons but between day and night as well. Steel, like most materials, will contract when its cold and expand when it is warm. This natural movement can put stress on the fasteners if the system is not designed with expansion and contraction in mind.
Our engineered design allows for a natural movement along with shedding water and snow. Our expansion socket allows our roofing panels (we call them shakes) to expand and contract without putting ANY stress on the fastener.
We use nails in our shakes for their shear strength. When you build a home, it is built with nails for the same reason. Even though our system is a premium roofing solution, we work hard to keep it affordable for home owners.
We are so confident in our system that every roof we install comes standard with a 50 year no leak warranty. Unlike warranties from other companies, ours is never prorated and has unlimited owner transfers. So – even if you sell your home or pass it onto your children, the new owners are fully covered for the remaining life of the warranty.
We then back that up with our lifetime workmanship warranty. That means exactly what it says; the workmanship is warrantied literally forever. We hand-pick every installer and then train them to our rigorous standards so we can confidently stand behind our work.
Keep asphalt out of landfills and even more environmental benefits.
We eliminate landfill waste by installing over your existing asphalt roofs. With one Hy-Grade steel roof lasting as long as four asphalt roofs, we prevent at least eight tonnes of waste. No more landfill waste!
