How Much Does a Steel Roof Cost?
Hy-Grade Steel Roofs offer great value for your investment. The cost depends on factors like the size of your roof, its slope, the design of the roof, and any extras like vents.
While a Hy-Grade Steel Roof may cost more upfront than a standard asphalt roof, it saves you money in the long run. Why? Asphalt roofs often need repairs or replacements after just 12 years, while Hy-Grade Steel Roofs come with a 50-year warranty. That’s one steel roof compared to four asphalt ones!
Why Choose Hy-Grade?
1. A Roof That Lasts a Lifetime
We’ve been perfecting our steel roofing system since 1988, installing over 18,000 roofs across Ontario—that’s over 33 million square feet! Backed by our 50-Year No-Leak Warranty, this will be the last roof you ever buy.
2. High-Quality Materials
- 26-Gauge Steel with 4-Mil PVC Coating: The toughest coating on the market. It moves with the steel during temperature changes and won’t crack, chip, or peel—even during the manufacturing process or installation. It is the only coating used in metal roofing that can endure a 180 degree bend, and not crack. When the trim pieces go through the manufacturing process and the customization for your roof on site, the coating must be able to withstand a 180 degree bend. The coating on a metal roof is extremely important for the longevity. Learn more about barrier series coatings here.http://www.baycoat.com/resources.html
- Engineered for Expansion and Contraction: Steel expands when warm and contracts when cold. Our patented expansion socket lets each panel move naturally without stressing the fasteners. This means no cracks, no leaks—just reliable performance in every season.
3. Double Roof Strapping: Built to Protect
We install double strapping before laying our steel shakes. This creates an air gap that:
- Keeps your home cooler in the summer.
- Prevents moisture buildup and protects your roof deck.
- Levels out dips or sags, improving curb appeal.
The double strapping also allows every piece of metal to expand and contract freely, so there’s no stress on fasteners and no risk of leaks.
4. Its What’s Inside That Counts
Underneath the visible shakes, your Hy-Grade roof is packed with trim that has been designed to endure temperature changes and make sure water and snow shed to your eave. Our system may look like some others, but it truly is different. For example, a valley is where to downward sloping roof surfaces meet. The valley therefore collects alot of water, snow and debris (from trees ect). Most competitors will use a pan, and cut the shakes that end at the valley to sit in the pan. If that pan becomes clogged with roof debris the water will overflow onto your roof deck, and potentially end up in your attic. Our Valley system has 7 parts, a basic pan, a bottom valley pan, inner valleys and a cap. They add multiple layers of protection against water reaching your roof deck. Every one of our trim pieces adds layers of protection against leaks. Ask our roofing consultants about the other components.
5. Expert Installation and Quality Control
Our installers are factory-trained and certified to meet our high standards. Once your roof is installed, our separate quality control team inspects it to ensure it meets every detail of our rigorous guidelines. That’s why we confidently offer a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty in addition to our 50-Year No-Leak Promise.
If you need support later—like adding a vent or removing a chimney—our Service Team is always here to help.
6. Proudly Local
We manufacture our roofing system in Guelph, supporting local businesses and families across the province.
Our steel comes from Hamilton, Ontario, so you know it’s high-quality and built to last.
7. A Family Business You Can Trust
