Step One- Assessment

Firstly, one of our metal roofing contractors will assess your property, needs and taste. Different options will be provided including a range of over 20 different colours for you to choose from.

Step Two – Measurement

You will need enough metal material to cover the entire roof. We measure the full size of your roof in square feet.

Although some contractors may measure the size of the roof from the ground, it’s far more effective and efficient to measure it from on top of the roof itself. This is how we carry out our measurements and how we keep your costs down.

Once we’ve arrived at a total square foot estimate we can then provide you with amount and costs involved. Once we’re all on the same page, a deposit is paid and we can order the materials.

Step Three – Removal of old roof

We need to remove the old roof. We try to do this on a dry and sunny day in order to minimize the chance of any water or moisture damage to your house.

Starting from the highest point on the roof, we focus on removing the oldest shingles, flashing and/or vents.

We also remove any nails sticking out and reposition any metal gutters so that water flows properly off the roof. Lastly, the rest of the roof is removed, including all shingles.

Once finished, the bare bones of the roof frame will be visible. This is a good time to make any necessary repairs or placing down down new insulation.

Step Four – Install the Eve Flashing

The eave flashing – the steel metal strips used to edge the entire perimeter of the roof and seal off the metal roof, are securely fastened.

Step Five – Install Metal Panels

Next we add the metal to the roof. We start at the area with the longest square footage, most likely the part of the roof with the longest straight line between peak and eave.

(Note: The metal panels will cover not only the roof, but they will also hang off the edge. This overhang will be around ¾ of an inch. This can be adjusted to suit the style and aesthetic of your property.)

Our metal roofing contractors will make absolutely sure that every square foot of the roof is covered in metal, including all the edges.

Metal roofing screws are used to secure the metal panels to the sheathing, roughly about 12 inches apart. For aesthetic purposes, all the screws are aligned evenly. And for any exposed fasteners, each fastener already has a rubber grommet that helps to seal the roof from water.

The metal panels will overlap at least 1 inch with the adjacent panel. We continue this process until the entire roof is covered. As an extra touch, we may use sealant.

Step Six – Finishing touches

Ensuring that the roof is completely protected against the elements such as rain, wind and hail, metal trim flashing is placed over the joints in the roof where the metal panels meet. This adds an extra layer of protection for the joints, the more vulnerable parts of the roof.

And just like that you have a new metal roof installed!
