No fear of a Georgian Bay nor’easter.
Independently certified to international high-wind standards. While neighbours are picking shingles off the lawn after a Wasaga storm, you’re checking the eaves for leaves.

The last roof your home will ever need.
Canadian-made steel from Ideal Roofing, installed by three specialist crews we’ve worked with for over a decade. A fifty-year transferable warranty on every premium panel.
Serving Simcoe, Grey, and Dufferin counties plus the Caledon area — from Barrie and Collingwood to Owen Sound, Orangeville and Caledon East.
Built for Canadian homes
Engineered for the weather we actually get. From Caledon to Georgian Bay, across four counties.
Wakefield Bridge® steel shingles are made in Canada from Canadian steel — full traceability, full warranty, and a profile engineered for the climates this country actually has. Up here that means Georgian Bay nor’easters, lake-effect dumps, freeze-thaw cycles that shred shingles in a single winter, and the hail that rolls through every other August. Three places where steel quietly outperforms asphalt, every time.
Non-combustible by its very nature.
Asphalt ignites from a stray spark. Steel doesn’t. Class A fire-resistance rating, the highest there is — meaningful peace of mind whether the risk is a chimney ember, a wood-stove flue, or a neighbour’s burn pile.
The highest impact rating you can buy.
Class 4 impact rated — survives the hail that would total a shingle roof, and shrugs off the freeze-thaw cycles that crack asphalt long before its warranty runs out. Many Ontario insurers offer a discount for the upgrade.
Why Select
Three things no other roofer in Simcoe County can match.
i.
One installer for fourteen years.
Three crews, each certified on a single product. Our longest crew relationship is sixteen years. No sub-contracting, no rotating hands, no “we’ll send whoever’s available.”
ii.
Canadian steel, PVDF Kynar 500.
Premium Ideal Roofing panels stamped from Canadian steel. Independently certified to 241 km/h — the same coating on every Wakefield Bridge and Heritage roof we install.
iii.
The quote is the price.
No surprise rot charges, no “we found something” markup, no scope creep. Colum walks the roof with you, gives you a firm number in writing, and that’s what you pay. It’s the line that comes up most in our reviews — and the reason 68% of our 2025 jobs came from referrals.
Metal Roof Products
Four product lines, one supplier we trust.
Every panel we install is stamped from Canadian steel by Ideal Roofing, our authorized supplier of fifteen years. Four distinct profiles — from premium steel shingles to classic standing seam — each matched to a crew that’s been certified on it for years.

Made in Canada — all four product lines manufactured in Canada by Ideal Roofing.
Wakefield Bridge · Three signature colours
The three our customers keep coming back to.
Black Mica, Granite Grey, and Espresso work on nearly every façade we see up here: stone, brick, board-and-batten, and cedar. Wakefield Bridge is offered in the full Ideal Roofing palette — these are the three Colum installs most.
No. 01 · Top sellerBlack Mica
Deep, near-black with a subtle mica fleck. Reads modern on white siding, classic on red brick. The colour Colum installs more than any other.
No. 02Granite Grey
A cool mid-grey that disappears into the landscape. The right answer for stone-clad bungalows and timber-frame homes.
No. 03Espresso
A rich, warm brown — the right pick for cottages, board-and-batten farmhouses, and anything cedar-shingled.

“A man of his word is all you need when dealing with a contractor.”He was at my door in less than 30 minutes. Measured, provided solutions, came up with a price; deal done. His team was over shortly thereafter to put down the first layer of protection and kept us dry. As he said he would, his team was back and provided us with a beautiful new steel roof.Scott H. · Google review · April 2026

i.
“Colum provided a great explanation of products available with their pros and cons. He worked with our budget but did not compromise quality. No hidden costs. The crew worked through the hottest days of the summer and completed the entire job in three days.”Sandra B. · Glencairn · August 2022
“I went with Select because Colum had the style, colour, and type of metal roofing — convincing me to go with interlocking over large panel or standing seam. I entertained many proposals and was able to work with Colum to satisfy my budget.”Brian L. · Collingwood · retired architect · February 2023
ii.
“It was a pleasure working with Colum and his team. Very professional, reliable and helpful in choosing the right material. The job was completed in less than 2 days. Very impressed with the overall experience.”Kendra D. · Google review · October 2025
“The crew was on time, courteous, and they cleaned up at the end of each day. We have had a lot of construction crews working on our addition and without a doubt this crew was the hardest working and most professional. Our roof was completed within a few days and it looks amazing.”Crystal K. · Google review · February 2018
iii.
“Colum was the only roofer to actually go up onto our roof to take a look before we were given a quote. That spoke volumes to us. The crew was second to none — always on time, clean, and the quality of their workmanship was of the highest standard.”Anna E. · Google review · June 2020
“I have known Colum since 2015 when he installed a new steel roof on our house. This year I decided to build a 24×24 garage and there was no question who would be installing the roof. He did a great job hunting down the exact steel roofing material — tricky because he no longer carried my roofing manufacturer.”Mike B. · Orillia · returning customer · February 2023

“Two of our properties — work ethic, workmanship, and a very friendly pleasant crew. Prices are always very competitive.”
Jan K. - Apr 2025
“They did a great job from beginning to end, including clean up. The Wakefield Bridge metal shingles will withstand the test of time.”
Mike B. - Mid 2025
“Colum took the time to actively listen to my concerns and requirements. He presented various options, clearly explaining the benefits of each — I never felt pressured.”
Craig J. · Local Guide - Mid 2025
“From our initial meeting, Colum demonstrated a high level of professionalism. We are thrilled with our new roof and the peace of mind provided by the 50-year transferable warranty.”
John M. - Jul 2023
“According to my builder, our metal roof is the best install they’ve ever seen. When we had a tear in our tent shelter that was completely accidental, Colum’s team took full responsibility.”
Amanda H. - Mar 2023
“We had seen a roof in our neighbourhood we liked — Select Metal Roofing was the contractor. Prompt, arrived when they said they would, and the best part is we won’t have to do it again anytime soon.”
Merrilu B. - Feb 2023
“We chose Select because the owner was clear with his communication, pricing, and overall honesty — and the installation crew was all local. The whole project took a day.”
Andrea G. · Local Guide - Mar 2022
“Colum’s pricing was right in range with everyone else. What stood out was his passion to do a great job. The team kept an incredibly clean work space.”
