Northern Mississauga was built in two waves, and both are due
Meadowvale was developed as a planned community in the 1970s. Churchill Meadows came much later — the fourth phase of the Erin Mills build-out, with its homes going up mostly between 2000 and 2010 — and Lisgar filled in through the late 1990s and early 2000s. Run those dates against a 13–17 year asphalt life, the range Colum arrived at from a decade of surveying the roofs he was tearing off rather than from a warranty document, and the picture is stark. A 1975 Meadowvale bungalow is on its third or fourth asphalt roof. A 2004 Churchill Meadows home is at or past the end of its second. Neither owner is choosing between asphalt and metal for the first time; they are deciding whether to keep restarting a cycle they have already paid for twice.
Streetsville and Meadowvale Village are not suburbs, and shouldn’t be roofed like them
Streetsville was founded in 1820 and Meadowvale Village in 1819 — both were working villages long before Mississauga existed as a city, and both still read that way on the street. A standing seam panel that looks right on a 2005 build in Churchill Meadows can look badly wrong on a nineteenth-century house on Queen Street South. That is what the Wakefield Bridge steel shingle profile is for: it carries the shadow line and visual texture of a traditional roof while performing as steel. We install four profiles from Ideal Roofing and the right one depends on the house, the roof geometry and the streetscape — which is a site-visit conversation, not a brochure decision.
How we work here
Our crews cover northern Mississauga, Milton, Georgetown and Caledon, and Colum attends the site visit and writes the quote himself. Select Metal Roofing has been an exclusive Ideal Roofing dealer since 2011, and the same three certified crews have done the work throughout — no sub-contracting and no rotating hands. Our work here is full roof replacement, tear-off or layover, typically three to four days on site.
