Common questions

What Owen Sound homeowners ask first.

How much does a metal roof cost in Ontario?
Typical range is $10–$20 per square foot installed. Most homes fall between $20,000–$40,000 depending on size, pitch, and material. Our instant estimate tool gives you a ballpark in 60 seconds.
Why are metal roof prices more stable than asphalt?
Asphalt shingles are petroleum-based — their price floats with crude oil. When oil spikes (or tariffs hit), asphalt quotes can climb 15–25% in a single year. Steel doesn't track oil. It's a commodity in its own right, manufactured domestically by Ideal Roofing, and priced in Canadian dollars. That makes a metal-roof quote more like a contract than a moving target.
Is metal roofing recyclable and sustainable?
Yes — every Wakefield Bridge panel is made from a mix of new and recycled steel, and the panels are 100% recyclable at end of life. Asphalt shingles, by contrast, are petroleum-derived and headed for landfill after their 13–17 year service life. Over fifty years, a metal roof is the more sustainable choice on both ends — manufacturing and disposal.
What is Cool Roof® technology and does it really save on cooling?
Cool Roof® is a reflective coating technology built into Wakefield Bridge's PVDF Kynar 500 paint system. It reflects solar radiation rather than absorbing it the way dark asphalt does — measurably reducing summer cooling costs. On most Ontario homes, that translates to $150–$300/year in energy savings, especially with cool-tone colours like Granite Grey. The technology also meets LEED® credit requirements for buildings pursuing certification.
Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?
No. With proper underlayment and attic insulation, a metal roof is no louder than asphalt. Many homeowners say they can't tell the difference.
How long does a metal roof actually last?
40–70 years depending on material. Our Wakefield Bridge steel shingles carry a 50-year transferable warranty. Compare that to 13–17 for asphalt.
