Metal Roofing in Windsor

Metal Roofing for Windsor homes

Windsor's homes range from early-1900s brick houses in Walkerville and the older core to post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions in the east and south ends. Windsor's mix of hot summers and freeze-thaw winters is where metal's expansion details matter most. On older Windsor houses with dormers and porch roofs, we also plan the transitions between metal and any shingled sections carefully, since that's where leaks usually start.

What's included

Standing seam and steel roofing systems for homeowners who want a long-lasting, low-maintenance roof. Depending on your roof, the work can include:

• Standing seam
• Exposed-fastener steel panels
• Metal shingles and shakes
• Accent roofs
• Snow guards and trim
• The deck and underlayment.
• Expansion and movement.
• Flashing details.
• Snow and ice.

Local conditions in Windsor

Windsor's older homes often have steep, cut-up roofs with dormers, chimneys and porch roofs, while post-war bungalows have simple gables that are quick to reroof. On houses built before the 1950s, expect possible plank decking and multiple old layers; we plan for both in the quote rather than surprising you on the day.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for metal roofing in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

• Is the system standing seam with concealed fasteners or an exposed-fastener panel?
• What gauge and finish are the panels, and what does the finish warranty cover?
• What underlayment will go under the metal?
• How will chimneys, skylights and walls be flashed?
• Where will snow slide off, and do I need snow guards?

Permits and approvals

Building permits in Windsor are issued by the City of Windsor's Building Services department. Replacing shingles with similar materials usually doesn't need a permit, but structural repairs, new roof framing, new skylight openings and changes to the roof structure generally do. We confirm what applies to your project during planning.
