Long-Lasting Metal Roofing Built for Ontario Weather
Metal roofing installation for residential and commercial properties in North Bay, Sudbury and Muskoka
Metal roofs handle snow, ice, and wind better than most other roofing materials, which matters when you live in North Bay, Sudbury or Muskoka and winter conditions can last months. If your property needs a roof that sheds snow quickly, resists rust and impact, and requires less frequent replacement than asphalt shingles, metal roofing offers a durable option for both homes and commercial buildings. You will notice the difference when heavy snow slides off instead of sitting on the roof and when high winds leave the roof intact instead of lifting panels or shingles.
Bay Roofing and Exteriors Ltd. installs a range of metal roofing systems including exposed fastener systems, hidden fastener systems, and steel shingle or diamond shingle options that provide different looks and performance characteristics. The company handles projects from small residential re-roofs to large commercial installations, and each job begins with a free estimate that includes material options, cost breakdowns, and timelines. Knowledgeable project managers help you choose the system that fits your building's structure, your budget, and the visual style you want, and financing options are available through partners like Financeit to help manage upfront costs.
If you are considering metal roofing for a home or commercial building in North Bay, Sudbury or Muskoka, reach out to schedule a consultation and review the systems available for your project.
A metal roof installation in North Bay, Sudbury or Muskoka begins with removing the old roofing material if needed, inspecting and repairing the roof deck, and installing underlayment and ice and water shield in vulnerable areas such as valleys and eaves. Panels or shingles are then fastened according to manufacturer specifications, with seams sealed and fasteners placed to prevent water infiltration and allow for thermal expansion and contraction. Flashing is custom-fit around chimneys, vents, and edges to direct water away from openings.
After the work is complete, your roof will have a smooth, uniform surface with no loose or misaligned panels, and you will notice that rain and snow move off the roof faster than before. The building will stay quieter during storms because metal roofs installed with proper underlayment dampen sound, and you will no longer need to clear snow from the roof as often because the slick surface encourages natural shedding.
Bay Roofing and Exteriors Ltd. follows manufacturer installation standards to ensure the roof performs as designed and qualifies for material warranties. The company works on both new construction and re-roof projects, and crews are experienced with the specific techniques required for different metal roofing systems. The team also accepts bid and tender requests for upcoming projects, which is common for commercial work scheduled months in advance.
What will change after a metal roof is installed
Here is what homeowners and builders often ask
These questions come up frequently when property owners are planning a metal roofing project, and the answers reflect how the work is actually done in North Bay, Sudbury or Muskoka.
How long does a metal roof last compared to shingles?
A properly installed metal roof can last 40 to 60 years or more, which is roughly double the lifespan of asphalt shingles. The longevity depends on the type of metal, coating, and installation quality.
What is the difference between exposed and hidden fastener systems?
Exposed fastener systems use screws that penetrate the face of the panel and are visible from the ground, while hidden fastener systems use clips that attach beneath the panel seams for a cleaner look and better weather resistance. Hidden systems generally cost more but require less maintenance.
Will a metal roof make my home noisier during rain?
When installed over solid decking with underlayment, a metal roof does not produce noticeably more noise than other roofing types. The underlayment and attic insulation absorb most of the sound.
Can I install metal roofing over my existing shingles?
In some cases, metal roofing can be installed over one layer of shingles if the roof deck is in good condition and local building codes allow it. Your project manager will inspect the roof and confirm whether this approach is suitable or if removal is needed.
How much does metal roofing cost compared to shingles?
Metal roofing typically costs more upfront than asphalt shingles, but it lasts longer and requires less maintenance over time. Bay Roofing and Exteriors Ltd. provides detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you can compare options.
