Metal roofing has become a popular choice across North Vancouver and Metro Vancouver, especially for homeowners who are tired of replacing roofs. It costs more upfront than asphalt shingles, but it lasts far longer and handles our wet climate well.

Vancouver Roofing & Solar installs and repairs metal roofs on homes and commercial buildings. Metal is also a strong base for solar panels, and we install both.

Why homeowners choose metal in the Lower Mainland

  • Lifespan of 40 years or more when properly installed
  • Sheds rain, fir needles and debris easily, and resists moss
  • Holds up well to wind
  • Low maintenance compared to cedar and asphalt
  • A clean, modern look that suits many West Coast homes
  • Works well with rooftop solar

Is metal roofing worth the cost?

If you plan to stay in your home for a long time, metal often works out cheaper over the long run, because you may never need to replace it again. If you're planning to sell in a few years, a quality asphalt shingle roof may make more sense. We'll give you quotes for both if you want to compare.

FAQ

Metal roofing questions

How long does a metal roof last?

A properly installed metal roof typically lasts 40 years or more, much longer than asphalt shingles or cedar in our climate.

Is a metal roof loud in the rain?

Over a solid roof deck with proper underlayment and an insulated attic, most homeowners find rain noise similar to other roof types.

Does metal roofing work in Vancouver's rain?

Yes. Metal sheds water quickly and resists moss, which makes it well suited to the Lower Mainland's wet weather.

Can you install solar panels on a metal roof?

Yes. Metal is a good base for solar. Vancouver Roofing & Solar installs both, so the roof and panels are planned together.
