Durable, efficient, striking metal roofing
If you're tired of replacing asphalt shingles every couple of decades, a metal roof may be the last roof you ever buy. A metal roof is a roofing system built from steel, aluminum, zinc, or copper panels that lasts 40 to 70 years - two to three times longer than asphalt - while shedding Calgary snow, reflecting summer heat, and standing up to hail.
Installing metal correctly takes specialized panels, concealed fasteners, and precise flashing, which is why it pays to hire a crew that does it often. Fratello Roofing & Exteriors Ltd installs residential and commercial metal roofs across Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks and Chestermere, and repairs existing metal roofs through our roof repair service.
You call, Ardit picks up. You deal directly with owner-operator Ardit Shkalla - not a call center, not an AI answering machine, not an offshore receptionist. No red tape, just the owner who'll be on your roof.
Benefits
Why Install a Metal Roof?
40-70 Year Lifespan
Steel and aluminum roofs don't rot, crack, or blow off. They outlast asphalt two to three times over, so most homeowners install one and never replace it.
Lower Cooling Costs
A metal roof reflects solar heat instead of absorbing it, trimming summer cooling bills and boosting energy efficiency.
Fire & Pest Resistant
Metal carries a Class A fire rating and naturally resists mold, mildew, and pests.
Striking Looks
Available in nearly any texture, color, or finish, a metal roof makes your home or building stand out.
Less Maintenance
Lightweight and strong, metal needs far less upkeep than shingles or tar-and-gravel.
More Long-Term Value
Lasting decades longer with fewer repairs, a metal roof often doubles the lifetime value of a shingle roof.

FAQ
Metal Roofing Questions
How long does a metal roof last?
A quality metal roof lasts 40 to 70 years depending on the material. Steel and aluminum typically last 40-60 years, while copper and zinc can exceed 70, far longer than the 15-25 years of asphalt shingles.
Is a metal roof good for Calgary hail?
Yes. Metal resists hail far better than asphalt, and many panels carry a Class 4 impact rating, the highest available. After a severe storm it may dent cosmetically but rarely leaks, which is why it suits Calgary's hail-prone climate.
Is a metal roof noisy in rain or hail?
No. Installed over solid decking and underlayment, a modern metal roof is no louder than asphalt. The drumming people remember came from old barn roofs fastened over open framing.
How much does a metal roof cost in Calgary?
Metal costs more up front than asphalt but less over its lifetime because it rarely needs replacing. We provide a free, written quote based on your roof size, pitch, and panel choice.
Can you install a metal roof over my existing shingles?
In some cases, yes - metal's light weight allows it over a single sound layer of shingles. We assess your roof first and recommend a tear-off only when it's genuinely needed.
How does metal compare to concrete tile or a flat membrane roof?
Metal is the lightest long-life option and sheds snow best; concrete tile offers a heavier, traditional masonry look with excellent hail resistance; and flat membrane roofs like EPDM and TPO are made for low-slope roofs. We'll compare them honestly for your home.
