Metal Roofing in Muskoka & Southern Ontario
Metal roofing is a durable, long-lasting roofing option well suited to the demanding weather conditions throughout Southern Ontario and Muskoka. From heavy snowfall and freezing rain to strong winds, summer heat and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, a properly installed metal roof provides dependable protection for your home or cottage year after year.
For homeowners and cottage owners looking for a long-term roofing solution, metal roofing offers an excellent combination of durability, low maintenance, fire resistance and curb appeal.
The Benefits of Metal Roofing
One of the biggest advantages of metal roofing is its longevity. When properly installed using quality materials, a metal roofing system can provide decades of reliable service with relatively little ongoing maintenance.
Steel and aluminum roofing systems are resistant to many of the weather conditions that affect Ontario homes. Metal roofing can withstand strong winds, UV exposure and the expansion and contraction caused by changing temperatures.
Metal roofing is also non-combustible, providing excellent fire resistance. This can be particularly important for rural homes and cottages in wooded areas throughout Muskoka and Southern Ontario.
Metal roofing is highly recyclable, making it an environmentally responsible roofing choice.
Metal Roofing for Ontario Homes & Cottages
Muskoka and surrounding areas experience significant snow, ice, wind and temperature fluctuations throughout the year. These conditions can place additional demands on a roofing system.
Proper roof design, ventilation, underlayment, flashing and installation are all important when selecting a metal roof for an Ontario property.
Metal roofing is available in a wide variety of colours, profiles and styles, making it suitable for virtually any property — from traditional Muskoka cottages and rural homes to modern houses throughout Barrie, Oro-Medonte, Orillia, Simcoe County and surrounding communities.

When choosing a metal roofing contractor, it is important to consider more than just the finished appearance. Ask what products are being used, where the steel comes from, how the roofing is fabricated, who will be installing it and what workmanship warranty is provided.
Is Metal Roofing Low Maintenance?
One of the main reasons homeowners choose metal roofing is its relatively low maintenance requirements.
While no roofing system is completely maintenance-free, a professionally installed metal roof generally requires less ongoing maintenance than many traditional roofing systems.
Regular inspections are still recommended, particularly for properties surrounded by trees. Keeping roof valleys, gutters, flashing and drainage areas clear of leaves, branches and debris can help maintain the performance of your roofing system.
Choosing Quality Metal Roofing
Not all metal roofing systems are created equal. The quality of the material and installation can have a significant impact on the long-term performance of your roof.
Low-quality coatings, exposed fasteners and inferior materials can potentially lead to premature wear, corrosion and maintenance issues. A metal roof should be installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications and in a manner appropriate for the design and construction of your home.
At Brentwood Roofing, we believe quality starts with the materials and continues through every stage of fabrication and installation. Our use of Cascadia Metals products and in-house fabrication allows us to provide roofing solutions designed specifically for each property.
Common Questions About Metal Roofing
Does a metal roof attract lightning?
No. Metal roofing does not attract lightning any more than other types of roofing. Metal is also non-combustible, providing excellent fire resistance.
Is metal roofing noisy when it rains?
A professionally installed metal roof with the appropriate underlayment and roof assembly does not necessarily produce significantly more noise than an asphalt shingle roof. Proper installation plays an important role in sound control.
Is metal roofing suitable for heavy snow?
Yes. Metal roofing can be an excellent choice for Ontario’s winter conditions when properly designed and installed. Roof pitch, structural design, snow accumulation, ventilation and installation methods should all be considered.
