Metal Roofing in London, Ontario: Install It Once

London homeowners are asking about metal roofs more every year, partly because of winter. A smooth metal surface sheds snow and does not build the ice dams that damage shingle roofs along the eaves.

The main choices are standing seam (concealed fasteners, clean vertical lines) and metal shingles that mimic slate or shake. Both use steel or aluminum with a baked-on finish over a solid deck and high-temperature underlayment.

Metal costs more up front and is quoted in writing after an inspection, with the panel system, gauge, trim and snow guards all listed.

Common Questions

Metal Roofing — Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a metal roof cost in London, Ontario?

Published 2026 Ontario ranges put installed metal roofing at roughly $10 to $16 per square foot for panel systems and $14 to $22 for standing seam, so a metal roof on a typical London home often lands between $25,000 and $50,000. That is two to three times an asphalt roof up front, spread over a much longer life.

Can a metal roof go over existing shingles?

Sometimes, if there is a single layer in good condition and the deck is sound. It is decided at inspection; where the old roof is failing or layered, a tear-off is the better base and is quoted as such.

Is a metal roof noisy in the rain?

Not noticeably on a house. With a solid deck, underlayment and attic insulation between the panels and the living space, rain on a metal roof sounds much like rain on shingles.

How long does a metal roof last in Ontario's climate?

Steel and aluminum roofs are typically rated for 40 to 70 years. Painted finishes are made to resist fading and chalking for decades, and the freeze-thaw cycles that wear out shingles do little to metal.

Will a metal roof work with solar panels later?

Yes, and standing seam is the easiest roof to add panels to, because clamps attach to the seams without any roof penetrations.
