Steel Above, Peace of Mind Below
When it comes to weathering the year-round conditions Southern Ontario delivers, metal roofing raises the bar considerably. Snow doesn't pile up and linger the same way, wind has fewer weak points to exploit, and the surface doesn't break down the way asphalt does over years of heat, ice, and freeze-thaw cycles. If you're at the early stages of figuring out what a metal roof would mean for your home, Gerry’s Roofing & Siding can help you work through it.
Since we started in 1980, being a family-owned, local business has meant being hands-on with the products we choose, and Ontario Metal Products is a roofing system we stand behind without hesitation. We'd love the chance to show you why so many homeowners across this region have trusted us with one of the biggest investments a home can have.
More Than a Tougher Surface
Longevity gets most of the attention when homeowners start looking into metal roofing, and for good reason. But the benefits go well beyond how long the roof lasts. The choice of material also determines how much upkeep you're signing up for, how the roof holds up through the coldest months, and how long you can go without worrying about it.
Here are some of the key advantages of metal roofing from Ontario Metal Products:
Extended Life: A metal roof can outlast multiple asphalt shingle replacement cycles, making it a long-term investment rather than a recurring expense.
Low Maintenance: Metal doesn't crack, curl, or shed granules like asphalt shingles do, which means fewer repairs and less ongoing maintenance over the years.
Snow & Ice Performance: This roof profile helps snow shed more readily than asphalt roofs, reducing standing weight and stress on the structure below.
Residential Styles: Homeowners can choose between standing-seam and metal shingle profiles, depending on the look they're after.
Surprisingly Light: Metal roofing weighs less than many homeowners expect, making it compatible with many standard residential roof structures.
Colour Retention: Coil-coated steel is designed to maintain its finish under UV exposure and seasonal weather conditions.
Energy Performance: Reflective roof coatings can help reduce heat absorption during warmer months, easing the demand on cooling systems.
No roofing material removes the need for correct ventilation, insulation, and skilled installation. A metal roof still needs careful attention at valleys, penetrations, ridges, and eaves. That's where experience shows up most, and it's the part of the job we take most seriously.
A Roof That Understands This Climate
Ontario Metal Products manufactures residential metal roofing specifically for Canadian homes. Their systems are built around the conditions that roofs here face every year: heavy snow loads, ice buildup, freeze-thaw movement, and wide swings between summer heat and winter cold.
That's especially relevant for Hamilton. A roof in this area can go from wet autumn weather to deep snowpack, through spring thaw, and into summer sun in a matter of months. Metal roofing handles those transitions in a fundamentally different way than asphalt roofing does. Rather than relying on granules and layered shingle tabs, a steel roofing system uses formed panels or shingles with coated surfaces engineered for durability, corrosion resistance, and colour retention. Because around here, a roof that can't handle all four seasons isn't worth much.
Every Seam, Edge, & Flashing Detail Counts
Metal roofing rewards precision. A shortcut at a seam, a missed flashing detail, or a rushed transition point can cause problems down the line, even when the material itself is high quality. Our process is deliberate because it has to be. Here's what it looks like from start to finish:
We’ll remove the old roof completely so the deck underneath can be properly assessed.
The deck is inspected for rot, soft spots, uneven areas, and any underlying issues.
An underlayment layer goes down to create a secondary barrier beneath the metal.
Panels or metal shingles are installed in accordance with the appropriate profile.
Every valley, ridge, wall, vent, chimney, and penetration receives meticulous flashing.
A final inspection of the completed roof gives us the chance to verify every detail.
We've followed this same approach across more than 30,000 completed projects, and it doesn't change with job size. When the stakes are this high, consistency isn't optional.
Care From the Ground Up
Metal roofing isn't demanding to maintain, but it shouldn't be ignored entirely. Most care is straightforward and seasonal. Keeping up with basic seasonal care protects both the roof and the workmanship coverage behind the installation.
After major storms or snowfall, it's worth doing a ground-level check for visible debris, ice buildup near the eaves, or blocked gutters. Valleys need to stay clear so water and melting snow can move off the roof without pooling. Gutters should be kept open so that runoff is directed away from the foundation rather than backing up along the roof edge.
Inside the home, attic conditions still play a role. Moisture staining, condensation, or poor airflow can affect the roof system from below, regardless of the exterior condition. A metal roof performs best when the entire roof assembly is functioning well, from the attic up.
