02What We Install

Two workhorse roofs. Each the right answer somewhere.

This page is about barn steel and Euroshield rubber composite — durable, long-lasting, sharp-looking roofs for new construction or replacement. Which one fits depends on your slope, exposure, budget, and how long you plan to keep the building.

After the premium option? Standing seam steel has its own dedicated page — the full system, our process, and recent local installs. And a roof rarely lives alone: we also handle garages & outbuildings, renovations & additions, and exterior work across Grey & Bruce County.

MATERIAL 01

Euroshield rubber composite

THE choice for wind, impact, and hail resistance — the off-road Jeep of roofing. Made from recycled rubber, it’s designed to take an absolute beating: we’ve tested it ourselves with a hammer on solid backing, swinging hard, without leaving a mark on the surface. Semi-truck-tire toughness, styled like slate or cedar shake. For roofs 3/12 slope and greater.

+ Exceptional hail, wind & impact resistance + Slate & cedar-shake profiles — durability without the upkeep + Made largely from recycled rubber

MATERIAL 02

Barn steel

Steel panel with exposed fasteners — the all-round multipurpose roof. Priced in shingle territory with borderline-bulletproof functionality, a 40+ year lifespan, and it looks good doing it. The practical pick for shops, outbuildings, cottages, and plenty of houses. For roofs 3/12 slope and greater.

+ Shingle-comparative cost, way less to worry about + Simple, proven exposed-fastener panel system + Wide range of profiles & colours

03The Roof System

A roof is more than the metal you see.

Most roof failures don’t start at the surface — they start in the layers and transitions underneath. We pay attention to underlayment, ventilation where appropriate, vapour pathways, flashings, transitions, and water management, so the roof protects the structure instead of just covering it.

01

Underlayment & water management

Durable underlayment strategy and properly layered components — the last line of defence, done first.

02

Flashings & transitions

Valleys, penetrations, chimneys, and wall junctions — the places roofs actually leak, detailed with care.

Ventilation & vapour

New roofs installed for proper vapour profile and ventilation function, so moisture never gets trapped in the assembly.

Clean execution

Sharp lines, tidy sites, and protection for everything under and around the roof while we work.

05Roofing FAQ

Straight answers before you re-roof.

Q1Euroshield or barn steel — which should I choose?+
It depends on slope, exposure, budget, and how long you’re keeping the building. Euroshield is the pick where hail, wind, and impact are the concern, or where you want a slate or cedar-shake look. Barn steel is the practical all-rounder at shingle-comparative cost. If you’re after the premium, longest-lived option, that’s standing seam — it has its own page. We’ll give you a straight recommendation at the assessment, including when the cheaper option is the right one.
Q2Can you fix a leak without replacing the whole roof?+
Sometimes — but a leak is often a symptom of a larger systemic problem with the roof, not an isolated hole. We’ll tell you honestly which case yours is before any money changes hands.
Q3Do you address ventilation and moisture risk?+
Yes. Our new roofs are installed for proper vapour profile and ventilation function. On retrofits it’s case by case — we assess how much work is needed to bring the existing assembly up to speed, and tell you before we start.
Q4Do you do flat or low-slope roofing?+
Flat, no. Barn steel and Euroshield both need a slope of 3/12 or greater. For low-slope roofs, standing seam steel is the material of choice — details on its dedicated page.
Q5How long will these roofs last?+
Barn steel runs 40+ years — decades past shingles, at a similar price point. Euroshield is engineered to shrug off the hail, wind, and impact that end other roofs early, and its slate and cedar-shake looks hold up without the upkeep the real materials demand. Either way, lifespan depends as much on the install — flashings, underlayment, ventilation — as on the material, which is why we build the whole system, not just the surface.
