Is metal roofing noisy when it rains?

This is one of the most common myths about metal roofing. When installed over proper underlayment and decking (as we always do), a metal roof is no louder than any other roofing material during rain or hail.

Can a metal roof be installed over existing shingles?

In many cases, yes. Installing metal over existing shingles can save on tear-off costs and disposal. However, we always inspect the underlying decking first to ensure it's structurally sound. We'll recommend the best approach for your specific situation.

Does a metal roof attract lightning?

No. Metal roofing does not increase the likelihood of a lightning strike. In fact, because metal is non-combustible, it's actually safer than many other roofing materials in the unlikely event of a strike.

How much does a metal roof cost compared to shingles?

Metal roofing typically costs more upfront than asphalt shingles, but the total cost of ownership is often lower when you factor in the 50+ year lifespan, minimal maintenance, and energy savings. We provide detailed comparisons in our estimates so you can make an informed decision.

Metal Roofing Services | Blueline Construction | Edson, AB

Metal roofing has become one of the fastest-growing choices for homeowners in west-central Alberta, and it's easy to see why. A properly installed metal roof can last 50 years or more, sheds snow efficiently, resists hail damage far better than traditional materials, and requires virtually no maintenance over its lifespan.

At Blueline Construction, we install standing seam, corrugated, and snap-lock metal roofing systems in a variety of profiles and colours. Whether you're looking for a sleek, modern look or a rustic metal aesthetic that complements a rural property, we'll help you select the right system and install it to manufacturer specifications.

Metal roofing is also highly energy-efficient, reflecting solar heat in summer and providing excellent insulation support in winter. Many of our clients find that the long-term savings on energy and maintenance more than offset the initial investment.
