It\u2019s a big choice, and we know that you have many questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What\u2019s the\nmain difference between shingles and metal roofing?<\/li><li>Is metal\nroofing worth the extra expense?<\/li><li>Are metal\nroofs good for Ottawa \/ Gatineau weather?<\/li><li>Who can\ninstall a metal roof in the Ottawa and Gatineau area?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The team here at Renovaction have extensive\nexperience in installing both metal and shingle roofs and share their thoughts\non some of the pros and cons for each. When you\u2019re ready to start the\nconversation about replacing your roof, <a href=\"https:\/\/renovaction.ca\/en\/contact\/\">reach out!<\/a> We\u2019re always\nhappy to answer your questions and walk you through the best options for your\nhome and budget.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Metal or shingle roofing: What\ntype of roof is best for your needs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I want a new roof that adds\nthe most resale value<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are replacing your roof and want to\nchoose the material that will add the most resale value, choose metal. A metal\nroof will give you the highest return on investment (ROI) when it comes time to\nsell your home. Homebuyers are particularly savvy about the major benefits that\na metal roof brings in terms of higher insulation, lower heating and cooling\ncosts, and next-to-zero replacement costs due to the longevity of metal roofs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The increased curb appeal from non-fading\nmetal roofs also help property listings to stand out from others with\nconventional asphalt shingles. All in all, if you\u2019re factoring resale value\ninto your choice of materials to use for your new roof, metal comes out on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related post: <a href=\"https:\/\/renovaction.ca\/en\/3-renovations-that-add-value-to-your-home\/\">3 renovations that add value to your home<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I need the least expensive\nroofing option right now<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to replace your roof right away\nand have a limited budget, you might be restricted to asphalt shingles simply\ndue to the lower cost. Shingled roofs can cost up to 50% less than a metal roof\nand may be a good choice for homeowners who are looking for a quick fix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team here at Renovaction does a great\njob of helping homeowners choose the best asphalt shingles for their needs, and\nthen making sure they are installed perfectly to add the most elevated and\nsophisticated look possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I want a unique roof that\nstands out from the neighbours<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to show off the uniqueness of\nyour property, a metal roof will give you much more flexibility in choice.\nMetal roofs come in a much wider range of colours and textures, extending\nfarther into both light and dark shades. Better yet, these colours don\u2019t fade\non metal roofs and remain the same for their full 40-70 year lifespan. And\nshould you ever want to update your style, metal roofing can be painted if you\nwant to change the colour of your roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I want the most ecological\noption for my roof<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Made of 25% post consumer recycled\nmaterials, metal roofs outshine asphalt shingles when it comes to the\necological impact, hands down. Not only do metal roofs last longer, essentially\nlasting 40-70 years before needing to be replaced, they are fully recyclable\nwhen that time rolls around. Asphalt shingles, on the other hand, last only\n8-12 years in the Ottawa and Gatineau climate and end up in landfill sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing your asphalt roof with a metal\nroof? We will install your new metal roof on top, doubling your insulating\nlayers, and keeping the shingles out of landfill forever. If, however, metal\nroofing is not within your reach, ask us about choosing the most environmentally-friendly\nasphalt shingles for your roofing project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I want the strongest roof for\nthe Ottawa and Gatineau weather<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Metal wins again, here! The materials used\nin metal roofing are extremely durable and lightweight and they stand up to the\nelements much longer than non metal roofing choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metal roofs are more waterproof and\nfireproof than shingle roofs, and insurance companies offer lower home premiums\nto homeowners with metal roofing because they result in fewer insurance claims\ndue to fires and leaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metal roofs are particularly well-suited to\nthe extreme temperature swings in the Ottawa and Gatineau climates. Metal\nroofing offers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>no\nsnow-removal required because it slides off<\/li><li>lower risk\nof gutter damage from ice-dams<\/li><li>higher\ndeflection of summer sun<\/li><li>low risk\nof dents from hail or freezing rain<\/li><li>enhanced\nstrength to withstand high winds<\/li><li>high\ninsulation factor to keep indoor temperature constant year-round<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Ottawa Region\u2019s Metal Roof\nExperts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are considering a metal roof for\nyour new home construction or for re-roofing over an existing shingle roof, <a href=\"https:\/\/renovaction.ca\/en\/contact\/\">reach out to the roofing experts<\/a> at RenoVaction.
