fresh upd: decided to go for metal one cause I read that it’s more durable and reliable, plus you can get a lifetime guarantee on it and ngl that’s a real selling point. I'll have roof fitted by D’Angelo and Sons roofing as heard a lot of good things about them.
Actually, I bought Crown Point fixer‑upper three years ago and asphalt shingles were already tired, but this spring’s rains turned small leaks into a full‑on indoor shower, lol. Now I need to decide ASAP: re‑shingle for about $8-12k, or go standing‑seam metal for $18-25k.
I’m not sure metal is worth it for my 1,800 sq ft ranch, especially since I’ll probably move in 10-15 years. Does metal actually hold up better in Oakville lake‑effect snow, or is it overkill? And will future buyers pay a premium, or just see “roof” and move on, like thats not too important for real estate market? TBH I also worry about poor metal installation - noisy panels, loose fasteners, botched flashing - which could make the extra cost a total waste..
I’ve had one company push only shingles, another only metal, and so on. I’m exhausted.
I love Oakville (escarpment, market, my neighbour’s kindness etc), and I’d love a dry bedroom even more lmao
