Overview

Why homeowners choose IronWrap for metal roofing

Metal roofing is the long-term answer to Alberta's worst weather. Where asphalt shingles last 12–20 years and crack under hail, a properly installed metal roof from IronWrap will outlast the mortgage on the house — typically 50–70+ years with no major maintenance. For context on how a tight, well-insulated roof affects whole-home energy efficiency in our climate, see Natural Resources Canada's "Keeping the Heat In" guide.

What sets an IronWrap roof apart is what goes into it. We use virgin steel — never re-rolled or recycled scrap — for full-strength, consistent panels. Every system is Class-A fire-rated and carries full hail and fade protection, which is why homeowners often see lower insurance premiums after switching from asphalt. And with 25+ years of metal-roof experience behind every install, backed by a 50-year non-prorated manufacturer warranty plus our own written installation guarantee, you're buying a roof once — not every 15 years.

We install three families of metal roofing across Edmonton and Central Alberta: standing seam, metal shingles in 3D shake and slate profiles, and European-style metal tiles. Each system uses concealed or hidden fasteners, virgin steel substrates, and full-coverage warranties on both panels and finish.

Every IronWrap metal roof includes heat-reflective underlayment, sub-framing for additional reinforcement and ventilation, and custom-fabricated flashings sized to match your roof's geometry. Nothing is improvised on-site from off-the-shelf parts.

The upfront cost is the only real objection to metal — and financing from $250/month with same-day approval removes it, letting you spread a lifetime roof over affordable payments. See our metal roof financing page, and compare the long-term numbers in our metal roof vs asphalt shingles guide.

We service Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Leduc, Beaumont, Fort Saskatchewan, Stony Plain and Morinville — see the full Edmonton area guide, plus surrounding rural acreages and agricultural properties (see agricultural metal roofing). All installs are COR-certified, fully insured, and backed by both manufacturer panel warranties and our written installation guarantee. Request a free quote to get started.

Pricing

Metal Roofing cost in Edmonton (2026)

Typical installed range

$9–$18 per sq ft, installed

Metal roofing cost in Edmonton typically lands in this range. The variation is driven by which system you choose, the complexity of your roof, and whether tear-off of existing shingles is required. As a reference point, asphalt shingles run roughly $4–$7/sq ft installed — the up-front premium for metal is real, but spread over a roof that lasts 3–5× longer.

Breakdown

Standing Seam

Most premium profile. Mechanical-lock systems sit at the top of the range.

$12–$18/sq ft

Metal Shingles

Cedar-shake and slate looks at the mid-range.

$9–$14/sq ft

European Metal Tiles

Imported steel with Mediterranean clay-tile profiles.

$11–$16/sq ft

What drives your metal roofing cost

  • Roof size, pitch, and accessibility
  • Number of valleys, dormers, and roof penetrations
  • Tear-off of existing roofing (vs. install over)
  • Underlayment grade — heat-reflective adds cost, reduces cooling load
  • Snow retention systems and ventilation upgrades
  • Colour and finish (matte and metallic finishes carry a small premium)

Common Questions

Metal Roofing FAQs

Quick answers to what homeowners ask before they sign on for metal roofing.

See all FAQs
How long does a metal roof actually last in Alberta?+

50–70+ years for properly installed standing seam, metal shingles, or European tile. Compare that to 12–20 years for asphalt — a metal roof outlasts 2–3 asphalt replacements over the same window.

Will it survive Alberta hail?+

Yes. All our metal roofing systems carry full hail and fade protection. Most homeowners actually see lower hail-claim insurance premiums after switching from asphalt.

How much does a metal roof cost?+

Pricing depends on the system and roof complexity. After a free on-site measure we deliver a fixed-price written quote — no surprises. In-house financing is available from $250/month with same-day approval.

How long does the install take?+

Most residential metal roofs are installed in 3–7 working days, depending on complexity and weather. We schedule precisely so the house is never left exposed overnight.

Will my insurance cover removal of the old roof?+

If you're claiming hail or wind damage on an existing asphalt roof, insurance typically covers tear-off and equivalent replacement. Many homeowners use that claim as the foundation for upgrading to a lifetime metal system.

Do you handle metal roof installs on farm buildings, shops, and acreage outbuildings?+

Yes. We install structural standing seam, 9-36 metal panel, and architectural profiles on shop buildings, barns, machine sheds and agricultural outbuildings across Parkland, Strathcona, Sturgeon and Leduc counties. See [agricultural metal roofing Alberta](/agricultural-metal-roofing-alberta) for the full agricultural service.

What's the warranty if I sell my home — does it transfer to the new owner?+

Yes. Most major metal roof panel warranties are fully transferable to the next homeowner one time at no cost. The IronWrap installation guarantee is also transferable. This is a meaningful resale asset — buyers can verify they're getting decades of remaining warranty coverage on the roof.
