When it's time to re-roof in L\u00e9vis<\/a>, You're probably asking yourself the same question as most homeowners: asphalt shingles or metal roofing?<\/span><\/p>\n

It's not just a matter of taste. It's a decision that will affect your budget, the maintenance of your home, and the durability of your roof for the next 20, 30, or even 50 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Solutions R\u00e9novation Qu\u00e9bec,<\/a> we've been installing both types of roof for over 10 years. We know their strengths, their limitations, and above all, how they react to the L\u00e9vis climate - freeze-thaw, heavy snow, strong winds. We'll explain clearly what really works, without any sales bullshit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding the issues: climate, sustainability and budget<\/b><\/h2>\n

Choosing a roof isn't like choosing a paint color. Once it's done, you live with it for decades.<\/span><\/p>\n

In L\u00e9vis, climate plays a major role in the performance and lifespan of your roof. Freeze-thaw cycles are brutal, snow accumulates, and winds can be violent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Performance and durability in Quebec climates<\/b><\/h3>\n

Asphalt shingles are the most common choice in Quebec. On average, they last between 15 and 30 years, depending on quality and maintenance. But in our climate, with 50 to 100 freeze-thaw cycles per winter (a reasonable estimate), even the best shingles age faster.<\/span><\/p>\n

Metal is a different story. A properly installed metal roof can last from 40 to 70 years, sometimes longer. It's more resistant to freeze-thaw cycles, naturally sliding snow and high winds. It also offers better protection against UV rays and damage caused by ice dams.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main difference: shingles absorb water and can crack when exposed to frost. Metal, on the other hand, repels water and is much more resistant to extreme conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consequences for homeowners<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you opt for shingles, you'll probably re-roof at least twice in your lifetime as a homeowner. That means twice the installation costs, twice the waste, twice the inconvenience.<\/span><\/p>\n

With metal, it's often just one installation for the life of the house. Initial costs are higher, but in the long term, the return on investment is better.<\/span><\/p>\n

Water infiltration caused by damaged shingles can also lead to costly interior repairs: mold, re-insulation and ceiling repairs. A properly installed metal roof significantly reduces these risks.<\/span><\/p>\n

SRQ solutions for an informed and sustainable choice<\/b><\/h2>\n

We're not trying to sell you one type of roof over another. We want you to understand what's best for your situation: your budget, your type of home, your priorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some homeowners are on a tight budget now and prefer quality shingles. Others want a one-time investment for the next 50 years and choose metal. Both choices can be smart.<\/span><\/p>\n

Installation and materials: shingles vs. metal<\/b><\/h3>\n

For shingles, we use products adapted to the Quebec climate: wind-resistant architectural shingles, ice-resistant membranes on critical areas, and adequate ventilation to prevent ice dams.<\/span><\/p>\n

Installation follows a strict process: inspection of the existing structure, replacement of damaged sections, installation of membranes, installation of soffits and ridge vents, then shingles. Everything complies with standards RBQ.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

For metal, galvanized sheet metal or steel with anti-corrosion coating is preferred. Installation is more technical: spacing must be respected, flashings must be installed correctly, and fasteners must allow for expansion and contraction of the metal.<\/span><\/p>\n

We also work with products such as MC Mel for complementary elements such as railings, stairs and banisters.<\/a> - which are welded, rust-resistant and maintenance-free.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maintenance and freeze-thaw prevention<\/b><\/h3>\n

No matter what type of roof you have, maintenance is important. For shingles, that means regular inspections, cleaning the gutters and checking for lifted or damaged shingles.<\/span><\/p>\n

For metal, maintenance is minimal. We still recommend a bi-annual inspection to check fasteners and flashings, and make sure there's no accumulated debris.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ventilation plays a crucial role for both types of roof. Adequate ventilation keeps the attic cold, preventing snow from melting and creating ice dams.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cost comparison and return on investment<\/b><\/h2>\n

Let's talk numbers. This is often the part that makes owners hesitate, especially when they see the initial price difference.<\/span><\/p>\n

But comparing only the cost of installation is like comparing the price of a car without looking at fuel consumption or future repairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Estimates for houses L\u00e9vis and surroundings<\/b><\/h3>\n

Here's what we regularly see in the region for a standard single-family home:<\/span><\/p>\n

Roofing<\/a> asphalt shingles<\/b> 12,000 to 24,000 $ Includes removal of old roof, membranes, ventilation and complete installation to RBQ standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Metal roofing<\/b> 26,000 to 56,000 $ The higher cost is due to the material itself, the complexity of installation, and the exceptional durability.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, if you do the math over 40 years: with shingles, you'll be paying for two complete installations, or about 24,000 to 48,000 $. With metal, it's a single installation that can last 50 years or more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Savings and subsidies<\/b><\/h3>\n

The R\u00e9noclimat program can offer grants if your new roof improves your home's energy efficiency. This applies especially if you also improve attic insulation and ventilation.<\/span><\/p>\n

A properly installed metal roof can also reduce your energy consumption by reflecting some of the sun's rays in summer, keeping your home cooler. Over 30 years, these savings can add up to several thousand dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n

The return on investment for metal is usually 25 to 35 years (a reasonable estimate), but after that, you have another 15 to 30 years of useful life without major costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Myths and realities: metal roofing and shingles in Quebec<\/b><\/h2>\n

We hear all kinds of claims about metal roofing. Some are true, others completely false.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here's what we see most often, and what really happens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Common myths<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u00abA metal roof is noisy when it rains\u00bb.\u00bb<\/b> False. With proper insulation and underlayment, noise is barely perceptible. We have customers who have replaced their shingles with metal and tell us they can't even hear the rain.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00abMetal attracts lightning\u00bb<\/b> No. A metal roof doesn't attract lightning any more than a shingle roof. In fact, if lightning strikes, metal is safer because it's non-combustible and disperses the energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00abMetal rusts quickly\u00bb<\/b> Not true with modern coatings. Galvanized or anticorrosion-coated metal roofs are highly resistant to corrosion, even in our humid climate. Warranties go up to 40 or 50 years for this reason.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00abIt's too expensive, it's not worth it\u00bb.\u00bb<\/b> It depends on your perspective. If you calculate over 40 or 50 years, metal often becomes more profitable than two or three shingle installations. It's a higher initial investment, but the ROI is real.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00abShingles last 50 years\u00bb<\/b> False. Manufacturers sometimes advertise life spans of 40 or 50 years, but that's under ideal conditions. In L\u00e9vis, with our freeze-thaw cycles, the actual lifespan of shingles is generally between 15 and 25 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Facts verified by SRQ and manufacturers<\/b><\/h3>\n

Here's what we can confirm after years in the field:<\/span><\/p>\n

Metal lasts 2 to 3 times longer than shingles in our climate. It is more resistant to high winds (up to 190 km\/h for some models) and heavy snow. Manufacturers' warranties are generally 40 to 50 years, and RBQ-compliant installation ensures the promised durability.<\/span><\/p>\n

Architectural-quality shingles, properly installed with ice barrier membranes and adequate ventilation, can last 20 to 25 years in L\u00e9vis. It's a good choice if your budget is limited now and you want a reliable roof without investing 40,000 $ or more.<\/span><\/p>\n

FAQ: shingle vs. metal roofing in L\u00e9vis<\/b><\/h2>\n

Which roof in L\u00e9vis best withstands freeze-thaw?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Metal is more resistant to freeze-thaw cycles. Shingles absorb moisture, which freezes and thaws, causing them to crack and degrade faster. Metal repels water and doesn't suffer this structural damage.<\/span><\/p>\n

What's the budget for shingles or metal?<\/b><\/h3>\n

For a standard single-family home in L\u00e9vis, count between 12,000 and 24,000 $ for quality shingles, and between 26,000 and 56,000 $ for a metal roof. This includes tear-off, membranes, ventilation and RBQ-compliant installation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is metal noisier than shingles?<\/b><\/h3>\n

No, not with proper installation. Insulation and underlayment virtually eliminate the sound of rain or hail. Most of our customers tell us they can't hear a thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the average service life for each type?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Shingles last between 15 and 30 years in L\u00e9vis, depending on quality and maintenance. Metal lasts between 40 and 70 years, sometimes longer. That's a major difference when you calculate long-term costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do RBQ warranties cover freeze-thaw?<\/b><\/h3>\n

The RBQ legal warranty covers construction defects, including those caused by freeze-thaw if the installation has not been done properly. SRQ also offers a 5-year warranty on labor, in addition to manufacturers' warranties.<\/span><\/p>\n

What grants are available for roof renovation?<\/b><\/h3>\n

The R\u00e9noclimat program can offer grants if you improve insulation and ventilation at the same time as your roof. Criteria vary, but it's worth checking your eligibility before starting the work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recommended SRQ inspection: frequency and benefits?<\/b><\/h3>\n

We recommend one inspection in spring and one in fall. This allows us to detect lifted shingles, damaged flashings or ventilation problems before they cause infiltration. At SRQ, the basic inspection is free with a quotation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can metal be installed on an old shingle roof?<\/b><\/h3>\n

It depends on the condition of the structure. If the decking is solid and there's no rot, it's sometimes possible. But it's generally recommended to tear off the shingles to inspect the structure and make sure it can support the weight and fasteners of the metal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does snow slide too fast on metal?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Yes, snow slides much more easily on metal than on shingles. This is an advantage when it comes to avoiding overloading, but it can create snow avalanches near entrances. Snow guards can be installed to control the descent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are shingles always cheaper in the long run?<\/b><\/h3>\n

No. Over 40 years, you'll probably pay for two shingle installations, which can cost as much or more than a single metal installation. Metal becomes more cost-effective if you stay in your home for a long time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can shingles and metal be mixed on the same house?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Technically, yes, but it's not recommended for aesthetic and performance reasons. If you want to save money, it's better to choose quality shingles everywhere than to mix materials.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do I know if my structure can support a metal roof?<\/b><\/h3>\n

A structural inspection is carried out before metal is recommended. If trusses or rafters are weakened, they can be reinforced. But sometimes the cost of reinforcement makes the project less attractive financially.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion: choosing the right roof for your climate and budget<\/b><\/h2>\n

There's no wrong choice between shingles and metal. There's just the right choice for your situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you're on a tight budget and want a reliable roof for the next 20 years, well-installed quality shingles will do the job. If you want to invest once for the next 50 years and never think about it again, metal is hard to beat.<\/span><\/p>\n

At SRQ, we install both with the same rigor. We comply with RBQ standards, we use materials adapted to the L\u00e9vis climate, and we guarantee our work for 5 years.<\/span><\/p>\n
