In this 2025 guide, we’ll walk you through what you can expect when it comes to the cost of metal roofing in Canada, with a focus on Ontario homes. We’ll break down pricing, explore the factors that impact your quote, and share how Roof Pros Plus keeps prices low while delivering top-quality installations.

Average Cost of Metal Roofing in Canada (2025 Estimates)
In 2025, the average cost for metal roofing in Canada ranges from $9 to $15 per square foot, depending on materials and complexity. That means a typical Canadian home could expect to pay between $18,000 and $30,000 for a complete metal roof installation.
But here’s where we do things differently at Roof Pros Plus:
Because we manufacture our own metal roofing products right here in Ontario, and handle everything in-house. For example, we have no middlemen, no out-of-province or country markup, and we offer the most competitive pricing in Ontario. In fact, while many metal roofing companies can still be double or triple the cost of asphalt from a reputable asphalt company, we often find ourselves to be only slightly above. When comparing the value for cost between both, it becomes apparent that we are the superior choice.
When you compare that to asphalt shingles (which may cost less upfront, averaging $6–$8 per square foot), it’s clear why metal roofing is the better investment. Metal roofs come with lifetime warranties, and require far less maintenance or no maintenance depending on the style, saving you money year after year.
Metal Roof Cost in Ontario
Prices for metal roofing may vary province to province depending on production, products available, and the type of installation companies in the area. In Ontario, homeowners can expect to pay slightly less than the national average thanks to more localized production and easier material access, especially if you choose a local company like Roof Pros Plus.
Average cost per square foot in Ontario: $8.50–$13.50
Full roof installation on a standard Ontario home: $14,000–$22,000
Urban vs rural pricing: In some rural areas, installation may be slightly higher due to travel costs or remote access. But we service even the most remote areas, island properties included, and work hard to keep prices fair for every customer. For example, as our roof is installed directly to the roof deck unlike some metal roof products such as standing seam panels. Not only does our installation cost and maintenance decrease, but our durability increases. This is especially beneficial in remote areas where regular roof maintenance may not be available.
By keeping all aspects of our business Ontario-based, we reduce transportation costs, delays, and overhead. Our product in made in Ontario for Ontario. That means we pass real savings directly on to you, without sacrificing quality or performance.
Factors That Influence the Cost
Every roof is different. Here are the biggest factors that influence your metal roofing estimate:
1. Type of Metal Used
At Roof Pros Plus, we use Armadura metal roofing. Armadura produces a high-performance, Canadian-made steel roofing system designed for Ontario’s tough weather. Unlike many other companies that rely on imported steel, our metal is sourced and manufactured right here in Ontario, which helps us keep quality high and prices low.
Our roofing system uses interlocking panels, which lock together on all four sides for superior strength and weather resistance. This design is a major upgrade from traditional standing seam roofs, which can have exposed fasteners and are more prone to leaks and wind damage over time. Interlocking panels provide a cleaner look, tighter seal, and longer-lasting protection all at a better value and cost. For example, due to the nature of using smaller interlocking panels, we are able to maneuver our metal to fit even the most challenging roof shapes, such as a roof turret This would not be possible with other roofing materials.
By choosing local steel and a better system, we offer a roof that’s stronger, longer-lasting, and more affordable than many alternatives.
2. Style & Roof Complexity
A simple gable to gable roof costs less to install than a steep, multi-angle or dormered roof. The more complex the layout, the more labour and time is involved. This is true no matter what style of roofing material you choose, and is important to take into consideration when gathering quotes. For example, your price will be more than your neighbours if your roof is much higher, steeper, and cut up which would not only require more Labour, but special material such as extra ridge caps. It is also important to note that looks can be deceiving, and due to many factors such as different styles of pitches, as a roof may have more roofing square footage than what it may seem.
3. Labour Costs
Our installers are experienced professionals who take pride in their work. And because we don’t subcontract our labour, we control quality and cost, and deliver consistently high standards at a lower price. Many companies, sub contract out labours, which greatly affects the volatility of the cost depending on which sub contractor they can get at the time, and the price they choose to charge. Therefore it is greatly important to do research in ensuring you choose the right company, that acquires labours who not only charge accordingly, but who are trained, certified, and care. For example, all our installers are trained and certified by the manufacturer to install the product correctly. This allows for a strong 50 year warranty from the manufacturer.
It is important to note that in comparison to asphalt shingles, the cost for your metal roof should be approximately 70% material, 30% labour. As it is a much higher quality material vs asphalt shingles the cost is greater in that regard, but the labour is much less as steel is a much more efficient and environmentally friendly install. An asphalt quote is the opposite, having a higher cost of 70% labour and 30% material as the product is much lower in quality and much more labour intensive.
4. Old Roof Removal (if needed)
In many cases, we can install your new metal roof directly over your existing shingles, saving you removal costs. For example, Armadura warranties the roof with the 50 year warranty overtop of up to two layers of asphalt underneath. As our roofing system is installed directly to the deck, we are able to cut back anything wrong with the asphalt shingles, add on a synthetic underlayment, and add our metal roofing material right overtop. Saving homeowners on not only the cost of removal, but as well as the cost to haul away and disposal fees. It is important to note that not all steel roofs are designed the same, and there are several factors that impact the cost of the installation. For instance, some require a strapping system to be made in order to install the roof. This not only increases the cost, but decreases the durability as the roof can longer be walked on, and increases the maintenance which ads to the cost factor overtime.
5. Warranties
At Roof Pros Plus, we believe your roof should be the last one you ever need, and we stand behind that promise. That’s why every installation comes with a lifetime product warranty directly from the manufacturer and a comprehensive workmanship guarantee. We don’t just install roofs; we build long-term peace of mind into every project.
These warranties aren’t add-ons, they’re part of the value we deliver from day one. Our customers trust us because they know we’re here for the long haul, with the quality, service, and support to back it up.
Long-Term Value & Cost Savings
Investing in a metal roof isn’t just about durability, it’s about making a smart, long-term financial decision for your home. At Roof Pros Plus, we help Ontario homeowners save money not just on installation, but over the entire lifespan of their roof.
One of the biggest advantages? No more constant repairs or full roof replacements every 10 to 15 years. Our metal roofing systems are built to last a lifetime with minimal maintenance, saving you thousands in upkeep costs and replacements over the years.
Metal roofs are also incredibly energy efficient. They reflect heat from the sun, helping to keep your home cooler in the summer and reducing your reliance on air conditioning. That means lower energy bills, something every Ontario homeowner can appreciate, especially during extreme seasonal temperatures.
And if you’re thinking long term, a metal roof is a major selling point. Buyers love the idea of a roof they’ll never have to replace, which can boost your home’s resale value and make it more attractive when it’s time to sell. With our 50 year transferrable warranty, our metal roof has proven to increase the homes resale value by up to 6%, helping homeowners save even more in the long run.
Financing Options & Provincial Rebates
We believe every homeowner should have access to a reliable, worry-free roof, no matter their budget. That’s why we’ve partnered with Financeit to offer flexible payment plans that make metal roofing more accessible. You can get the roof you need now and pay over time with manageable monthly payments and quick approval.
While Ontario currently doesn’t offer a province-wide rebate for metal roofing, some homeowners may qualify for energy efficiency incentives or home improvement programs, especially when upgrading from older, less efficient materials. For instance, many of our clients are able to get a discount on their home insurance once switching to our metal roof. Our team can help you explore your options during the quoting process.
