Introduction

Ontario homeowners know that “four seasons” can sometimes feel like four kinds of storms. From heavy blizzards and thick ice build-up to fierce wind warnings and sudden downpours, our province faces some of the toughest weather in Canada. That’s why the question often comes up: Can one roof really handle it all?

At Roof Pros Plus, we’ve made it our mission to provide a clear answer, yes. Our premium Armadura metal roofing systems are made in Ontario for Ontario. They are engineered to withstand everything Ontario’s climate can deliver, all while maintaining the style, durability, and value your home deserves.

The Science Behind Metal Roofing Systems

The secret to metal roofing’s strength lies in its design and construction. Our interlocking panel systems create a tight, storm-proof seal, making them ideal for the unpredictable weather that sweeps across Ontario. Each panel is crafted from high-grade galvanized steel and coated for maximum corrosion resistance, ensuring that moisture, snow, and wind stay exactly where they belong — outside.

Unlike traditional asphalt shingles that can lift, curl, or crack over time, our Armadura metal roofs remain solid and secure year after year. The result is a roofing system that not only looks great but performs flawlessly under pressure.

Winter-Ready Roofing

Winter is where metal roofing truly shines. Instead of trapping snow, metal panels naturally shed snow and ice, reducing the risk of heavy buildup and potential roof collapse which can occur with standard asphalt shingles. This is a critical feature for homeowners in Northern Ontario’s snow belt regions, as it helps reduce the risk of building ice backups on homeowners roof, which can often lead to a leak.

We also offer snow guards, which help control how snow melts and slides off your roof. This prevents sudden “roof avalanches” that can damage property or endanger anyone nearby. With Roof Pros Plus, your home stays safer and stronger through every snowfall.

Outlasting High Winds & Storm Surges

Our metal roofs don’t just endure storms, they’re tested and rated to withstand them. Armadura metal roofing panels have undergone rigorous wind, hail, and fire testing to ensure it can handle Ontario’s most intense gusts.

Installation quality is just as important as the product itself. Roof Pros Plus uses a hidden fastener system, securing each panel firmly in place. This not only adds to the sleek, seamless appearance but ensures superior wind resistance, giving homeowners greater peace of mind and even potential insurance savings in storm-prone areas.

Keeping Rain Out, Season After Season

Rain might be a common visitor in Ontario, but with a Roof Pros Plus metal roof, it’s never a concern. The smooth, non-porous surface allows water to run off instantly, preventing absorption and softening which are two of the biggest causes of roof deterioration in traditional shingles.

Because our metal systems resist mold, mildew, and rot, homeowners can rest assured their roof will remain clean, strong, and dry year after year. It’s a system built not just to endure rain, but to outlast it.

Extreme Weather Bonus: Fire & Hail Resistance

Beyond snow, wind, and rain, metal roofing offers unmatched protection against fire and hail, two hazards becoming more common in recent years. Armadura metal roofs are non-combustible, which means they add a layer of fire protection to your home during lightning storms or wildfire threats.

They’re also proven to resist hail damage far better than asphalt shingles. This durability translates directly into long-term savings, fewer repairs, and less worry for homeowners who want real protection against the unexpected.

The Longevity Factor: One Roof, Decades of Protection

Unlike asphalt roofs that start breaking down after 10–15 years, our metal roofs are built for life. The performance doesn’t fade, it strengthens your home’s defense with every passing season. Metal handles freeze-thaw cycles effortlessly, without cracking, curling, or losing its form.

With a 50 year warranty, each Armadura roof installed by Roof Pros Plus is finished with a durable, weather-resistant coating, keeping its colour vibrant and its surface pristine even after decades of exposure to Ontario’s toughest conditions.
