Fastener, Seam and Flashing Repairs for Calgary Metal Roofs

Iron Shield Roofing provides metal roof repairs in Calgary for homes, acreages, shops and commercial buildings across Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, Chestermere and the surrounding area. A good metal roof can protect a building for decades. Even so, it may need repairs now and then to keep performing at its best.
Metal roofs handle most of what Calgary throws at them: ice, snow, strong wind and hail. However, truly severe storms and age can still cause damage. Prompt repairs, in turn, bring your roof back to full strength. Read on to see how metal roof repairs in Calgary work with our team.

What Is a Metal Roof?

A metal roofing system uses a coated steel core for strong, long-lasting protection. We install, maintain and repair metal shingles, exposed-fastener panels and standing seam roofs, so whatever is on your building, we can fix it.
Metal roofs have a long history in Alberta, starting on farms, grain bins and industrial buildings. They were built to go on quickly and be easy to repair, and that is still true today.
Now, more homeowners and businesses across Calgary and area choose metal for its performance, low maintenance and wide range of colours. With proper care, it gives any building decades of protection.

What Goes Into a Metal Roof?

We work with metal shingles, standing seam panels and stone-coated steel. Each is made a little differently, but all of them start with a solid steel core.
Steel has been trusted for centuries because it is strong and durable. On top of that core, metal roofing gets protective layers on both sides.
Depending on the product, those layers include:

Galvalume (a coating of aluminum, zinc and silicon)

Pre-treatments

Epoxy

Sealants

Silicone-modified polyester resin

Polyvinylidene fluoride

Dyes and colourants

Together, these layers make the roof water-resistant, flexible, strong and slow to fade. Stone-coated steel adds stone granules for the look of shingles, shake or tile with the protection of steel.

Why Metal Roofs Suit Calgary

Metal roofs are a great fit for Calgary because they stand up to so many weather hazards. For example, hail, UV, heavy storms and wildlife damage many roofing materials, but they have a much harder time hurting a steel roof.
In fact, quality metal roofing is tested and rated against hazards such as:

Wind Uplift

Impacts Such as Hail

Fire

Snow and Ice Accumulation

Salt Spray Fog

Accelerated Weathering

Traffic Load

UV Radiation

Because metal resists water damage from snow, ice and rain, it is a strong choice for Calgary buildings. Standing seam roofs, in particular, shed snow and ice quickly to help prevent winter damage.

Signs Your Metal Roof Needs Repairs

Metal roofs are strong and resilient. Still, even the best roof needs a repair now and then, especially after a major hailstorm, a heavy winter or an impact from a falling branch. After several decades, it is also normal for fasteners and sealants to need attention.
Some damage is obvious. For instance, rust, missing pieces or bent panels mean you should call us right away. Other problems are harder to spot because they show up inside the building. Here are common signs your roof needs repair:

Rising utility costs

Leaks or drips

Increased humidity in the home

Drafts

Water damage on ceilings and walls

Insect or pest infestations

Unusual noises from above

Prompt repairs are the best way to bring your roof back to full performance. In short, we fix problems while they are small and stop them from spreading.

STANDING SEAM METAL ROOFING PANELS

Standing seam roofs use long panels with raised seams that shed snow and ice. Repairs usually involve seams, fasteners, flashings or snow guards, and we match the profile and colour as closely as possible.

STONE-COATED STEEL ROOFING SHINGLES

Stone-coated steel combines a steel core with a stone granule finish. We repair loose or damaged panels and worn areas so the roof keeps its look and its protection.
