Looking for long-lasting, low-maintenance, and stylish roofing in Surrey, BC? Metal roofing is one of the strongest, most energy-efficient, and most weather-resistant roofing systems available today.
Homeowners in Surrey choose metal roofing because it performs exceptionally well in BC’s rainy climate, withstands strong winds, resists fire, and lasts for decades with minimal upkeep. At I-M Roofing Ltd, we specialize in premium metal roof installation designed to protect your home year-round while giving it a modern, high-end look.
Whether you’re upgrading an old roof, building a new home, or looking for an energy-efficient option, metal roofing offers superior durability and long-term value that traditional shingles can’t match.
Metal roofing offers many advantages for Surrey homeowners. Here are the key benefits
Metal roofs last 40–70 years, far longer than asphalt shingles. This saves you from frequent replacements and major repair costs.
Surrey’s heavy rain, wind, and moisture require strong roofing. Metal roofing:
Doesn’t warp
Doesn’t rot
Doesn’t crack
Resists storm damage
Metal roofs need very little upkeep — no mold, no moss growth, no frequent repairs.
Metal roofing reflects sunlight, reducing heat absorption and lowering cooling costs in summer.
At I-M Roofing Ltd, we follow a detailed, proven method to ensure your metal roof is installed flawlessly.
We examine the existing roof structure, attic ventilation, and moisture levels to plan a safe, durable installation.
We help you choose:
Standing seam metal
Metal shingles

Metal roofing costs $22,000 to $48,000 for most Surrey homes, depending on style and home size.
| Home Size | Roof Area | Corrugated | Metal Shingles | Standing Seam |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,500 sq ft bungalow | 1,800-2,200 sq ft | $18,000 to $24,000 | $22,000 to $28,000 | $26,000 to $35,000 |
| 2,000 sq ft split-level | 2,400-3,000 sq ft | $24,000 to $32,000 | $30,000 to $38,000 | $36,000 to $48,000 |
| 2,500 sq ft two-story | 3,000-3,800 sq ft | $30,000 to $40,000 | $38,000 to $48,000 | $45,000 to $60,000 |
| 3,000+ sq ft large | 3,800-5,000 sq ft | $38,000 to $50,000 | $48,000 to $65,000 | $60,000 to $85,000 |
What affects the price:
Metal gauge (24-gauge is thicker and costs more than 26-gauge)
Panel length (shorter panels = more seams = more labor)
Roof complexity (valleys, dormers, skylights increase cost)
Color (standard colors cost less than custom colors)
Existing roof removal ($1,500-$4,000)
Every home is different. Call 236-838-9577 for a quote specific to your roof.
Metal costs more upfront but saves you money over time.
| Factor | Asphalt Shingles | Metal Roofing |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost (2,000 sq ft home) | $16,000 to $21,000 | $30,000 to $48,000 |
| Lifespan in Surrey | 18-22 years | 40-60 years |
| Replacements needed in 40 years | 2 (replace at year 20 and 40) | 0 (one roof lasts 40+ years) |
| Total cost over 40 years | $32,000 to $42,000 + inflation | $30,000 to $48,000 |
| Maintenance cost over 40 years | $2,000 to $4,000 | $500 to $1,000 |
| Total cost over 40 years | $34,000 to $46,000 | $30,500 to $49,000 |
| Moss treatment required | Yes (every 2-3 years) | No (moss slides off metal) |
| Insurance discount | No | Yes (10-15% lower premiums) |
| Home value increase | Moderate | Higher (buyers pay more for metal) |
The math:
Asphalt at year 20: $18,000 replacement. Total by year 40: $36,000 + maintenance.
Metal at year 0: $36,000. Total by year 40: $36,000 + minimal maintenance.
If you plan to stay in your home for 20+ years, metal is cost-competitive with asphalt. If you plan to sell within 10 years, asphalt may be the better financial choice.
Metal costs more upfront but saves you money over 40 years. Call 236-838-9577 to see the difference.
Metal roofing lasts 40-60 years in Surrey’s climate. Here is why.
| Factor | Impact on Metal Roof |
|---|---|
| Heavy rain (1,200-1,600mm/year) | Metal sheds water quickly. No absorption. |
| Moss and algae | Moss does not grow on metal. It slides off. |
| Freeze-thaw cycles (40-60 per year) | Metal expands and contracts. No cracking. |
| Wind (50-70 km/h) | Metal panels are screwed down. Wind cannot lift them. |
| UV exposure | Metal reflects UV. Paint systems (Kynar) protect against fading. |
What eventually fails on a metal roof:
Fasteners (exposed screws on corrugated roofs)
Seams (standing seam is more durable)
Paint (fading after 20-30 years)
Flashing (around chimneys and penetrations)
With proper maintenance, a standing seam metal roof can last 50+ years. Corrugated with exposed fasteners typically lasts 30-40 years.
See our roof lifespan guide for comparisons with other materials.

| Blues | Harbor Blue, Steel Blue | Coastal-style homes |
| Whites | White, Almond, Cream | Modern homes, beach-style homes |
| Black | Black, Onyx | Bold contrast, contemporary design |
Popular Surrey choices:

See our full roof replacement process for more details.
1. Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?
No. Metal roofs are installed over solid decking and underlayment. The sound is similar to asphalt shingles. In heavy rain, you may hear a slight pinging sound, but it is not loud.
2. Will a metal roof make my home hotter in summer?
No. Metal reflects solar radiation. It actually keeps your home cooler than dark asphalt shingles. Many metal roofs have reflective coatings that reduce cooling costs by 10-20%.
3. Can a metal roof be installed over existing shingles?
Yes, in some cases. Metal can be installed over one layer of asphalt shingles if the decking is solid. However, we recommend tear-off for a proper inspection and to ensure the underlayment is installed correctly.
4. Does a metal roof attract lightning?
No. Metal roofs do not attract lightning more than any other material. In fact, metal is non-combustible and safer in lightning strikes (it dissipates the energy).
5. How do I maintain a metal roof?
Annual inspections. Check fasteners on corrugated roofs. Clear debris from valleys and drains. Remove any leaves or branches that sit on the roof. Moss does not grow on metal, so no moss treatment needed.
6. Does a metal roof come with a warranty?
Yes. 40-50 year manufacturer warranty on the metal panels and paint. 10-year workmanship warranty from Imroofs.
