And, since one Hy-Grade roof lasts as long as four asphalt roofs, installing a Hy-Grade roof means at least eight tonnes of waste are kept out of landfills! Here are a few more ways our roofs are eco-friendly:

Frequently Asked Questions

Hy-Grade Steel Roofs are very competitively priced. The total cost of a roof involves many variables including, square footage, pitch, roof type and how many ancillary parts are needed, such as vents. Typically, a Hy-Grade Steel Roof is more expensive than a single standard asphalt roof, but far less expensive over the long term. Hy-Grade Steel Roofs come with a 50-year warranty while the average asphalt roof needs repairs or replacement after 12 years. That’s one Hy-Grade Steel Roof for every four asphalt roofs!

When you’re ready for a quote, one of our roofing consultants will visit your home, take measurements, then provide your quote. All Hy-Grade Steel Roof quotes are honoured as the final price, barring any unforeseen issues.

We offer two warranties: a 50-year no-leak warranty on the product, and a lifetime warranty on our workmanship. Our warranties are the simplest on the market; no hidden fees, no deductibles, no fine print. We guarantee it. Every warranty can be transferred to future homeowners with no limits.

Click here for more information about our warranties.

Your Hy-Grade Steel Roof is last roof you’ll ever need to buy ! We’re so confident in our quality and workmanship, that we back every roof with a lifetime workmanship guarantee and a 50-year no-leak warranty.

Read more about our warranties here.

A Hy-Grade Steel Roof is engineered to withstand all facets of Ontario’s harsh weather conditions. Our roofing system is very strong and durable, made with 26-gauge, G-90 double-galvanized Canadian steel and coated with 4-mil thick PVC coating that’s elastic enough to expand and contract with the steel. Our system is tested to withstand sustained winds of up to 120 km/h. That’s hurricane-level winds! It will not crack, chip, peel or lift when struck by hail or heavy winds. We are confident Hy-Grade Steel Roofs can withstand whatever climate change impacts come our way.

In case of a fire that starts inside your home, a metal roof can help contain the fire and minimize structural damage. A metal roof is often more lightweight than other roofing materials like tile and asphalt shingles. A metal roof also helps keep a fire in your home from spreading to your neighbours’ homes or your outbuildings.

Learn more about how a metal roof can mitigate the effects of fire

Steel roofs do not attract lightning any more than other roof types. In fact, should your Hy-Grade Roof be hit by lightning, it may be safer than traditional roofing materials. A steel roof is non-combustible, so it will not burn if struck by lightning.

When our competition says screws are better than nails to fasten a steel roof, even they don’t believe it! How do we know? Some of our competitors tried to duplicate our system, but had to stop due to patent infringement. Today, Hy-Grade Steel Roofs are the only layered metal roofs on the market fastened with nails instead of screws.

Because screws need to be tightly fastened to be flush with the metal, tears frequently occur during installation. Later, due to normal expansion and contraction of the steel between seasons, the threads routinely stress the sockets causing even more tears and loosening. All of this damage leads to leaks and other issues.

In contrast, the smooth-shank nails and patented built-in sockets used by Hy-Grade fasten the steel without tearing or creating gaps. Plus, there are no threads to stress the metal across seasons. This means no re-tightening of screws every year!

Additionally, because screws take more time to fasten than nails, our competitors only screw in roughly half the number of panels to save in labour costs. This results in a looser fit that’s more likely to leak. Hy-Grade’s patented system – using double strapping, nails and our moulded socket – provides a durable, leak-proof fit.

Yes! Hy-Grade Steel Roofs are tinted with a weather, crack, and peel-resistant PVC. They’re available in seven colours: black, canner’s brown, charcoal grey, dark brown, hunter’s green, and tile red.

Double roof strapping refers to the “frame” built to support and secure your new roof. Hy-Grade’s double-strapped steel roofing system provides ventilation, which may help to keep your attic cooler in summer and warmer in winter. With proper attic insulation and ventilation, your home can be more energy efficient.

Click here to learn more about strapping.

YES! Your existing asphalt roof can stay right where it is. The Hy-Grade Steel Roofing System is designed to be installed over your existing roof. In most cases, your existing roof doesn’t need to be removed, saving time and associated costs. This also means no materials, like asphalt shingles, are dumped in the landfill.

Read how this helps make a Hy-Grade Steel roof environmentally friendly.

Not any noisier than your current roof. We strap and install our materials over the existing shingles, creating an additional noise barrier. Our double-strapping system creates a 6-8 cm gap between your existing roof and the Hy-Grade roof shakes. Along with providing important, energy-saving ventilation, the gap affords sound attenuation. Many Hy-Grade customers actually report less noise heard inside the house during rain and hail storms.

Learn how steel roofs have evolved to reduce noise

We sub-contract our roofing installers to ensure the highest quality work. After every installation, our Quality Control Inspection team reviews the installers’ work; if something doesn’t meet our standards, the installation crew is required to fix it or have Hy-Grade fix it and be billed. By requiring our installers to pass each QC before the job is considered complete, this sub contracted arrangement ensures the highest quality roofing installations for our clients.

As a family owned business, our company values are the same as our family values. We believe strongly that a promise made is a promise kept. To ensure our warranties will be honoured for decades down the road, we’ve installed a Legacy plan. Hy-Grade was founded by Tom Ware in 1988. Today, his son Ryan and daughter Kristen run the business. In addition to family, Hy-Grade employs many people dedicated to its ongoing success. All of our roof installations are inspected by our Quality Control Team to ensure the roof meets our high standards; it’s on this foundation that we have complete confidence that every Hy-Grade Steel Roof will last a lifetime.

What our customers say about Kwaku:
“Your service rep (Kwaku) was recently out to my property to complete the final warranty installation inspection. As my property is hidden, he met one of my neighbours and got directions. As they were talking, the neighbour inquired as to a roof leak with the local community hall, an old school house from the 30’s.

He wanted to know what it would take to put one of your roofs on the old building and how much fundraising would be needed. The young man took 30 minutes out of his day to have a look and not only review the building but take out his ladder and make a 5-minute fix with caulking to close the existing leak. This simple act was the talk of the community at the recent fall festival and fundraiser. It was so kind of him do perform this out the generosity of his heart and on behalf of representing your company.

From Leslie Jenkins and her installation crew to your inspector (Kwaku), your company has left a lasting impression. Please let the inspector be aware of the great effort. We will definitely get a quote when we can raise the funds needed to keep this historic treasure alive.” – Ken M., Verona, Ontario

Lukas Ramsdale, Service Manager

Lukas Ramsdale is the man in charge when it comes to service at Hy-Grade Steel Roofing. As the Service Manager, he’s the go-to guy for any issues or concerns with your roof. When he’s not hard at work, he’s enjoying his newlywed bliss with his wife and their newborn son. And yes, he’s not getting much sleep these days due to the little one, but he’s still giving his all at work.

When he does have some free time, Lukas loves to golf. He’s always up for a round, rain or shine. He’s also quite the sandwich-making connoisseur, which means he knows how to stack his bread just right. But don’t ask him the colours of the cold cuts – he’s colourblind, and he’ll be the first to admit that he sometimes gets them mixed up. Nevertheless, he doesn’t let that slow him down as Sandwich King and being the best Service Manager he can be.

Scott Millar, Delivery Driver

Scott Millar has been delivering our steel roofing with precision since 2008. When he’s not on the road, he’s probably coaching one of his kids’ sports teams. As a proud father of three, Scott is always on the go. His dedication to his children doesn’t stop on the field or in the carpool lane.

Scott loves nothing more than being at home, hanging out with his family, and cheering on his beloved Leafs. After years of disappointment, he was over the moon when they finally made it through the first round of playoffs. It’s the little things, right? When Scott’s not delivering steel roofing or coaching his kids, you can probably find him at home grilling up something delicious for his family. He takes his food seriously and enjoys trying out new recipes in the kitchen.

Bryan Sibbilin, Roofing Trainer

Meet Bryan, our in-house trainer who is passionate about two things: roofing and pizza! He’s been with us since 2008 when he started as an installer and has since become our go-to guy for training our new installers since 2019.

When he’s not teaching others the tricks of the trade, Bryan can be found spoiling his French Bulldog – his fur baby and the apple of his eye. He loves taking his pup on long walks and giving him all the attention he can handle. When it comes to sports, Bryan is a die-hard fan of the Dallas Cowboys. He’s been cheering them on since he was a kid and still gets just as excited about the games as he did back then.

And finally, the thing that gets Bryan through the day? Pizza. He could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if he could! So if you’re looking to bribe him, now you know how. Just make sure it’s the good stuff – none of that frozen grocery store pizza will do!

Interestingly, Matt and all of his siblings were born on the first of the month, adding a fun twist to their birthdays! Matt’s also got some pretty awesome lifelong friendships going on! He’s still tight with four buddies from his kindergarten days, and they’ve got some epic stories to share.

But Guy’s interests don’t stop there – he’s also an accomplished drag performer who once (accidentally) won an impromptu drag dress-up competition and earned the nickname “Lucky Legs”.

Guy’s combination of dedication to family, a can-do attitude, and a fun-loving spirit makes him an excellent addition to our team. We’re proud to have him on board as a Sales Coordinator and excited to see what he’ll achieve in the future.

Glenn is a man who likes things in order, and chaos is definitely not his cup of tea.

Wayne Shusta, Chief Operating Officer

Allow me to introduce you to the legend of our company, Chief Operating Officer, Wayne Shutsa. Wayne’s been with us since the dawn of time – okay, since 1993 – and rumor has it, he was so committed to his job that he actually came with the building! With over 40 years of marriage, Wayne’s seen it all, but still manages to be a family man at heart with three grandkids that he loves more than anything.

Although he’s not the most experienced globetrotter, Wayne can brag about one thing – his honeymoon in the Bahamas, which he still reminisces about like it was yesterday. With his charming personality and unwavering commitment to our company, Wayne is truly a gem in our organization. We’re so lucky to have him, even if we’re not entirely sure how he got here in the first place.
