Metal Roofing in Newmarket, Ontario

Newmarket sits in the Holland River valley south of Lake Simcoe, far enough from Georgian Bay that it misses the worst of the squalls that hit our Barrie shop. What it gets instead is a long run of winter days hovering around freezing, so snow melts by afternoon and refreezes at the eaves overnight. On the split-level houses that make up so much of the older suburbs, that meltwater runs from an upper roof onto a lower one and stalls at the junction, which is where leaks on these houses usually begin.

Lower Main Street South is a designated Heritage Conservation District, and work on the outside of a house inside it generally needs the Town's sign-off. If your home is in the district or individually designated, talk to Newmarket's heritage staff before settling on a panel profile or colour; we will bring samples and a written specification you can take to that conversation. Outside the core, check whether your street or townhouse complex has its own rules on roof colour before you sign with anyone.
