CGD Roofing specializes in standing seam metal roofing installation throughout Kawartha Lakes, Peterborough, and surrounding communities. Our team installs premium architectural metal roofing systems designed to perform in Ontario’s demanding climate while providing a clean, modern appearance.
Standing seam metal roofs have become increasingly popular throughout the Kawartha region due to their long lifespan, low maintenance, and excellent performance in snow and changing weather conditions. Many homeowners and cottage owners choose metal roofing systems because they provide durability and protection for decades.
We work with homeowners, builders, and renovation projects across Peterborough, Lindsay, Fenelon Falls, Bobcaygeon, and surrounding Kawartha communities, installing metal roofing systems built to withstand Ontario’s weather.
Climate Section
Roofing for Kawartha Lakes Weather
The Kawartha Lakes region experiences four distinct seasons, including snowy winters and warm summers. Communities such as Peterborough, Lindsay, and Fenelon Falls typically receive 150–200 cm (60–80 inches) of snow annually, along with seasonal rain and freeze-thaw cycles.
These seasonal changes can gradually wear down traditional roofing materials. Standing seam metal roofing systems are designed to perform well in these conditions because they provide long-term durability and resistance to weather-related damage.
For cottages and homes located near the region’s many lakes, metal roofing also offers the benefit of minimal maintenance and long lifespan, making it a popular roofing option across Kawartha Lakes.
Replacing Older Cottage Roofs in Kawartha Lakes
Many cottages and homes throughout the Kawartha Lakes region were originally built with asphalt shingle roofs that require replacement after years of exposure to Ontario weather. Homeowners across Peterborough, Lindsay, and Fenelon Falls are increasingly upgrading to standing seam metal roofing systems because they provide a longer lifespan and require less maintenance.
Standing seam metal roofing offers a durable roofing solution for lakefront cottages and rural homes throughout the Kawartha region.
Why Standing Seam is Phenominal in the Kawartha Lakes
Why Many Kawartha Homes and Cottages Use Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofs offer several advantages that make them well suited for properties throughout the Kawartha region.
Long Lifespan
Standing seam metal roofs can last 40–50 years or longer, making them one of the longest-lasting roofing systems available.
Performance in Snow and Rain
Homes throughout Kawartha Lakes experience heavy snow and seasonal weather changes. Standing seam roofing systems are designed to perform well in these conditions.
Snow Shedding
The smooth metal surface allows snow to slide off more easily compared to traditional shingles, reducing snow buildup.
Low Maintenance
Because the fasteners are concealed beneath the seams, standing seam roofs require less maintenance over time.
Architectural Appearance
Standing seam metal roofs create clean vertical lines that complement modern cottages, lakefront homes, and custom builds.
History of Metal Roofing in the Kawartha Region
Metal roofing has long been used throughout the Kawartha Lakes region on farmhouses, cottages, and lakeside properties. Early buildings in the area often used corrugated steel roofing because it provided long-term durability and required very little maintenance.
Many cottages across the Kawarthas were originally built with metal roofs because the material could withstand snow, rain, and seasonal temperature changes common to Ontario lakefront properties.
Modern standing seam metal roofing systems evolved from these traditional metal roofs. Today’s systems use concealed fasteners and raised seams to create a watertight roofing system while maintaining the durability that metal roofs have been known for for generations.
Because of this reliability, standing seam metal roofing has become a popular choice for lakefront cottages, rural homes, and modern custom builds throughout Kawartha Lakes and Peterborough County.

CGD Roofing installs several standing seam roofing systems depending on the preparation work required and the level of architectural detailing desired.
