Why Walkerton homeowners go metal
We have finished 26 roofs in Walkerton since 2009, and 15 of them in the last four years alone. Most people who call us here are replacing a roof for the second or third time and have decided they are done doing it. The colors that go on most often around Walkerton are Burnished Slate, Copper Penny and Rustic Red.
Walkerton splits close to even, 58 out of 100 exposed fastener and the rest concealed. When a town runs that way it usually means the houses are worth the upgrade and the outbuildings are not, which is exactly how we would advise it anyway.
Freeze thaw is what shortens a roof in Walkerton. Asphalt shingles lose granules every cycle and the south face always goes first. Steel does not shed anything, so the roof you put on is the roof you have in thirty years.
We fabricate every panel at our shop on US 33 in Goshen, so panels come cut to your roof rather than to a stock length. Fewer seams, fewer places for water to think about getting in.

Masterlok Lifetime 100
Our most popular low-profile standing seam panel. Fasteners hide under the seam so nothing penetrates the weather surface. Available with or without striations.
