Benefits of Metal Roofing for Calgary Properties
Calgary’s extreme weather demands roofing materials that perform when tested. Metal roofing provides measurable protection against our local climate challenges:
Chinook Wind Resistance
Metal roofing systems installed by HKS withstand sustained winds up to 180 km/h. Our interlocking panels and concealed fasteners eliminate the lifting and tearing that destroys asphalt shingles during Calgary’s notorious chinook events (averaging 30-35 occurrences annually).
Energy Efficiency in Temperature Extremes
Save 25% on summer cooling costs with reflective metal coatings that deflect Calgary’s intense UV rays. Combined with proper insulation, metal roofing maintains consistent indoor temperatures despite outdoor swings from -30°C to +30°C within 48 hours
Hail Impact Protection
Class 4 impact-rated metal roofing survives the softball-sized hail that devastated Calgary with $3.25 billion in damages during the August 2024 storm. Your insurance premiums drop 15-25% with certified impact-resistant roofing – HKS provides all documentation for your provider.
Snow Shedding Performance
Metal’s smooth surface sheds Calgary’s heavy, wet spring snow within 24-48 hours of accumulation, preventing the formation of damaging ice dams. Strategic snow guard placement (calculated for your roof’s pitch and orientation) protects walkways while preventing dangerous avalanches.

Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
Metal roof in Springbank
We went with standing seam metal roof after losing two asphalt roofs to hail in five years. Klodian was upfront that metal costs roughly double the shingles but walked us through the math on insurance savings and lifespan – it actually made sense long term. The install took about four days for our 2,800 sq ft bungalow. Two hail seasons in now with zero damage while our neighbours are filing claims again. Our insurance premium dropped 22% after we sent the product specs. Worth every dollar.
Steve & Marcia K. | Springbank
Steep pitch metal roofing
We have a rural acreage with a steep 8/12 pitch and heavy wind exposure – shingles used to blow off the west face almost every chinook season. Klodian recommended 26 gauge standing seam metal. His crew installed it in five days including all the custom flashing around our stone chimney and three plumbing vents. That was two winters ago and we’ve had multiple Chinooks since, and not a single issue. The roof sheds snow on its own now too!! Quieter than I expected during rain.

How much does metal roofing cost in Calgary?
Metal roofing in Calgary typically costs $650-850 per square (100 sq ft) installed, depending on the material chosen. Standing seam runs $550-850, while stone-coated steel tiles range $550-750. HKS Construction’s volume purchasing reduces these costs by 15-20% compared to smaller contractors.
Will metal roofing make my house noisy during Calgary hailstorms?
Modern metal roofing installed by HKS includes solid decking and insulation that reduces noise to levels equal or quieter than asphalt shingles. Our installation method specifically addresses Calgary’s frequent hail events – clients report less noise than with their previous roofs.
How long do metal roofs last in Calgary’s climate?
Properly installed metal roofs last 40-70 years in Calgary, despite chinooks, hail, and temperature extremes. HKS Construction’s galvalume and stone-coated steel systems carry 50-year warranties and have proven performance in Alberta since the 1970s.
Can you install metal roofing over existing shingles in Calgary?
Yes, Alberta building codes permit metal roofing installation over one layer of existing shingles. HKS Construction partners with structural engineers who inspect your roof structure first to ensure it supports the additional 1-2 pounds per square foot. This retrofit approach saves demolition costs and reduces landfill waste.
What metal roofing colour options work best for Calgary homes?
HKS Construction recommends lighter colours (grey, tan, light bronze) for Calgary properties to reflect summer heat and reduce cooling costs. Our showroom displays 32 standard colours plus custom options. Dark colour work well but may show chalk-fade after 15-20 years of UV exposure.
Does HKS Construction offer warranties on metal roof installations?
HKS provides a 10-year workmanship warranty on all metal roofing installations, backed by our $2 million liability insurance (policy no.50123QL7C) . Manufacturer warranties range from 30-50 years on materials.
