At Donaldson Construction, we work with various steel roofing products to meet different aesthetic preferences and functional requirements. Some options include:

Standing Seam Steel Roofing: This style features raised seams where panels join, creating a distinctive look.

Steel Shingles: These mimic the appearance of traditional shingles but offer the durability of steel.

Corrugated Steel Roofing: This classic style is often used on agricultural and industrial buildings but can also work for some residential applications.

Stone-Coated Steel Roofing: This option combines the strength of steel with the appearance of other roofing materials like shakes or tiles.

Our team can discuss these options with you to find the right fit for your property and preferences.

Warranty Considerations: Some roofing product warranties may require professional installation to remain valid.

Steel roofs can last many years, often outlasting traditional asphalt shingle roofs. However, the exact lifespan depends on factors such as the specific product, installation, and local climate conditions.

Modern steel roofing systems, when properly installed with appropriate underlayment and insulation, should not be significantly noisier than other roofing materials during rain.

Steel roofs can reflect sunlight, potentially helping to reduce cooling costs in summer months. However, actual energy savings can vary depending on factors such as your home’s insulation, local climate, and specific roofing product.

The initial cost of steel roofing is typically higher than asphalt shingles. However, steel roofs often last longer and may require less maintenance over time, which could result in long-term cost savings for some homeowners.

In some cases, steel roofing can be installed over an existing roof. However, this depends on factors such as the condition of your current roof and local building codes. Our team can assess your specific situation during a site inspection.

Steel roofing is designed to withstand harsh winter conditions, including heavy snow loads. Many steel roofing products feature a smooth surface that can help snow slide off more easily than some other roofing materials.

Steel roofing is generally lighter than traditional materials like clay or concrete tiles. However, it’s typically heavier than asphalt shingles. The exact weight depends on the specific product. Our team can assess whether your home’s structure can support steel roofing during the site inspection.

While steel roofs are durable, they’re not designed for regular foot traffic. Walking on a steel roof without proper precautions can cause damage or create safety risks. If roof access is necessary, it’s best to consult with professionals who have the right equipment and experience.

Steel roofing itself doesn’t provide significant insulation. However, during installation, we can add insulation materials to enhance your home’s energy efficiency. The air gap between the steel roof and your attic can also contribute to better insulation when properly ventilated.

Steel roofing doesn’t typically make a house colder. Proper insulation and ventilation are key factors in maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures year-round. During installation, we can discuss options to ensure your home remains warm in Kingston’s cold winters.
