What is the difference between traditional standing-seam and a similar-looking factory panel?

Visually, both show vertical lines. In install: factory panels come pre-profiled and are screwed down. Traditional standing-seam is folded and locked on site, panel by panel — better weather-tightness and roughly 25 % longer service life.

Do you do annual metal-roof inspections in Prévost?

We offer inspection visits for our own roofs and roofs installed by others. Particularly useful in the cliffs area where moss and deciduous-tree debris accumulate.

My shingle roof is 18 years old and shedding granules — metal or new shingles?

At 18 years, that’s the right time to ask. A quality factory-coated metal panel lasts 35–40 years versus 20–25 for shingles. Over 40 years, metal often costs less per square metre.

Prévost · Laurentides

Prévost — particularly Old Shawbridge, the cliffs along the Rivière du Nord and Parc des Falaises — is a mix of homes bordering outdoor recreation, with standard-pitch roofs. Local concerns: durability under tree shade and snow management on the area’s steeper slopes.

What we install most often

Prévost.

In Prévost, our work leans toward zinc or aluminum standing-seam for primary residences, with a few copper projects on properties along Chemin du Lac-Écho and Chemin du Lac-Saint-François. Asphalt shingles are often replaced by factory-coated metal panels these days.
