Instant estimate · Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands
Price your metal roof in about two minutes.
Type your address. We find your house on the satellite map and measure it, you check the outline, and you see the range straight away.
You see the number first. We only ask for your details afterwards, if you want it in writing.
It is an estimate from your roof’s outline and your answers, not a quote. A real number needs someone looking at the roof.
We deliver to Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands: Nanaimo, Parksville and Qualicum, Port Alberni, Courtenay and Comox, Duncan and the Cowichan Valley, Greater Victoria, Campbell River, Salt Spring and the other Gulf Islands.

Is this your house?
Finding the building…
Trace only the outside edge of the roof. Ignore the ridges and valleys inside it. For an L-shape or a bump-out, tap a + on any edge to add a corner, or use Add another box for a wing or a garage.
Drag the box onto your roof
- Drag each white corner onto a corner of the roof. A magnifier shows what is under your finger.
- Tap a + on any edge to add a corner for an L-shape or a bump-out.
- Use Add another box for a wing or a detached garage.
This outline looks small. Does it cover your whole roof, including the garage and additions?
Enter the size instead
Give us the footprint in feet, or just pick the closest size. We will widen the range to match.

How it works
Three steps, no waiting.
The same arithmetic our quotes use, run on your roof’s outline from the map.
01
Find your house
Type the address. We find your house on the satellite map and outline the roof for you.
02
Check the outline
Check the orange outline covers your whole roof. If we are off, adjust it: drag the corners onto your roof’s edges, tap a + on an edge for an L-shape, or use Add another box for a wing or garage.
03
See your range
Say yes to the outline and the range appears straight away. Tap the roof type, the pitch or the tear-off under it to change them, and the range updates. To keep it, press Email me the written quote.
The arithmetic
How the price is worked out.
The outline is plan area — the roof as seen from above. Building outlines are drawn at the walls, so the eaves are added all round. A sloped roof is larger than its plan area, so the pitch you pick converts one to the other.
A waste allowance is then added, because panels are cut to length and trim is formed from coil, so some metal always ends up as offcuts. That is why the billed area comes out larger than the outline.
Finally the shape itself matters. A big simple roof is cheaper per square foot than a small complicated one, because every valley, dormer and pitch change is hand-formed and detailed individually.
Your estimate
What’s included in your estimate
The range covers the metal and the labour to install it.
It does not cover deck repair found at tear-off, ventilation work, insulation, gutters, fascia and soffit, skylights, snow guards or permits, because none of those are visible from above.
Those are quoted separately, and you see them before any work starts.
