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.

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.

Questions

About the estimate.

Close enough to tell you whether a metal roof is in your range. It is worked out from your roof’s outline and the pitch you chose, so it is only as good as those. Anything under the roof, and the access to it, can move the number.

No. The range appears as soon as you have checked the outline. The form after it is there if you want the estimate emailed to you and a time arranged to come and look.

Check the outline covers the whole roof you want done, including an attached garage. If it does not, adjust it: tap a + on an edge for an L-shape, or use Add another box for a wing. Then set the Roof chip under the price to match. If it is genuinely unusual, send us the address instead and we will work it out properly.

Not through this tool. Material on its own is quoted per job, because it depends entirely on the panel lengths and trim your roof needs.

It is used to find the building on the map and, if you send the form, to work out where we would be going. We email you about your roof and nothing else.
