Caledon is mostly open country, and open country means wind with nothing to slow it down. Around Belfountain, Mono Mills and the Forks of the Credit there's a mix of farm buildings and rural homes, and both take more weather than anything in town does. Highland has roofed a lot of it.
Caledon is mostly open country, and open country means wind with nothing to slow it down. Around Belfountain, Inglewood and the Forks of the Credit there are farm buildings and rural houses side by side, and the barns take considerably more weather than anything in a town does.
Agricultural roofs are a real part of what we do. Large spans, exposed sites, and owners who care about how long it lasts rather than how it looks — which usually points at metal before the conversation even starts.

Roofing homes in Caledon
Around Belfountain, Inglewood and the Forks of the Credit, rural houses and farm buildings sit side by side and take the same weather.
Most of the decision is the profile rather than the colour. A deep tile like Banff suits older roofs with steep pitches and plenty of visible surface; Standing Seam is flatter and cleaner and sits better on a long modern run. Banff is available in black only; Standing Seam offers eight finishes.
Eight finishes
Black 9005 through Terra Cotta 8004, on every profile except Banff.
Snow
sheds rather than holds it, so there's less weight on the structure and less ice building at the eaves.
Summer heat
reflective coatings cut how much reaches the roof deck.
02
Commercial roofing
Much of the commercial work here is agricultural — barns, drive sheds and machinery buildings with very large spans and no shelter at all.
On a commercial building the case for metal is mostly about what stops happening. Flat and low-slope roofs need attention on a cycle, and that cycle costs money whether or not anything has actually gone wrong — inspections, recoating, patching, and scaffolding booked every few springs. Metal takes most of it off the calendar.
Fasteners
Standing Seam fixes with concealed fasteners, so there are no exposed screws to work loose.
Finish
matched to the existing brick, cladding or curtain wall rather than fighting it.
Long runs
panels are rolled in Europe and cut to the building, so there are fewer joints.
03
New builds and custom homes
Bolton and Palgrave carry most of the new residential building, on more open ground than anything in the towns to the south.
The useful time to involve a roofer is while it is still on paper. Pitch, valley detailing and how the panel meets the fascia are all cheaper to resolve at the drawing stage than on site. We would rather be in the conversation with your architect early than be handed a finished deck and asked to make it work.
Early involvement
we work with architects and builders through detailing, not just at installation.
Seven profiles
the roof can be part of the design rather than a constraint on it.
Lifespan
metal outlasts asphalt by a wide margin, which matters on a house you intend to keep.
04
Eavestroughs
Open country means wind-driven rain, which reaches parts of a roof that vertical rain never touches.
Metal sheds water fast — that is the point of it — but it does mean more water reaches the eavestrough in less time than a shingle roof would send down. Undersized or leaking gutters are the usual reason water ends up sitting against a foundation, so we size the system to the roof rather than fitting it afterwards.
Coated steel
four protective layers, warranted 40 years by the system's manufacturer.
Sized to the roof
metal sheds water faster than shingle does, so the system is sized for the roof rather than matched to whatever was on the house before.
Coordinate the eavestrough finish with your chosen roof. Confirm the available materials and colours.
