Metal roofing is Finland’s most popular roofing material — and for good reason. It withstands extreme weather conditions, is easy to maintain and looks beautiful for decades. Metal roofs typically last 40–60 years, and a standing seam roof can last up to 70 years.

Why is a metal roof the most popular choice?
A metal roof is suitable for nearly all roof types and pitches. It is lightweight, so it does not require a heavy structural frame. Metal roofs are extremely weather-resistant — they withstand snow loads, wind, rain, and UV radiation for decades. A modern metal roof is also energy-efficient and recyclable.
Metal roof renovation work stages
- Free condition assessment — drone survey and report on roof condition.
- Removal of old roofing — old metal or other roofing is removed and recycled.
- Substructure inspection — battens and underlayment are inspected.
- New underlayment installation — protects the structure during construction.
- Metal roofing installation — standing seam or profiled metal is installed.
- Finishing — penetrations, chimney flashings, and ridges.
- Final inspection — drone survey documents the completed work.
Metal roof renovation price
The price of a metal roof renovation is typically 50–70 €/m². A standing seam roof is slightly more expensive than profiled metal, but its longer lifespan makes it more cost-effective in the long run. The price is affected by roof size, shape, number of penetrations, and site location.
Standing seam or profiled metal?
A standing seam roof is the premium choice. The seams are machine-formed on-site, which means a tighter and more durable result. Profiled metal is a more affordable option, well-suited for outbuildings, for example. In both cases, we ensure a high-quality result.

Metal roof maintenance
A metal roof is nearly maintenance-free, but regular inspection extends its lifespan. We recommend roof inspection every 10–15 years. We check the condition of fastenings, the integrity of sealants, and any potential corrosion. Our maintenance service also includes gutter cleaning and minor repairs.
