519 Highwood Dr, Longview — IronStone Slate (Aged Copper)
Longview isn’t a “gentle weather” town — it’s open country, and it gets windy. Add Alberta’s fast temperature swings, snow loads, and the occasional hail season, and a roof here has to be more than just “nice looking.” For this home at 519 Highwood Dr, the owners wanted a roof that’s built for the way Longview actually feels year-round — and they wanted a finish that elevates the whole property.
We installed IronStone Slate metal shingles in Aged Copper — a premium look with the strength of a true metal roofing system. Unlike short-term roofing options that age quickly or need constant repairs, metal roofing is a permanent solution: it’s designed to hold its shape, stay tight, and keep protecting the home through wind events, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy snow seasons.
This roof has multiple hips and valleys, so we treated it like a system — not just panels on a deck. Our crew focused on clean layout lines, secure fastening, and proper waterproof detailing at valleys, edges, and penetrations so the roof stays sealed and performs exactly the way it should in Southern Alberta conditions.

IronStone Slate Metal Roofing
IronStone Slate represents the culmination of extensive research in metal shingle roofing, delivering the prestigious appearance of natural slate without its inherent limitations. This innovative roof metal shingles system achieves the depth and character of quarried slate through advanced manufacturing techniques that create authentic-looking profiles and natural color variations. The shingle metal roof design incorporates sophisticated water-channeling systems and precise overlapping mechanisms, ensuring complete weather protection while maintaining the traditional appearance of individual slate tiles.
Professional metal shingle roofing installation is crucial for optimal performance, as these systems require precise alignment and proper integration with the roof’s ventilation and drainage components. Unlike natural slate, IronStone Slate metal roof shingles provide superior impact resistance and maintain their protective capabilities across extreme temperature variations. This advanced system eliminates the structural concerns associated with traditional slate, offering the same refined appearance in a lightweight format suitable for standard residential construction. The result is a roofing system that delivers exceptional performance and distinguished aesthetics, backed by warranty protection that underscores its long-term value.
