Let’s explore our origins
Before RARE Manufacturing Inc. became a trusted name in metal roofing, it began with two brothers – Ron & Randy. Both were skilled roofers with years of hands-on experience and a bold, shared vision for something better. They set out to design a roofing system that solved the real-world challenges they encountered on the job.
Teaming up with an investor and industry expert, they brought that vision to life. Creating a product built from the ground up for performance, durability, and ease of installation.
After testing and installing their newly designed panel with consistent success, they were ready to take the next leap. In 1993 RARE Manufacturing Inc. was officially founded, and we’ve been innovating and expanding ever since.
Today, RARE is a leading manufacturer of high-quality metal roofing systems, trusted across Canada and beyond.

Why choose metal roofing?
Homeowners today are looking for roofing solutions that are as beautiful as they are durable—and metal checks all the boxes. Here’s why more people are choosing RARE metal roofs:
★ Timeless Curb Appeal
RARE offers four premium metal roof styles that elevate any home. Whether you’re drawn to the charm of traditional clay tile aesthetic or something more modern, we have a profile that fits your vision.
★ Built to Outlast
RARE roof systems outperform asphalt and shake roofs, which break down over time. Our panels use top-tier materials and smart engineering to resist corrosion, fading, and weather damage year after year.
★ Serious Weather Protection
RARE roofs stand up to nature’s worst—from hurricane-force winds and heavy hail to wildfire risk. With a Class A fire rating, interlocking panels, hidden fasteners, and superior water-tightness, our systems help keep your home safe and protected through it all.
★ PVDF Coating Technology
We finish every panel with a PVDF coating that reflects heat, maintains colour, and resists chalking and fading. It’s engineered to be long lasting which is perfect for hot summers or harsh winters.
★ Sustainable & Smart
RARE metal roofs are 100% recyclable and energy-efficient. By reflecting sunlight, they help lower cooling costs and reduce your home’s environmental footprint.
