A roof is the single most expensive layer of any building. The wrong choice leaks, rusts, blows off in a storm, or quietly halves your property value. The right one runs for 30 years and lifts your kerb appeal.
This guide lists the major roofing companies operating in Nigeria — the manufacturers, the importers and the installers — together with what they sell, where they are based and how to reach them. Use it as a shortlist, then get at least two competing quotes before signing anything.
Types of Roofs Common in Nigeria
Most Nigerian buildings use one of three roof types:
- Pitched roofs — sloping designs that shed rain quickly. The default for most homes. Usually clad with long-span aluminium, step tiles, stone-coated tiles or galvanised sheets.
- Flat roofs — common on commercial blocks and modern duplexes. Need a quality waterproofing membrane and good drainage.
- Shell and folded-plate roofs — concrete shells used for warehouses, churches, conference centres and sports halls. Engineered case by case.
The cladding choice usually decides the company you call. Aluminium long-span, stone-coated step tiles and metcoppo dominate the Nigerian residential market today.

How to Choose the Right Roofing Company
- Match the company to the material. If you want stone-coated tiles, go to a stone-coated specialist (Majestic, Stranox/Sinoma, IDE, Berger). If you want long-span aluminium, go to a manufacturer (Tower, First Aluminium, DASC). Don’t pay a premium installer to subcontract someone else’s product.
- Check the manufacturer warranty. Reputable aluminium long-span comes with a 15–20 year colour and corrosion warranty. Stone-coated metal tile warranties run 30–50 years. If the seller can’t show you the warranty document, walk.
- Verify SON and ICNet marks on stone-coated tiles. These confirm the tile was tested for impact, weight and fire resistance.
- Ask for installed jobs you can drive past. A serious company will give you addresses; an unserious one will give you Instagram photos.
- Get three written quotes. Aluminium long-span runs roughly ₦8,500–₦14,000 per square metre installed in 2026; stone-coated tiles run ₦9,500–₦18,000. Anyone quoting half that on either is using sub-spec gauge.
- Confirm gauge and thickness in writing. Long-span aluminium should be 0.55 mm or thicker for residential. Stone-coated tiles should be 0.4 mm steel core minimum.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which is the best roofing sheet in Nigeria?
There is no single best — there is a best for your roof slope, weather and budget. Aluminium long-span (Tower, First Aluminium, DASC) is the durable workhorse for most homes. Stone-coated step tiles (Majestic, Sinoma, Berger) look more premium and last longer but cost more. Galvanised zinc is cheapest but rusts within 5–10 years.
How much does it cost to roof a 3-bedroom bungalow in Nigeria?
Roofing area of a typical 3-bed bungalow runs 120–150 m². At 2026 prices, expect roughly ₦1.5–₦2.5 million for aluminium long-span installed, and ₦1.8–₦3 million for stone-coated tiles installed. Wood structure (rafters and battens) adds ₦400,000–₦700,000.
Which roofing sheet lasts the longest?
Genuine stone-coated metal tiles (with an SON / ICNet certified core and proper installation) carry 30–50 year warranties. Aluminium long-span typically runs 15–25 years before fading or pinhole corrosion sets in.
Are imported stone-coated tiles better than locally made ones?
Not automatically. The original stone-coated technology came from New Zealand (Gerard, Decra) and import brands still benchmark quality. However, Nigerian-made tiles produced by SON-certified factories like Sinoma Fabcom test to the same impact and corrosion standards at a lower price.
Can I install a roof myself?
Cladding can be DIYed by a confident handyman, but the wood truss design — spans, rafter sizing, ridge bracing — needs a structural carpenter or engineer. Get the truss professional, then DIY the sheets if you must.
What is metcoppo?
Metcoppo is a profile name for a tile-look pressed aluminium roofing sheet that mimics the appearance of stone-coated step tiles at a lower price. It is half-metal long-span, half decorative tile, and is widely used on Lagos duplexes.
Do roofing companies in Nigeria offer financing?
A small number of installers run instalment plans for residential customers — typically 30% deposit and 60–90 day balance. Major manufacturers (Tower, First Aluminium) sell strictly through dealers and require full payment.
How long does a roof installation take?
A 150 m² residential roof — wood structure plus aluminium long-span cladding — usually takes 5–10 working days for a 4-man crew. Stone-coated tile installation is slower (8–14 days) because tiles are screwed in piece by piece.
What are the most common roofing mistakes Nigerians make?
Three big ones: (1) using under-gauge sheets to save money, then losing them in the next storm; (2) skipping ridge and valley flashing, then wondering why the roof leaks; (3) hiring a generalist mason as roofer instead of a roofing specialist. The savings on steps 1 and 3 disappear inside the first rainy season.
