To answer the question of how much a metal roof costs, we need to start with the basic building blocks of a construction project: Labor and materials. Let’s explore labor first.
What is Labor Cost?
Labor is what the roofing company gets paid to install your new roof. A great roofing company will do a good job of measuring your roof, recommending a quality metal roof panel, and managing each step of the project for a smooth customer experience from start to finish. In cases where you have hail damage, your roofing company can also assist you with your insurance claim.
Roof Complexity Makes a Difference
When it comes to the actual installation, the type of roof that your home has makes a big difference in how much time it takes to install the new metal panels. If your home has an extremely steep roof, with many different pitches and architectural features, it will take a lot more time to install than the roof of a simple ranch house.
When we provide an estimate for your new metal roof, we take into account the complexity of your roof profile.
So now let’s talk about the materials side of the labor and materials equation.
Specialty Metal Roofs Are Expensive
How much your metal roof panels cost will vary dramatically depending on the type of roof that you choose for your home. Some of the specialty metal roofs are quite elaborate, featuring designs that look like slate, tile, or even rustic shake shingles. The panels themselves can be quite expensive, and they tend to require a lot of installation time.
The Medium Price Point
Coming in at a medium price point is a standing seam metal roof. Standing seam metal roofs can look really sharp, and provide great long term performance.
While they’re certainly not the cheapest option, they are popular for higher end properties where clients don’t mind paying a premium for the classic standing steam look.
Our preferred standing seam panel is the Horizon Loc. This quality panel is available with a lifetime warranty, giving you peace of mind.
Our Most Popular Roof Panel
The final roof type that we’ll look at is a residential exposed fastener panel. These panels typically have a small to medium sized rib that looks great, and installs fairly quickly. Because this panel is both attractive and affordable, it is by far the most popular choice by our customers.
Our preferred panel is the Panel Loc Plus. It's available with a lifetime warranty, even though it's a modestly priced panel.
If you browse through our website, most of the photos you see will feature the Panel Loc or Panel Loc Plus residential metal panel. We’ve been installing these panels for years, and our customers love them.
How Much Would a Metal Roof Cost for My Home?
In order to get an estimate for your home, it’s as simple as giving us a call. We’ll schedule a time to come out and look at your current roof and get all the information we need to provide you with an accurate quote.
What If I Have an Insurance Claim?
If you are replacing a hail damaged shingle roof with a new metal roof, your insurance claim will typically take care of most of the expense of a metal roof. In many cases, it will only cost you $3,000 - $5,000 above the amount of your insurance claim to get a new metal roof. If you live in a hail prone part of North Texas, a new metal roof can be a very smart investment.
