metal roofing


Are you weary of the traditional look of a shingled roof, or maybe you would prefer something more long lasting, a metal roof may be just what you are seeking for your home. Metal roofing is steadily becoming more sought after in today’s pursuit for a rustic yet contemporary look.
If the outlay needed for a metal roof seems restrictive, you may consider that they can hold up about 70 years, which is considerably longer than the typical asphalt shingle roof. In some cases, a metal roof can be installed right over the old shingles, and that can greatly reduce the expense of replacing an old roof.
WHAT IS THE COST
So how Much Will a Metal Roof Cost me? As already stated, it will cost more, but it also Lasts much longer and is Stronger! The typical metal roof will cost between $5,300 to $14,700. On average, you will probably spend $10,000 as a midpoint in this range. Of course, your home’s square footage, the kind of materials and fasteners you will use and the slope of your roof must be figured in. 
COST OF MATERIALS
A “sheet” works out to 100 square feet. A metal roof materials estimate you get from a contractor will normally be listed in sheets, so this is important to understand. There are an array of types of metal roofs, and they are all different in price. Here is a list of different types of metal roofing and their prices: 

  • The average cost of a sheet of steel roofing (Steel core with a zinc coating) is $150 to $350 per sheet for galvanized.
  • Galvalume (steel core with aluminum coating), steel roofs offer you a rustic, agricultural look and years of durability. The cost ranges from $75 to $200 per sheet for galvalume.
  • Stainless Steel is a premium metal providing 50 to 100 years of shiny protection. Paying for this beauty, with the typical price ranging from about $400 to $1,200 per sheet, will cost you though.
  • A tin roof hearkens back to the old days. Today’s most common material is steel core, coated with tin. For a tin roof, you will typically pay from $300 to $1,500 per sheet.
  • Aluminum Feeling Green? Looking for something that can be recycled when you are done with it? Aluminum is your answer. it is Less Expensive than stainless steel for tin, and prices an average of $150 to $600 per sheet.
  • Copper, like Lady Liberty, will eventually change to an attractive green color, making it an option to top a gray or white home. It is durable and very rust resistant, so it will last a long time. Copper metal roofs will cost you ranging from $800 to $1,500 per sheet.
  • Zinc is a beautiful alternative to somewhat expensive types of roofing like copper and stainless steel. Zinc is durable and is available in shingles or standing seam giving it a more modern appearance. Your outlay will be between $600 to $1,000 per sheet.

Metal Roofing Installation Costs

You are now familiar with the materials costs involved, so next, let's take a look at the expense to have one installed. Generally speaking, the typical roofing job is divided three ways: labor, materials, and overhead. The labor involved in putting on a standard roof will be about one third of the total cost, or $3,000 considering the roof is of a standard shape with no steep slopes, using no higher-end materials, not having any unique designs, nor located in a very remote region. These factors can cause labor prices to swell to $10,000 or more.
Factors that can affect the labor cost include the pitch or slope of the roof, the style you’d like to have (whether you choose a standing seam or shingled look, and do you want fasteners to be visible or hidden) and whether you will have your roof coated. We’ll break down each of these below:
Pitch- If you have a steep roof, the crew will not be able to walk on it while installing. This will take more time and labor and increase the price pay.
Style A sleek, a modern roof style (popular today) requires a standing seam, which which is seamless and fasteners cannot be seen, this costs more. A sheet of roofing (installed) with visible fasteners ranges from $250 to $700, while concealed fasteners runs approximately from $600 to $1,400 installed.
Coating. Once your roof is completed, it is wise to have it coated to guard against wear and tear, and oxidation from the weather. This addition should cost an extra $300 to $1,500, depending on square footage and sealing material chosen.
Location-  The geographic location of your property affects cost considering the availability of materials and installation expense; installation is more expensive in New England, and the West Coast, also in Hawaii, and Alaska. The Midwest and in the South tend to be less expensive. ​Conclusion-  Before choosing a roof installer, you should consider the many factors affecting your project cost to plan and budget accordingly. Factors like location, style, size, slope and coatings are all items that will decide how much your metal roof will cost. Before deciding on a company, you should get estimates to ensure you receive the most competitive deal.
