| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Asheville and WNC, panel systems engineered for mountain weather, installed over premium synthetic underlayment with proper ventilation, flashing, and manufacturer-certified details for a 40-60 year service life. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Blue Ridge homes. Panels roll-formed to length, mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to loosen or leak. Superior wind resistance and the clean modern lines metal is known for. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of aging shingle, cedar, or end-of-life metal roofs, old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Insurance discounts of up to 30% often apply with your carrier. |
| Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) | From $7/sq ft | Install a new metal roof directly over your existing asphalt shingles, no tear-off, less waste, lower cost. We assess deck condition first, install furring or underlayment as needed, and give honest guidance on when recover makes sense and when tear-off is the better call. |
| Metal Roof Repair | From $450 | Repair of damaged, loose, or storm-hit metal roofing, replacing bent or punctured panels, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before small problems become interior damage. |
| Metal Roof Leak Repair | From $450 | Priority leak response for metal roofs, leaks traced to their true source (failed fasteners, seam separation, flashing gaps, pipe boots) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Aging exposed-fastener roofs loosen over time as washers dry out and screws back off, the top cause of leaks on 15-30 year old metal roofs. We replace fasteners with oversized screws and new sealing washers, restoring a watertight roof for a fraction of replacement cost. |
| Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing | From $5.50/sq ft | Exposed-fastener metal roofing (corrugated, tuff-rib, 5V), the budget-friendly workhorse for homes, cabins, barns, and workshops across WNC. Quality panels in a full color range, installed with proper screw patterns and closures. |
| Metal Shingle Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Metal shingles that deliver the look of architectural shingles, slate, or shake with the lifespan of steel, a favorite for homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam aesthetic. Lightweight, walkable, and wind-rated. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured, traditional finish, excellent hail and wind performance, Class A fire rating, and a look that suits both mountain and suburban homes. |
| Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing | From $20/sq ft | Copper, zinc, and aluminum roofing for accents, porches, bay windows, and full architectural roofs, premium metals that develop a living patina and last a century. Custom fabrication for the fine details. |
| Metal Roof Coating & Painting | From $2.50/sq ft | Restoration of faded, chalking, or surface-rusted metal roofs, surface prep, rust treatment, and high-performance coating systems that extend roof life 10-15 years and restore color without replacement. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys, and wall transitions, the number one leak point on any metal roof. In-house bent flashing for a precise, watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow retention systems for metal roofs in the mountains, snow guards and rail systems that stop dangerous rooftop avalanches onto decks, gutters, and entryways, plus ice dam prevention details for high-elevation homes. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of wind, hail, and fallen-limb damage to metal roofing, thorough documentation with photos, honest assessment of repair vs. replacement, and help navigating your insurance claim from inspection to completed work. |
| Metal Roof Inspection | Free estimate | Complete metal roof inspections for homeowners, buyers, and insurance requirements, fastener condition, seam integrity, flashing, coating wear, and a straight answer on remaining service life with a written report. |
| Gutters for Metal Roofs | From $9/linear ft | Seamless and half-round gutter systems sized and mounted correctly for metal roofing, hangers that work with panel profiles, snow-country details, and downspouts that handle mountain rainfall. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, workshops, churches, and light commercial buildings across Buncombe County, durable panel systems, insulation options, and repairs for the metal buildings WNC runs on. |
What Affects the Price
- Roof Size and Square Footage : Most metal roofing services are priced per square foot. Larger roofs cost more in total but may have slightly lower per-foot pricing due to efficiency. We measure your roof carefully to provide an accurate quote.
- Type of Metal Material : Standing seam systems, corrugated panels, stone-coated steel, and copper specialty roofing each have different costs. Premium materials like copper start at $20/sq ft, while corrugated panels begin at $5.50/sq ft.
- Installation vs. Retrofit vs. Replacement : Installing metal roofing over existing shingles (retrofit) costs less than full replacement because removal and disposal are minimized. Full replacements and new installations require more labor and preparation.
- Roof Complexity and Accessories : Roofs with multiple angles, valleys, skylights, chimneys, and penetrations require custom flashing and more labor. Snow guards, ice protection, and gutter systems add to the total project cost.
