| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley: panel systems engineered for hot humid summers, freeze-thaw winters and nor'easter wind, installed over self-adhering ice-and-water underlayment at eaves and valleys with proper ventilation, flashing and manufacturer-approved 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 Delaware Valley homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to loosen under ice, snow load and summer heat. Strong wind resistance and snow that sheds cleanly. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of worn asphalt shingle, aging slate or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Some insurers recognize impact-rated roofs, so ask yours. |
| Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) | From $7/sq ft | A new metal roof installed directly over your existing asphalt shingles, with no tear-off, less waste and lower cost. A common choice on Delaware Valley ranch and Cape Cod homes. We check deck condition first and tell you honestly when tear-off is the better call. |
| Metal Roof Repair | From $450 | Repair of damaged, loose or storm-hit metal roofing: replacing dented or punctured panels, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before nor'easter rain or ice-dam melt becomes 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, party-wall and parapet transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Freeze-thaw winters and hot humid summers flex metal roofs hundreds of times a year, so screws back out and aging washers crack on older exposed-fastener roofs. Oversized screws and long-life washers fix it for a fraction of replacement cost. |
| Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing | From $5.50/sq ft | Exposed-fastener metal roofing (corrugated, R-panel and 5V), the budget-friendly workhorse for barns, sheds, workshops and porch roofs across the Delaware Valley. Quality panels in durable colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-driven rain. |
| Metal Shingle Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Metal shingles that deliver the look of slate, shake or architectural shingles with the lifespan of steel, a favorite for suburban Delaware Valley homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, wind-rated and shedding to sleet and snow. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish: strong hail and wind performance, Class A fire rating, and profiles that mimic slate and wood shake common on Delaware Valley homes, at a fraction of the weight. |
| Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing | From $20/sq ft | Copper, zinc and aluminum roofing for accents, porches, bay windows, cupolas and full architectural roofs: premium metals that develop a living patina and last generations, ideal for historic Philadelphia brick and stone. 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, restore color and shed humidity-borne streaking without replacement. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys, dormers, party walls and brick transitions, the number one leak point on older Philadelphia roofs. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow guards and rail systems for metal roofs: wet heavy snow slides off slick panels all at once, so guards protect entries, porches, walkways, gutters and neighboring property, and ice-dam details help at eaves. Honest guidance on whether yours needs them. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of hail, wind, fallen-limb and nor'easter damage to metal roofing: thorough documentation with photos, honest assessment of repair versus replacement, and help documenting 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 and moisture wear, and a straight answer on remaining service life with a written report. |
| Gutters for Metal Roofs | From $9/linear ft | Seamless gutter systems sized and mounted correctly for metal roofing: hangers that work with panel profiles, leaf guards for the maples and planes, and downspouts that carry heavy thunderstorm runoff away from brick walls and foundations, with ice-aware details. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, workshops, churches, garages and light commercial buildings across the region, from Chester and Bucks County farm buildings to Northeast Philadelphia shops and rowhouse-block commercial strips, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
What Affects the Price
- Roof size and complexity : Larger roofs require more materials and labor, while complex designs with multiple valleys, hips, and penetrations increase installation time and cost.
- Material type and gauge : Standing seam, copper, and stone-coated steel cost more than corrugated panels due to material expense and specialized installation techniques.
- Accessibility and roof pitch : Steep roofs or those with limited access (e.g., tall buildings, obstructions) may require additional safety measures and labor, raising the price.
- Existing roof conditions : If removal of old roofing or structural repairs are needed, costs increase. Retrofit over shingles can save on disposal but requires proper preparation.
