| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Houston and the Gulf Coast: panel systems built for brutal summer heat, humidity and hurricane wind, installed over high-temperature synthetic underlayment with proper ventilation, flashing and clean details for decades of service life. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Houston homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to loosen as Gulf heat expands and contracts the roof every day. Superior wind resistance and a cool reflective finish. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of hail-bruised shingle, aging composition or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Many Texas carriers offer discounts for 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: no tear-off, less waste and a lower cost. Popular on Houston ranch 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 hail-dented or punctured panels, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before the next Gulf thunderstorm 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 and wall transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after hurricane and thunderstorm wind. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Houston's heat and humidity swings expand and contract metal roofs every day, so screws back out and sun-baked washers crack on older exposed-fastener roofs. Oversized screws and UV-resistant 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 homes, carports, barns and workshops across Harris County and beyond. Quality panels in reflective cool-roof 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 architectural shingles, slate or shake with the lifespan of steel, a favorite for Houston homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and wind-rated for hurricane season. |
| 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 profiles that echo the clay tile and shake looks common on Houston 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, even in Gulf humidity. Custom fabrication for the fine details. |
| Metal Roof Coating & Painting | From $2.50/sq ft | Restoration of sun-faded, chalking or surface-rusted metal roofs: surface prep, rust treatment and high-performance reflective coating systems that extend roof life 10-15 years, restore color and cut summer heat gain without replacement. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys and brick transitions, the number one leak point on Houston roofs when tropical rain arrives sideways. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow guards and rail systems for metal roofs: very rarely needed in Houston, but occasionally useful over entries and patios when a freak winter storm leaves ice on steep roofs. Honest guidance on whether yours needs them. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of hail, hurricane wind and thunderstorm damage to metal roofing: thorough documentation with photos, honest assessment of repair vs. 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 UV 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 and downspouts that carry sudden Gulf cloudbursts away from brick walls and slab foundations, with details that handle oak leaves and debris. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, workshops, churches, carports and light commercial buildings across Harris County and its neighbors, from Waller and Brookshire farm buildings to Spring Branch shops and Ship Channel warehouses, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
What Affects the Price
- Roof size and complexity : Larger roofs require more materials and labor, and complex designs with multiple slopes, valleys, or penetrations increase installation time and cost.
- Material choice : Metal roofing comes in various materials and profiles, from corrugated panels to standing seam and copper, each with different price points and performance characteristics.
- Accessibility and roof pitch : Steep roofs or those with limited access (e.g., tall buildings, tight spaces) may require additional safety measures and labor, raising the price.
- Existing roof condition and removal : If your old roof needs to be removed and disposed of, or if underlying damage is found, this adds to the overall cost of the project.
