What will a metal roof cost?

The price depends on the actual roof, not just the size of the house. The contractor needs to check roof measurements and steepness, the chosen materials, what must be removed, any repairs underneath, access, and permit requirements. Use the checklist to prepare for that conversation, then ask for a written estimate for your property.

UNDERSTAND THE WORK

Three parts of a roofing estimate.

Conceptual house with a sloped roof and a separate flat floor. The roof surface and floor area differ.
Roof surface ≠ floor area

The actual roof

Roof shape, slope, porches, and garages affect the work. House square footage alone isn’t enough.

Simplified layers: removed roofing above supporting wood. A crack below represents possible concealed damage, not a diagnosis or an installation detail.
What’s hidden underneath?

Removal and repairs

Confirm removal and disposal. Agree how hidden damage will be documented, priced, and approved if found.
