| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across St. Louis and the metro. Impact-rated panel systems built for hail, tornado-season wind and ice storms, installed over premium underlayment with proper ventilation and flashing for a 40-60 year service life. |

What Affects the Price
- Roof size and complexity : Larger roofs and those with multiple slopes, valleys, or dormers require more materials and labor, increasing the overall price.
- Metal type and gauge : Standing seam, corrugated panels, stone-coated steel, and copper have different material costs, with copper and specialty metals at the higher end.
- Accessibility and roof height : Steep roofs, multi-story homes, or limited access can require additional safety measures and equipment, adding to labor costs.
- Existing roof condition and removal : If your old roof needs removal or repairs before installation, this adds to the cost. Retrofit over shingles can save on removal fees.
