| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Minneapolis and the Twin Cities: panel systems engineered for deep snow loads, hail and sub-zero winters, installed over ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys, with proper ventilation, snow retention where needed and carefully lapped flashing. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, a premium choice for Twin Cities homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to back out as winter cold and summer heat flex the roof, and a slick surface that sheds snow quickly. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of hail-beaten shingle, ice-damaged or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected for ice-dam rot and repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Many Minnesota carriers 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. Popular on Twin Cities ramblers and Cape Cods. 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 and ice-dam damage before spring melt turns a small gap into interior water. |
| Metal Roof Leak Repair | From $450 | Priority leak response for metal roofs: leaks traced to their true source (ice-dam backup, failed fasteners, seam separation, flashing gaps and pipe boots) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after summer storms and winter thaws. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Twin Cities temperature swings of 100 degrees or more flex metal roofs through the year, so screws back out and 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) is the budget-friendly workhorse for garages, pole barns, workshops and farm buildings around the metro. Quality panels in durable colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-driven snow. |
| Metal Shingle Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Metal shingles that give the look of architectural shingles, slate or shake with the lifespan of steel, a favorite for Twin Cities homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, hail-resistant and snow-shedding. |
| 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, a Class A fire rating, and profiles that mimic shake and slate on Twin Cities Tudor and colonial homes, with good protection from freeze-thaw damage. |
| Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing | From $20/sq ft | Copper, zinc and aluminum roofing for accents, porches, bay windows, turrets and full architectural roofs: premium metals that weather to a living patina and handle Minnesota winters. Custom fabrication for the fine details on Victorian and Tudor homes. |
| 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 and restore color without replacement, after years of snow, ice and summer sun. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys, dormers and porch roof transitions, the number one leak point on Twin Cities roofs through ice dams and spring melt. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow guards and rail systems for metal roofs: Minneapolis winters dump heavy snow that can release all at once from slick panels. Retention over entries, driveways, decks and lower roofs, plus ice-dam advice on ventilation and eave detail. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of hail, wind and heavy snow damage to metal roofing: thorough documentation with photos, an 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, snow-retention hardware, ice-dam signs and coating wear, plus 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 survive sliding snow, heated-cable options against ice dams, and downspouts that carry spring melt and summer cloudbursts away from foundations. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, pole buildings, workshops, churches and light commercial buildings across the metro and the farm country around it, with durable panel systems built for snow load, insulation options and repairs. |
What Affects the Price
- Roof size and complexity : Larger roofs and those with multiple slopes, valleys, or penetrations require more materials and labor, increasing the overall cost.
- Material type and thickness : Standing seam, copper, and stone-coated steel cost more than corrugated panels due to material expenses and specialized installation techniques.
- Accessibility and roof pitch : Steep roofs or those with limited access (e.g., tall buildings, obstacles) may require additional safety measures and labor time, raising the price.
- Removal and disposal of old roofing : If your project involves tearing off existing shingles or metal, the cost includes labor and disposal fees, which can add to the total.
