| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Sacramento and the surrounding valley: panel systems engineered for 100-degree summers, intense UV and winter storm wind, installed over high-temperature synthetic underlayment with proper attic 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 Sacramento homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to loosen as valley heat expands and contracts the roof every day. Strong wind resistance and a cool reflective finish. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of sun-baked shingle, cracked tile 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. Popular on Sacramento 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 dented or punctured panels, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before winter rain 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 dormer transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after winter storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Sacramento's hot days and cool delta evenings expand and contract metal roofs hundreds of times a year, 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 barns, sheds, carports and workshops across the Sacramento Valley. Quality panels in reflective cool-roof colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out dust and wind. |
| 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 Sacramento homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight and tough against winter storm wind. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish: strong wind performance, a fire-resistant surface, and profiles that mimic the clay and concrete tile common on Sacramento homes, at a fraction of the weight. |
| Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing | From $20/sq ft | Copper, zinc and aluminum roofing for accents, porches, turrets, bay windows and full architectural roofs: premium metals that develop a living patina and hold up for generations. Custom fabrication for the fine details of Sacramento's older Victorians and bungalows. |
| 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, dormers and stucco transitions, the number one leak point on Sacramento roofs once winter rain arrives. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Delta-breeze and storm-wind edge hardening for metal roofs: reinforced rake and eave trim, extra fasteners at corners and ridges, and clips that keep panels tight through gusty winter fronts. Honest guidance on whether your roof needs it. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of wind, falling-limb and storm 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 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 winter rain away from stucco walls and foundations, with details that handle valley dust and heavy leaf fall from mature trees. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, workshops, churches, carports and light commercial buildings across the Sacramento Valley, from Delta farms and orchards to shops and warehouses in the surrounding towns, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
What Affects the Price
- Roof size and material choice : Larger roofs require more materials and labor, and premium metals like copper or standing seam cost more per square foot than corrugated panels.
- Accessibility and roof complexity : Steep slopes, multiple stories, skylights, and chimneys increase labor time and safety requirements, which can raise the price.
- Extent of damage or repair needed : Minor leak repairs may start at $450, while extensive storm damage or full replacement can push costs higher due to additional materials and labor.
- Additional services and permits : Services like gutter installation, snow guards, or flashing repair add to the total, and local permits may be required for some projects.
