| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania: panel systems engineered for heavy snow, ice dams and humid summers; installed over ice-and-water membrane and synthetic underlayment with proper ventilation; clean flashing and manufacturer-specified 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 Pittsburgh homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws for freeze-thaw cycling to loosen. Strong wind resistance and a smooth finish that sheds snow on steep hillside roofs. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of worn shingle, patched slate or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away; decking inspected and repaired; then a complete new metal system installed. Many 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, lower cost. Popular on Pittsburgh ranch homes 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 dented or punctured panels; resealing seams and penetrations; and fixing failed flashing before snowmelt or a summer 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; ice-dam backup; flashing gaps; pipe boots and wall transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after storms and thaws. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Pittsburgh's freeze-thaw winters and humid summers flex metal roofs hundreds of times a year, so screws back out and aging 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, garages, barns and shops across Allegheny, Washington and Westmoreland counties. Quality panels in durable 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 Pittsburgh homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and snow-shedding. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish: strong hail and wind performance; Class A fire rating; and profiles that mimic the slate and shake looks found on Pittsburgh's Tudor and Colonial 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. Custom fabrication for the fine details on Pittsburgh's historic brick and stone 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 10-15 years and restore color without replacement. Common on older tin porch roofs and outbuildings. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys and brick party walls: the number one leak point on Pittsburgh roofs, where freeze-thaw cycling and ice dams open old seams. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow guards and rail systems for metal roofs: they hold Pittsburgh's heavy lake-effect snow and ice from sliding all at once over entries, steps, porches and lower roofs on steep hillside homes and narrow lots. Honest guidance on whether yours needs them. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of hail, wind and heavy snow 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 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 heavy rain and snowmelt away from foundations and hillside retaining walls; with details that handle leaves and debris. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, workshops, churches, garages and light commercial buildings across Western Pennsylvania: from farm buildings in Butler and Washington counties to shops and warehouses along the river valleys, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
