Frequently asked

How much does a metal roof cost in 2026?
Standing-seam metal installed runs $10–$20 per square foot in 2026, or roughly $20,000–$40,000 for a typical 2,000 sq ft home before regional adjustments.
Is a metal roof worth the extra cost?
In hail, wind, and wildfire regions, insurance discounts and a 50-year lifespan usually justify the premium. In mild climates the payback takes longer.
