Our Work
A look at the quality and craftsmanship we deliver on every job.
Metal Roof Cost
Metal costs more up front than asphalt shingles and lasts a lot longer, so the honest comparison is cost per year of service, not cost today. The bands below are typical for the Baton Rouge market, not a quote: your written price comes from the free inspection and a measured roof.
Metal roof repair
$450 - $1,800
Backed-out fasteners resealed, a failed pipe boot or curb flashing rebuilt, one or two damaged panels swapped, sealant renewal at penetrations.
Usually one day on site.
Exposed fastener metal roof
Mid-range install
R-panel or corrugated metal over a prepared deck. The budget-friendly metal option: fewer labor hours than standing seam, with exposed screws that need periodic attention.
Typically 3 to 5 days on an average home.
Standing seam metal roof
Premium install
Concealed-fastener panels with mechanically seamed or snap-lock seams, custom flashing, and the longest service life of anything we install.
Typically 4 to 7 days on an average home.
Timeline
Metal is a made-to-measure product, so most of the schedule is fabrication lead time rather than days on your roof.
Day 1
We measure the roof, photograph every detail and penetration, and check the decking and ventilation. You see the photos before you see a price.
Day 1 to 2
You get exposed fastener and standing seam priced side by side, with panel profile, gauge, color, and warranty spelled out so you are comparing the same thing.
1 to 3 weeks
Panels are cut to your roof's dimensions in your chosen color. This lead time is the longest part of the project and it happens before we ever show up.
Install day 1
Old roofing comes off, the decking is inspected and repaired where it is soft, and new underlayment goes down. We do not leave a deck open overnight.
Install days 2 to 5
Panels are set and seamed, then ridge, hip, valley, and wall flashing is fitted. Flashing detail is where metal roofs leak, so it gets the most time.
Final day
We magnet-sweep the property, walk the finished roof with you photo by photo, and hand off your 5-year workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer material warranty.
A simple, transparent path from first call to finished project.

Frequently Asked Questions
A properly installed metal roof generally outlasts asphalt shingles by a wide margin, and the coating carries its own manufacturer warranty. Our workmanship is backed by a 5-year warranty on top of the material warranty.
Metal panels are rated for high wind uplift, and standing seam systems hide the fasteners under the seam so there are fewer exposed points to fail. Correct fastening pattern and edge detailing matter more than the panel itself, which is why we install with our own crew.
No. Reflective finishes shed radiant heat rather than absorb it, which usually means a cooler attic in Baton Rouge summers compared with dark asphalt shingles.
Not on a finished home. The panels sit over decking and underlayment, plus attic insulation, so rain noise is closer to a shingle roof than to a bare metal barn.
Usually yes. Most metal roof leaks trace back to backed-out fasteners, failed sealant at penetrations, or flashing details rather than the panels. We inspect free and show you photos before recommending anything.
Metal costs more up front than asphalt shingles and lasts considerably longer, so the comparison depends on how long you plan to keep the home. We price both options side by side after the inspection so you can decide with real numbers.
