Metal Roof Cost

What a Metal Roof Costs in Baton Rouge

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.

What changes the price

  • Roof size, pitch, and number of hips, valleys, and dormers
  • Panel system: exposed fastener versus standing seam
  • Gauge, finish, and paint warranty of the panel you choose
  • Whether the existing roof is torn off and the decking replaced
  • Number of penetrations: vents, pipes, chimneys, skylights, HVAC curbs
  • Access, staging, and how far material has to be carried

Timeline

How a Metal Roof Project Runs

Metal is a made-to-measure product, so most of the schedule is fabrication lead time rather than days on your roof.

  1. 01

    Day 1

    Free inspection and measure

    We measure the roof, photograph every detail and penetration, and check the decking and ventilation. You see the photos before you see a price.

  2. 02

    Day 1 to 2

    Written proposal, both options

    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.

  3. 03

    1 to 3 weeks

    Panel fabrication and delivery

    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.

  4. 04

    Install day 1

    Tear-off and deck prep

    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.

  5. 05

    Install days 2 to 5

    Panels, trim, and flashing

    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.

  6. 06

    Final day

    Walkthrough and warranty

    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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Metal Roofing, Common Questions

What is the difference between standing seam and exposed fastener metal roofing?

Standing seam panels lock together with raised, concealed seams so there are no screws through the face of the roof, which is why it is the longer-lasting and lower-maintenance option. Exposed fastener panels are screwed through the panel with rubber washers, which costs less up front but means those washers are the part that ages. We price both side by side in the same proposal so you can see the real difference for your roof.

How much does a metal roof cost in Baton Rouge?

Metal generally runs higher than architectural shingles, and standing seam runs higher than exposed fastener panels. The cost drivers are squares of roof, pitch, panel profile and gauge, the amount of custom flashing and trim, and the decking condition once the old roof is off. You get a written, itemized number after the free inspection instead of a phone estimate.

Are you local metal roofing contractors, and do you do commercial work?

Yes. We are a Baton Rouge based roofing contractor working under Louisiana Contractor License #6386, with our own crews on both residential metal roofs and commercial metal and low-slope systems.

How long does a metal roof last in Louisiana?

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.

Is a metal roof better in hurricane and high wind conditions?

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.

Does a metal roof make the house hotter?

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.

Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?

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.

Can you repair my existing metal roof instead of replacing it?

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.

How much does a metal roof cost compared to shingles?

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.
