Installing a new metal roof can be a major investment for San Antonio homeowners. The costs vary widely based on the size and specifics of your particular roof. Some of the main factors that influence metal roofing costs in our area include:
Larger and steeper roofs require more materials, labor, and custom fabricated components. Expect to pay more for a large house with a high-angled roof compared to a smaller ranch-style home.
Standing seam panels cost more than exposed fastener panels. A roof with lots of hips, valleys, dormers, and intricacies will increase labor costs versus a simple gable roof.
The type of metal chosen impacts price. Steel is the most affordable. Going up in cost are aluminum, copper, and zinc materials.
Bare Galvalume metal is the most economical option. Colored coatings, insulation coatings, and cool roof coatings each add incremental cost.
Roofs that are difficult to access safely will have higher installation costs. Lift rental, scaffolding, or cranes may be required.
If you have multiple layers of old roofing or asbestos shingles to remove, this debris disposal can increase costs.
Contractors in high demand areas like downtown and luxury neighborhoods often charge higher rates. Rural areas tend to have lower labor costs.
Some cities and jurisdictions require permit fees for roof replacements. These costs get passed along to the homeowner.
