Metal roofing was once considered only an option for commercial buildings. However, it has become one of the fastest-growing roofing materials among residential homes in the United States. Perhaps it is time for you to upgrade your roofing system and metal is a system you are considering. Maybe hail and wind have wreaked havoc on your current roof and it is an opportune time to replace it. When deciding on whether to install a metal roofing system or not, usually the first question asked is “How much can I expect to pay for a new metal roof?” And for a good reason, that is a wise place to start. The cost to install a metal roof in Central Texas is between $6,500 and $42,000. While we can’t give you an exact price here, when you are ready, call Bar H Contractors for a free estimate. Here is a breakdown.
- 10 square roof = $6,500 to $12,000
- 15 square roof = $9,750 to $18,000
- 20 square roof = $13,000 to $24,000
- 25 square roof = $16,250 to $30,000
- 30 square roof = $19,500 to $36,000
- 35 square roof = $22,750 to $42,000
Roofing surfaces are measured in “squares”. A roofing square is equal to 100 square feet of the roof. For example, if your roofing area is 2400 square feet, divide that number by 100 and you will have the approximate number of squares needed to complete the project.
Types of Metal Roofs
Standing Seam Metal Roofs
Standing seam metal roofs are made from panels that are locked together and designed to hide the fasteners. The huge benefit is that the fasteners are less likely to wear out. This offers you a much cleaner appearing roof. Secondly, the beauty of standing seam is that the metal can expand and contract with the various weather patterns, without ruining the metal. This provides a longer-lasting and more durable roof.
Metal Shingles
Perhaps the look of metal panels is not appealing to you. Metal shingles might be a good option. They are versatile, lightweight, and fire-resistant, offering the look of asphalt shingles.
Factors That Go Into a New Metal Roof
