| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Los Angeles and the foothills: panel systems engineered for intense UV, long heat waves and wind-driven embers, installed over high-temperature underlayment with proper ventilation, flashing and clean details for decades of service life. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Los Angeles homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to loosen as daily heat expands and contracts the roof. Strong wind resistance and a cool reflective finish. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of sun-baked shingle, cracked tile or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Some California insurers offer discounts for fire-rated and impact-rated roofs, so ask yours. |
| Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) | From $7/sq ft | A new metal roof installed directly over your existing asphalt shingles: no tear-off, less waste and a shorter job. Popular on Valley ranch homes. We check deck condition first and tell you honestly when tear-off is the better call. |
| Metal Roof Repair | From $450 | Repair of damaged, loose or storm-hit metal roofing: replacing dented or punctured panels, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before the first big winter storm becomes interior damage. |
| Metal Roof Leak Repair | From $450 | Priority leak response for metal roofs: leaks traced to their true source (failed fasteners, seam separation, flashing gaps, pipe boots and stucco wall transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available when atmospheric-river storms arrive. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Los Angeles heat swings and relentless UV expand and contract metal roofs every day, so screws back out and sun-baked washers crack on older exposed-fastener roofs. Oversized screws and UV-resistant washers fix it for a fraction of replacement cost. |
| Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing | From $5.50/sq ft | Exposed-fastener metal roofing (corrugated, R-panel and 5V), the budget-friendly workhorse for homes, carports, barns and workshops across the county. Quality panels in reflective cool-roof colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-blown dust and embers. |
| Metal Shingle Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Metal shingles that deliver the look of architectural shingles, slate or shake with the lifespan of steel, a favorite for Los Angeles homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and wind-rated for Santa Ana gusts. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish: excellent wind performance, Class A fire rating for ember-prone hillsides and profiles that echo the Spanish clay tile and shake looks common on Los Angeles homes. |
| Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing | From $20/sq ft | Copper, zinc and aluminum roofing for accents, porches, bay windows and full architectural roofs: premium metals that develop a living patina and last a century in dry California air. Custom fabrication for the fine details. |
| Metal Roof Coating & Painting | From $2.50/sq ft | Restoration of sun-faded, chalking or surface-rusted metal roofs: surface prep, rust treatment and high-performance reflective coating systems that extend roof life 10-15 years, restore color and cut summer heat gain without replacement. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys and stucco transitions, the number one leak point on Los Angeles roofs when winter storms finally arrive. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow guards and rail systems for metal roofs: rarely needed in Los Angeles, but useful on steep mountain-edge roofs over entries and patios, where occasional snow can slide off at once. Honest guidance on whether yours needs them. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of wind, falling-limb and winter storm damage to metal roofing: thorough documentation with photos, honest assessment of repair vs. replacement, and help documenting your insurance claim from inspection to completed work. |
| Metal Roof Inspection | Free estimate | Complete metal roof inspections for homeowners, buyers and insurance requirements: fastener condition, seam integrity, flashing, coating and UV wear, and a straight answer on remaining service life with a written report. |
| Gutters for Metal Roofs | From $9/linear ft | Seamless gutter systems sized and mounted correctly for metal roofing: hangers that work with panel profiles and downspouts that carry sudden winter cloudbursts away from stucco walls and foundations, with details that handle ash, leaves and debris. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, workshops, churches, carports and light commercial buildings across Los Angeles County, from Santa Clarita Valley horse properties to San Fernando Valley shops and South Bay warehouses, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
