| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across San Jose and the Santa Clara Valley: panel systems built for strong UV and long dry summers, installed over high-temperature underlayment with proper ventilation, plus ember-resistant details in the foothills and flashing done to manufacturer specifications for a 40-60 year service life. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Silicon Valley homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to loosen as summer heat expands and contracts the roof every day. Strong wind resistance, a cool reflective finish and clean lines for modern and mid-century homes. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of sun-baked composition, cracked tile or wood shake and end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Some insurers offer discounts for 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 lower cost. Popular on Santa Clara 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 and tree-limb damage before the next winter storm turns into 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 wall transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available during winter atmospheric-river storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Silicon Valley's hot dry days and cool nights expand and contract metal roofs constantly, 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, garages and workshops across Santa Clara County. Quality panels in reflective cool-roof colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-blown rain and debris. |
| 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 San Jose homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and rated for winter wind. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish: excellent wind performance, a Class A fire rating that matters in foothill neighborhoods, and profiles that mimic the clay tile and shake looks common on Santa Clara Valley 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. Custom fabrication for the fine details on Craftsman and custom homes. |
| 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 wall transitions, the number one leak point on Silicon Valley roofs. 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 the Santa Clara Valley, but useful on steep roofs over entries and patios at higher elevations in the hills, where an occasional snowfall 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, an honest assessment of repair versus 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, plus ember-vent and debris checks in the foothills, 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 heavy winter rain away from stucco walls and foundations, with details that handle leaves, pine needles and redwood debris. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, workshops, churches, carports and light commercial buildings across Santa Clara County, from South Valley farm buildings near Gilroy and Morgan Hill to industrial shops in the valley, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
What Affects the Price
- Roof size and slope : Larger roofs and steeper slopes require more materials and labor, increasing overall cost.
- Material type and gauge : Premium materials like copper or stone-coated steel cost more than standard corrugated panels, and thicker gauges add durability but raise prices.
- Accessibility and roof complexity : Difficult access, multiple stories, or complex roof shapes (dormers, valleys) increase labor time and safety requirements.
- Removal and disposal of old roofing : Tearing off existing shingles or metal adds labor and disposal fees, though retrofitting over shingles can save on these costs.
