| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Huntsville and Madison County: panel systems built for Tennessee Valley heat, hail and tornado-season wind, installed over high-temperature underlayment with proper attic ventilation, correct flashing details and a 40-60 year service life. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Huntsville homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to loosen as humid heat and storm wind work the roof, superior wind resistance and a cool reflective finish. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of hail-beaten shingle, cracked or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and any water-damaged boards replaced, then a complete new metal system installed. Many Alabama carriers 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, lower cost. Popular on Huntsville's 1950s-70s brick ranches. We check deck condition first and tell you honestly when tear-off is the better call, especially after hail or storm moisture. |
| Metal Roof Repair | From $450 | Repair of damaged, loose or storm-hit metal roofing: replacing hail-dented or punctured panels, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before tornado-season downpours turn a small gap 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 chimney transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after severe storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Huntsville's hot, humid summers and cool winters expand and contract exposed-fastener roofs every day, so screws back out and sun-baked washers crack. Oversized screws and UV-resistant washers fix it for a fraction of the cost of replacement. |
| 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 Madison County and the Tennessee Valley. Quality panels in reflective cool-roof colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-driven rain. |
| Metal Shingle Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Metal shingles that give the look of architectural shingles, slate or shake with the lifespan of steel, a favorite for Huntsville homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, interlocking and wind-rated for tornado-season storms. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish, with excellent hail and wind performance, a Class A fire rating, and profiles that echo the shake and tile looks found on newer Huntsville homes. |
| Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing | From $20/sq ft | Copper, zinc and aluminum roofing for porches, bay windows, dormers and full architectural roofs: premium metals that develop a living patina and last a century in the Southern humidity. Custom fabrication for the fine details on Huntsville's historic 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, dormers and wall transitions, the number one leak point on Huntsville roofs, where steep gables meet heavy summer downpours. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Cold-weather roof protection is rarely the issue in Huntsville's mild winters. What the Tennessee Valley asks for is secure edges and ridges for tornado-season wind uplift: extra fasteners, heavier edge trim and hip and ridge details. Honest guidance on what yours needs. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of hail, wind and tornado-season 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, and hail damage, with a straight answer on remaining service life and 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 the panel profile and downspouts that carry sudden Tennessee Valley cloudbursts away from brick walls and foundations on red clay lots. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, workshops, churches, carports and light commercial buildings across Madison and Limestone counties, from cotton and soybean farms near Athens to Hazel Green and Decatur shops, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
What Affects the Price
- Roof size and pitch : Larger roofs require more material and labor, and steep pitches increase installation difficulty and safety requirements, raising the price.
- Material type and gauge : Standing seam, corrugated panels, stone-coated steel, and copper have different costs per square foot; thicker gauges and premium finishes also increase the price.
- Accessibility and roof complexity : Multi-story homes, complex roof lines, valleys, and limited access can slow down work and require additional equipment, adding to the cost.
- Condition of existing roof and additional services : If tear-off of old roofing, decking repairs, or extras like snow guards and skylight flashing are needed, these will affect the total price.
