When considering a new roof, one of the first questions most homeowners ask is: How much does a metal roof cost? While metal roofing is a long-term investment with incredible durability, energy efficiency, and curb appeal, it does come with a higher upfront price tag than traditional asphalt shingles. Understanding the factors that influence cost can help you plan your project and budget confidently.
On average, the cost to put a metal roof on a home in the U.S. ranges from $10,000 to $30,000, depending on the size of the house, the type of metal used, and the complexity of the roof design. That works out to roughly $7 to $14 per square foot installed.
Several variables influence the final cost of your metal roof, including:
Roof Size & Complexity: Larger or more complex roofs (with multiple slopes or dormers) require more labor and materials.
Type of Metal: Steel and aluminum are the most common, while premium options like copper and zinc carry a higher price point.
Panel Style: Standing seam metal roofs cost more than corrugated or ribbed panels due to added labor and materials.
Insulation & Underlayment: Quality underlayment and insulation improve performance but add to the cost.
Location & Labor Costs: Prices vary depending on your region and the expertise of the roofing company.
Though the initial investment is higher, a metal roof can last 40–70 years, typically outlasting three or more asphalt roofs. Add in reduced maintenance costs, improved energy efficiency, and increased resale value, and many homeowners find that metal roofing pays for itself over time.
