| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for Rochester homes, garages and outbuildings: panel systems chosen for lake-effect snow and freeze-thaw, installed over ice-and-water protection at the eaves and valleys with proper ventilation, careful flashing and details built for decades of Great Lakes winters. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Rochester homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, so there are no exposed screws to back out as winter ice and summer heat work the roof. Snow sheds cleanly and the seams stay watertight. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of ice-damaged shingle, worn slate or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and any rotted boards from ice dams repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Ask your insurer whether an impact-rated roof earns a discount. |
| 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 Rochester ranches and capes. We check deck condition and any ice-dam moisture 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 panels dented by hail or fallen limbs, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before the next thaw sends meltwater into the house. |
| 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 ice-dam backups) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after heavy snow and thaw. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Rochester's deep freeze and summer heat swings expand and contract metal roofs all year, so screws back out and brittle washers crack on older exposed-fastener roofs. Oversized screws and weather-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 garages, sheds, barns and workshops across Monroe County. Quality panels in durable colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures built to shed heavy snow and ice. |
| Metal Shingle Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Metal shingles that deliver the look of slate, shake or architectural shingles with the lifespan of steel: a favorite for Rochester homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and built to shed snow. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish: excellent hail and wind performance, good fire resistance, and profiles that echo the slate and shake of Rochester's older streets. |
| Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing | From $20/sq ft | Copper, zinc and aluminum roofing for accents, porches, bay windows, cupolas and full architectural roofs: premium metals that develop a living patina and last generations through Great Lakes winters. Custom fabrication for the fine details of historic Rochester homes. |
| Metal Roof Coating & Painting | From $2.50/sq ft | Restoration of faded, chalking or surface-rusted metal roofs: surface prep, rust treatment and high-performance coating systems that restore color and protect against road salt spray, freeze-thaw and snow without replacement. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys, dormers and brick transitions: the number one leak point on Rochester roofs when snow melts behind a chimney. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow guards and rail systems for metal roofs: lake-effect snow slides off slick panels in sheets, onto doors, walkways, cars and gutters. We place guards over entries and lower roofs and help you manage ice dams on valleys and eaves, with honest guidance on whether your roof needs them. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of hail, wind and heavy-snow damage to metal roofing: thorough documentation with photos, 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, ice-dam damage, coating and 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: heavy-duty hangers that survive sliding snow, ice-resistant details at the eaves, and downspouts that carry spring melt away from foundations and stonework. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, sheds, churches, garages and light commercial buildings across Monroe County and the surrounding farm country, from orchard cold-storage barns to industrial shops, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
What Affects the Price
- Roof size and pitch : Larger roofs require more materials and labor, while steep pitches increase installation difficulty and safety requirements, raising the price.
- Material and profile choice : From corrugated panels to standing seam or copper, material costs vary widely. Specialty metals and stone-coated steel typically cost more than standard panels.
- Accessibility and roof complexity : Factors like multiple stories, chimneys, skylights, and tight spaces around the property can slow down work and increase labor costs.
- Repair vs. replacement scope : Minor repairs like leak fixes start at $450, while full replacements or retrofits involve higher costs due to materials and labor. Storm damage or emergency work may also affect pricing.
