How much does a Metal Roof cost?

Answer:
Since metal roofing is becoming more and more

popular, it is important to know exactly how much a new metal roof will cost. Unlike asphalt roofing, which claims the lowest cost and the smallest price range, the cost of metal roofing can vary greatly, depending upon the type of material used.

On the lower end of the scale, a home owner can expect to spend anywhere from $1.20 to $1.50 per square foot for a decent metal roof, which of course does not include removal and disposal of old roofing material, but covers the average cost of material and installation.

For mid-grade, coated metal roofing, one might expect to pay up to $4.00 per square foot, with copper tipping the scales at over $6.50 per square foot. Of course, prices fluctuate according to the market price of the various metals used, as well as their availability for metal roofing manufacturing.

It is for this reason that home owners should lock in the price of their metal roof before installation begins to ensure no fluctuations in material cost throughout the life of the project.
