| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Memphis and Shelby County: panel systems engineered for humid heat, hail and straight-line storm winds, installed over high-temperature synthetic underlayment with proper attic ventilation, flashing and manufacturer-approved details for a 40-60 year service life. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Mid-South homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to loosen as Memphis heat and humidity cycle the roof every day. Strong wind resistance and shedding of leaves and debris. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of hail-pitted shingle, algae-streaked roofs and end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired for any moisture damage, then a complete new metal system installed. Some insurers recognize 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, with no tear-off, less waste and lower cost. Practical on 1950s-70s Memphis brick ranches. 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 hail-dented or punctured panels, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before spring thunderstorms 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 or dormer transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after heavy storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Memphis summers and winters expand and contract metal roofs hundreds of times a year, so screws back out and aged 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 carports, porches, barns and workshops across Shelby, Fayette and Tipton Counties. Quality panels in reflective colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-driven rain. |
| 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 Memphis homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, hail-resistant and wind-rated for spring storm gusts. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish: strong hail and wind performance and profiles that mimic the slate and wood shake common on Memphis Tudors and colonials, at a fraction of the weight. |
| 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 hold up for generations, a natural fit for Memphis's historic Victorian and Tudor homes. Custom fabrication for the fine details. |
| Metal Roof Coating & Painting | From $2.50/sq ft | Restoration of faded, chalking or surface-rusted metal roofs: pressure cleaning of algae and mildew, rust treatment and high-performance 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 brick chimneys, skylights, dormers, valleys and porch transitions, the number one leak point on Memphis roofs in heavy rain. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Edge and wind-uplift protection for metal roofs: added fastening and hold-down clips at eaves, rakes and ridges, heavy-gauge edge trim and reinforced ridge caps that stand up to straight-line storm winds and hail. Honest guidance on whether your roof needs the upgrade. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of hail, wind and tornado-warning storm damage to metal roofing, including fallen limbs: 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, coating, algae 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: hangers that work with panel profiles and downspouts that carry Memphis's heavy downpours away from foundations, with leaf guards for homes under mature oaks and sweetgums. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, workshops, churches, carports and light commercial buildings across the Memphis area, from farm buildings and horse barns around Arlington and Millington to Cordova and Southeast Memphis shops, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
