| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Milwaukee and the lakeshore suburbs: panel systems engineered for heavy snow load, ice dams and hail, installed over ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys 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 Milwaukee homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to loosen as freeze-thaw cycles move the roof all winter. Snow sheds cleanly and the finish resists lake-air weather. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of worn shingle, ice-damaged or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired where freeze-thaw moisture has done its work, 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. Popular on Milwaukee bungalows and 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 melting snow and spring rain become interior damage. |
| Metal Roof Leak Repair | From $450 | Priority leak response for metal roofs: leaks traced to their true source (ice-dam backup, failed fasteners, seam separation, flashing gaps, pipe boots and dormer transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after storms and thaws. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Milwaukee winters pull metal roofs through hundreds of freeze-thaw cycles, so screws back out and aging 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 Southeast Wisconsin. Quality panels in durable colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-driven snow and 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 Milwaukee homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight and tough against hail and freeze-thaw. |
| 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, a fire-resistant surface, and profiles that mimic the slate and shake looks common on Milwaukee homes, at a fraction of the weight. |
| Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing | From $20/sq ft | Copper, zinc and aluminum roofing for accents, porches, bay windows, turrets and full architectural roofs: premium metals that develop a living patina and hold up for generations, even in lake air. Custom fabrication for the fine details of older Milwaukee 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 extend roof life 10-15 years, restore color and protect seams from salt air and freeze-thaw 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 Milwaukee roofs once the snow starts melting. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow guards and rail systems for metal roofs: Milwaukee's lake-effect snow slides off slick panels in sudden sheets, so guards over entries, walks, driveways and neighboring roofs hold it back. Ice-dam prevention details at the eaves and honest guidance on what yours needs. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of hail, wind and storm 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 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, guards that handle snow slide, and downspouts that carry spring thaw and sudden downpours away from brick walls and basements. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, workshops, churches, garages and light commercial buildings across Southeast Wisconsin, from dairy and hobby farms west of Waukesha to lakeshore shops and warehouses, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
What Affects the Price
- Roof size and slope : Larger roofs require more materials and labor, while steep slopes increase installation difficulty and safety requirements, raising the price.
- Material type and gauge : Standing seam, copper, and stone-coated steel cost more than corrugated panels due to material expense and specialized installation techniques.
- Accessibility and roof height : Multi-story homes or roofs with limited access may require scaffolding or special equipment, adding to labor costs.
- Additional services and repairs : Services like flashing repair, snow guards, or gutter installation add to the overall project cost based on your specific needs.
