| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Richmond and the surrounding counties: panel systems built for humid summers, pop-up hail and tropical-storm rain, installed over high-temperature synthetic underlayment with proper ventilation and careful flashing 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 Richmond homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to back out as the roof swells and shrinks through humid summers and freezing nights. Strong wind resistance and a low-maintenance finish that sheds leaves and rain. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of aging shingle, slate-look or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired for moisture damage, then a complete new metal system installed. Some carriers may offer discounts for 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: no tear-off, less waste and a lower-cost path. Popular on Richmond brick ranches and Cape Cods. 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 a summer cloudburst or tropical downpour becomes 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 dormer or porch transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after heavy storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Richmond's humid heat and winter freezes expand and contract metal roofs all year, so screws back out and 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, sheds, barns and workshops across the Richmond area. Quality panels in durable 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 Richmond homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and wind-rated for summer thunderstorms. |
| 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, fire-rated options and profiles that mimic the slate, shake and tile looks found on Richmond's historic and newer homes. |
| 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 last a century. Custom fabrication for the fine details on historic Richmond homes. |
| 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 reflect summer heat without replacement. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys, dormers and brick walls: the number one leak point on Richmond's older homes. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow guards and rail systems for metal roofs: Richmond sees only occasional snow and ice, but sliding sheets of it can fall onto entries, porches and walkways. Honest guidance on whether yours needs them. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of hail, wind and tropical-storm damage to metal roofing: thorough documentation with photos, an 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 and moss or algae 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 sudden thunderstorm downpours away from brick walls and foundations, with guards that handle oak leaves and pine needles. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, workshops, churches, carports and light commercial buildings across the Richmond area, from Hanover and Powhatan farm buildings to Henrico and Chesterfield shops, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
