Metal Roofing in Mobile

We install new metal roofs and repair the ones already on homes, shops and outbuildings in Mobile, AL. That means the panels, the trim and the flashing around them, and the deck underneath when it needs it.

A metal roof on a house and one on a backyard shop or barn are the same job done to a different finish, and we price and plan each one on its own roof. If a cooler roof matters to you, ask about a panel's reflectance rating: the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) registers those ratings for cool roof products.

Panels, styles and the metal around them

Metal Roofing Panels and Styles

Metal roofing comes as standing seam and exposed-fastener panels and as stone-coated steel and aluminum shake styles. These are the parts of the work we do, from the panel on the slope to the trim and flashing we bend to fit it.

How a Metal Roof Goes On

A metal roof goes on over a sound, repaired deck and new underlayment, with the trim, flashing and fasteners set to the manufacturer's instructions. A new roof with us runs in these five steps.

  1. We quote the whole job. The estimate is free, and you have the price in writing before we start, with no surprise charges after.
  2. We check the deck. The "roof deck", the plywood or boards under the roofing, gets checked, and hidden damage is repaired before anything new goes on.
  3. New underlayment goes down. The "underlayment", the felt layer under the metal, is installed to the manufacturer's standards.
  4. Trim, flashing and panels go on. Drip edges, valleys, chimney shrouds and door pans are bent to fit, and the panels and fasteners are set as the maker specifies.
  5. We clean up. Cut-offs, screws and old roofing leave with us when the work is done.

How Metal Roofing Is Priced

Metal roofing costs more up front than shingle, and it is priced by the roof's area, the panel type, the pitch and the trim, but it lasts longer, so its cost per year evens out.

Metal roofing in Mobile typically runs $6,200 to $38,900 a roof, depending on the size of the roof and the type of metal. A basic standing seam roof on a modest-sized house in Mobile typically runs $9,300 to $14,600.

A steeper roof costs more to work on, and so do more stories, a roof with many valleys and penetrations, and any damage we find in the deck underneath. The exact price for your roof comes from the free estimate, in writing, before any work.

What you can count on

A metal roof is a big decision, so here is what we hold ourselves to on every one of them.

Metal Roof Repairs

A metal roof repair fixes loose fasteners, seams that have opened and the flashing at pipes, chimneys and walls, because that is where the water gets in.

On exposed-fastener panels, screws back out and their rubber washers wear, and each one becomes a small hole. The "flashing", the metal around the chimney, the pipes, the skylights and the walls, is where most leaks start, and where the roof meets a wall the "step flashing" and the "counterflashing" above it have to work together.

We trace the leak to the spot, then replace the fasteners, close the seam or bend new flashing to fit. Custom sheet-metal parts such as drip edges, chimney shrouds, valleys and door pans are made for the roof they go on.

Metal roofing questions

What is the biggest problem with metal roofs?

On a metal roof, leaks start where the roof is fastened or joined: screws that work loose, seams that open, and flashing at pipes, chimneys and walls. Those are the spots we check first, and the spots a metal roof repair fixes.

How much does a 2000 sq ft metal roof cost?

Metal roofing in Mobile typically runs $6,200 to $38,900 a roof, and a basic standing seam roof on a modest-sized house typically runs $9,300 to $14,600. A bigger roof, a premium panel, a steeper pitch or damage in the deck moves it up. Call for a free estimate and you get the exact number in writing.

Is it cheaper to put a metal roof or shingles?

Shingle is the cheapest material up front, and metal costs more. Metal lasts longer, though, so its cost per year evens out, and asphalt shingles typically last 20 to 30 years.
