| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across St. Petersburg and Pinellas County: panel systems and coatings chosen for intense UV, salt air, daily thunderstorms and hurricane-season wind. Installed over a self-adhered underlayment with proper ventilation and careful flashing for a 40-60 year service life. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for St. Petersburg homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to loosen in the heat and humidity. Strong wind resistance, a cool reflective finish and coastal-rated aluminum or coated steel options. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of sun-baked shingle, cracked tile or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Many Florida insurers offer discounts for wind-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. A practical option on St. Petersburg block ranches with sound decking. 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 dented or punctured panels, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before the next summer downpour turns a small problem 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 skylight curbs) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after tropical storms and heavy thunderstorms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | St. Petersburg's heat, humidity and salt air work on exposed fasteners year-round, so screws back out and sun-baked washers crack or corrode on older exposed-fastener roofs. Oversized stainless or coated 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, lanais, sheds and workshops across Pinellas County. Quality panels in reflective cool-roof colors, installed with correct 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 shingle, slate or barrel tile with the lifespan of steel, a favorite for St. Petersburg homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and wind-rated for tropical storm gusts. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish: excellent wind and hail performance, Class A fire rating and profiles that mimic the barrel tile and shake looks common on Pinellas County homes, without the weight of concrete tile. |
| Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing | From $20/sq ft | Copper, zinc and aluminum roofing for accents, porches, bay windows and full architectural roofs: premium metals chosen with salt air in mind, developing a living patina on historic St. Petersburg homes. Custom fabrication for the fine details. |
| Metal Roof Coating & Painting | From $2.50/sq ft | Restoration of sun-faded, chalking or surface-rusted metal roofs: surface prep, rust treatment and high-performance reflective coating systems that extend roof life 10-15 years, restore color and cut summer heat gain without replacement. A fit for salt-air corrosion too. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys, vents and wall transitions, the number one leak point on St. Petersburg roofs when sun and downpours break down old sealant. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow is not a St. Petersburg concern, so this service focuses on what the coast really throws at a metal roof: wind uplift from tropical storms, loose ridge and edge details, and salt-air corrosion. Extra edge fastening, ridge securement and coated or aluminum trim keep a roof tight. Honest guidance on what yours needs. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of wind, tropical storm and lightning 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 after hurricane season. |
| Metal Roof Inspection | Free estimate | Complete metal roof inspections for homeowners, buyers and insurance requirements: fastener condition, seam integrity, flashing, coating and UV wear, salt-air corrosion, 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 tropical cloudbursts away from block walls and sandy, low-lying foundations; corrosion-resistant materials for salt air. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for marine buildings, warehouses, churches, carports and light commercial buildings across Pinellas County, from boatyards and workshops around the bayous to shops in Pinellas Park and Largo, with durable coated panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
What Affects the Price
- Roof size and complexity : Larger roofs require more materials and labor, and complex designs with multiple slopes, valleys, or penetrations can increase installation time and cost.
- Material type and gauge : Standing seam, corrugated panels, metal shingles, and stone-coated steel vary in price per square foot; thicker gauges and premium finishes also raise the cost.
- Accessibility and roof height : Difficult access, steep slopes, or multi-story homes may require additional safety measures and equipment, adding to the labor cost.
- Condition of existing roof and needed repairs : If your current roof has damage, rot, or multiple layers of old shingles, removal and disposal fees or structural repairs will affect the overall price.
