| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for Tacoma homes, shops and outbuildings: panel systems chosen for a wet Puget Sound climate, installed over a quality synthetic underlayment with proper ventilation, careful flashing and details built for decades of rain, moss and salt air. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Tacoma homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, so there are no exposed screws to leak under months of rain, and rain sheds cleanly with less room for moss to hold. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of moss-eaten shingle, worn shake or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and any soft, rain-damaged boards repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Ask your insurer whether an impact-rated or fire-resistant roof earns a discount. |
| 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, lower cost. Popular on Tacoma ranches and split-levels. We check deck condition and moisture 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 panels dented by fallen limbs, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before a long wet winter turns 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 wall transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after heavy atmospheric-river rain and winter storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Constant wet-dry cycles and temperature swings loosen fasteners, and rain-soaked washers harden and crack on older exposed-fastener roofs around Tacoma. 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 homes, carports, barns and workshops across Pierce County. 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 cedar shake, slate or architectural shingles with the lifespan of steel: a favorite for Tacoma homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and moss-resistant. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish: strong wind and impact performance, good fire resistance, and shake and tile profiles that suit Tacoma's Craftsman and Tudor streets. |
| 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 age gracefully in marine air and can last for generations. Custom fabrication for the fine details of historic Tacoma homes. |
| Metal Roof Coating & Painting | From $2.50/sq ft | Restoration of faded, chalking or surface-rusted metal roofs: moss and algae cleaning, surface prep, rust treatment and a high-performance coating system that restores color and extends roof life without replacement. Done right it protects from constant Tacoma moisture. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys, dormers and wall transitions: the number one leak point on Tacoma roofs under months of rain. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow guards and rail systems for metal roofs: Tacoma only sees occasional wet snow, but a steep slope over an entry or walkway can drop it all at once. Honest guidance on whether yours needs them, and when a snow load on a hillside home is worth planning for. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of wind, fallen limb and winter 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, coating, moss growth 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 heavy Puget Sound rain away from foundations, with leaf guards for the needle and maple-leaf debris that clogs them. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, shops, churches, carports and light commercial buildings across Pierce County, from valley farm buildings near the river bottoms to industrial buildings along the tideflats, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
What Affects the Price
- Roof size and complexity : Larger roofs or those with multiple slopes, valleys, and penetrations require more materials and labor, increasing the overall cost.
- Material type and gauge : Premium materials like copper or stone-coated steel cost more than standard corrugated panels, and thicker gauges offer better durability at a higher price.
- Accessibility and roof height : Steep roofs, multi-story homes, or limited access can require additional safety measures and equipment, adding to labor costs.
- Existing roof condition and removal : If old roofing needs removal or repairs to the decking are necessary, this adds to the project cost. Retrofit over existing shingles can save on disposal fees.
