| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Dayton and the Miami Valley: panel systems engineered for freeze-thaw cycling, heavy snow and humid summers; installed over self-adhered underlayment at the eaves with proper ventilation, and flashing details built for a 40-60 year service life. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Dayton homes. Panels are roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to loosen as freeze-thaw cycles work the roof all winter. Superior snow shedding and a durable, low-maintenance finish. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of worn, ice-damaged shingle or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Many insurers offer discounts for impact-rated roofs in hail country, 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 Miami Valley ranch homes. 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 Miami Valley thunderstorm or thaw 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, ice dam backup and pipe boots) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after storms and winter thaws. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Dayton's freeze-thaw winters and humid summers expand and contract metal roofs hundreds of times a year, so screws back out and aged 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 garages, porches, barns and workshops across Montgomery and Miami counties. Quality panels in durable colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-driven rain and snow. |
| 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 Dayton homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and rated for Midwest storm winds. |
| 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, a Class A fire rating and profiles that mimic the slate, shake and tile looks found on Dayton's older and newer homes. |
| 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 last a century on Dayton's historic Victorian and Tudor homes. Custom fabrication for the fine details. |
| 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 against humid summers and winter salt spray 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 Dayton roofs, especially where winter ice dams form. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow guards and rail systems for metal roofs: Dayton's heavy wet snow and ice slide off slick panels at once, so guards protect entries, driveways, gutters and shrubs below. Ice-dam awareness at the eaves, and honest guidance on whether yours needs them. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of hail, wind and tornado-warned thunderstorm 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 wear and ice dam history, 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 snowmelt and Miami Valley downpours away from brick walls and foundations, with guards and details that handle maple and oak debris and ice. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, workshops, churches, carports and light commercial buildings across the Miami Valley, from Miami County farm buildings and grain sheds to Dayton-area shops and garages, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
