| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across New Haven and the Connecticut shoreline: panel systems engineered for nor'easters, heavy snow, freeze-thaw cycling and salt air; 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 New Haven 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. Strong wind resistance, clean snow shedding and marine-grade finishes for salt air. |
| 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, with ice-and-water protection at the eaves and valleys. |
| 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 Shoreline Cape Cods and ranches. 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 a nor'easter 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 nor'easters and winter thaws. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | New Haven's freeze-thaw winters, humid summers and salt air expand, contract and corrode 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, sheds and workshops across New Haven County. 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 Shoreline homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and wind-rated for nor'easter gusts. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish: excellent wind performance, a Class A fire rating and profiles that mimic the slate and shake looks found on New Haven's older and newer homes. |
| Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing | From $20/sq ft | Copper, zinc and aluminum roofing for accents, porches, bay windows, turrets, dormers and full architectural roofs: premium metals that develop a living patina, like the green copper seen across historic New Haven, and last a century. 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 fight salt-air corrosion 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 New Haven 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: New Haven'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 nor'easter, wind and ice 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 salt-air wear, and ice dam history, with a straight answer on remaining service life and 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 coastal downpours away from foundations and stone walls, with guards and details that handle maple seeds, oak leaves and ice. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, garages, workshops, churches, carports and light commercial buildings across New Haven County, from Northford farm buildings and Guilford carriage barns to harbor-side shops, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
What Affects the Price
- Roof size and pitch : Larger roofs require more materials and labor, while steep pitches increase installation difficulty and safety requirements, raising costs.
- Material type : Standard corrugated panels cost less per square foot than standing seam or copper, which offer superior durability and aesthetics.
- Accessibility and roof complexity : Factors like multiple stories, skylights, chimneys, and tight spaces can slow down work and require special equipment, increasing labor costs.
- Extent of repair or replacement : Minor repairs like leak fixes are less expensive than full replacements, but hidden damage or needed structural work can add to the cost.
