Metal Roof Costs

  • For a roof with a moderate pitch (considered 8 inches rise for every 12 inches run) the cost will be between $4.00 and $5.00 per square foot. Thus, for a 3,000 square foot roof, the average cost will be $13,500.
  • For a roof with a steeper pitch, that is difficult to access or otherwise provides complications for a contractor, the cost will be approximately $5.00-$7.00 per square foot, or $18000 for a 3,000 square foot roof.
