| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for Modesto homes, shops and farm buildings: panel systems chosen for Central Valley heat and UV, installed over a high-temperature synthetic underlayment with proper attic ventilation, careful flashing and details built for decades of 100-degree summers. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Modesto homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, so there are no exposed screws to loosen as valley heat expands and contracts the roof every day. Strong wind resistance and a cool reflective finish. |
| 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. Ask your insurer whether a fire-resistant or impact-rated 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 Modesto 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 wind-hit metal roofing: replacing dented or punctured panels, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before the first winter rain 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. Fast response when the first heavy storm of the season finds the weak spot. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Modesto's summer heat swings expand and contract metal roofs every day, so screws back out and sun-baked 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 homes, carports, barns and shops across Stanislaus County. Quality panels in reflective cool-roof colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-blown dust and pollen. |
| 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 Modesto homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and wind-rated for spring orchard winds. |
| 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 profiles that mimic the Spanish clay tile and shake looks common on Modesto homes. |
| 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 develop a living patina and last generations in dry valley air. Custom fabrication for the fine details of historic Modesto homes. |
| 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, restore color and cut summer heat gain without replacement. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys, dormers and stucco transitions: the number one leak point on Modesto roofs when the rains return after a dry summer. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Modesto never needs snow guards, so we point you to what matters on a valley metal roof: edge and ridge securement against spring wind, and reflective finishes that cut heat gain. Honest guidance on what your roof actually needs, and no sale of a product it will never use. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of wind, rare hail and fallen limb 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 and UV 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 sudden winter downpours away from stucco walls and foundations, with details that handle orchard dust and leaf debris. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, packing sheds, dairy buildings, shops, churches, carports and light commercial buildings across Stanislaus County, from orchard equipment sheds to warehouse roofs, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
What Affects the Price
- Roof size and complexity : Larger roofs and those with multiple slopes, valleys, or 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 the labor cost.
- Condition of existing roof : If removal of old roofing or structural repairs are needed, this adds to the project cost. Retrofit over shingles may save on disposal fees.
