| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Indianapolis and central Indiana: panel systems built for hail, straight-line wind, snow load and humid summers, installed over ice-and-water protection at the eaves and valleys with proper ventilation and flashing done to manufacturer specifications for a 40-60 year service life. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Indianapolis homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to loosen as freeze-thaw cycles move the roof all winter. Strong wind resistance, snow that sheds cleanly and crisp lines for brick and Craftsman homes. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of worn, hail-battered shingle, aging slate and end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Some insurers offer discounts for impact-rated roofs, so ask yours. |
| 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 and a lower cost. Popular on Indianapolis ranch homes and Cape Cods. 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 and ice-dam damage before spring rain becomes 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 chimney transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after spring storms and winter ice dams. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Central Indiana's freeze-thaw winters and hot 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 homes, garages, barns and workshops across Marion County and the farm edges. Quality panels in cool-roof 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 Indianapolis homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable, hail-resistant and rated for spring wind. |
| 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 shingle looks found on Indianapolis 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 a century. Custom fabrication for the fine details on Victorian and Tudor homes. |
| 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 humidity and winter moisture without replacement. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys and brick transitions, the number one leak point on Indianapolis roofs. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit that survives freeze-thaw. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow guards and rail systems for metal roofs. Central Indiana winters make them worthwhile on steep roofs over entries, walkways and driveways, stopping packed snow and ice from sliding off at once. Honest guidance on whether yours needs them. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of hail, straight-line wind and fallen-limb 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 damage, 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 spring downpours and snowmelt away from brick walls and foundations, with details that handle heavy leaf fall. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, workshops, churches, carports and light commercial buildings across Marion and the surrounding counties, from farm buildings near Danville and Mooresville to shops on the Eastside and Southside, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
