“Had these guys put a metal roof on our hay barn out past the county line, and they knocked it out in two days with a crew of four. The old rusted panels are gone and the new ribbed steel looks sharp. Only thing was they left a few screws and scraps in the gravel that I had to pick up myself, but the roof itself is solid.”
Agricultural Metal Roofing
“We were dreading tearing off the old shingles on our brick house's front porch, but Lexington Metal Roofing did a retrofit right over them and saved us a ton of mess. Flashing around the porch columns is neat as a pin and the whole thing was done in three days. Really relieved we went this route.”
Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit)
“Our horse barn's roof was leaking into the stalls every time it rained, and they replaced the whole thing with corrugated panels plus new gutters along the back. The crew was respectful of the horses and cleaned up all the old metal. Grateful to finally have a dry barn before winter.”
Metal Roof Replacement
“Standing seam on our brick ranch, about 2,200 square feet, and it looks absolutely fantastic, the dark bronze finish totally changed the curb appeal. Crew of five finished in four days and swept the driveway clean each evening. Impressed with how precise the seams came out.”
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
“Had a leak right where the roof met our brick chimney and they tracked it down fast, replaced the flashing and resealed everything. No more drips in the living room after the last big storm. Fair price and they explained exactly what was wrong.”
Chimney & Skylight Repair
“We wanted something that looked like slate without the weight, and they installed metal shingle roofing on our Tudor-style home. Honestly surprised how much it looks like the real thing from the street. Took about a week and the crew was tidy, though the dumpster sat in the driveway a couple extra days.”
Metal Shingle Roofing
“Brand new metal roof on our brick house and the before/after is night and day. They handled the whole install in under a week, hauled off the old material, and even ran new gutters sized for the metal panels. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out.”
Metal Roof Installation
“After that windstorm peeled back a section of our Tudor's roof, Lexington Metal Roofing came out within two days, re-fastened the panels and replaced the damaged screws and flashing. You can't even tell where the damage was. Solid, honest work and they didn't try to upsell me a whole new roof.”

Homeowners searching for a metal roofing contractor near me in Lexington usually want the same thing: a straight answer about what is actually wrong with the roof and what it will take to fix it. Lexington Metal Roofing is a local metal roofing company serving Lexington and the surrounding Bluegrass communities, handling metal roof installation, replacement, re-roofs, and repairs on homes and farm buildings across the region. Our network of licensed, insured local contractors works on the steep pitches, heavy tree cover, and exposed ridges common here, and on the large stock of aging screw-down metal roofs that are now reaching the age where fasteners need attention.
We serve homeowners and property owners in Lexington, Nicholasville, Georgetown, Versailles, Winchester, and the rural stretches in between, from historic brick homes near downtown to newer subdivision roofs and working horse farms. If you have been putting off a call because you are not sure whether you need a repair or a whole new roof, start with a free estimate and an honest assessment.
Most metal roof leaks in this area trace back to a handful of predictable failures. On 15 to 30 year old exposed-fastener roofs, the number one cause is fasteners backing out as their EPDM sealing washers dry, shrink, and crack, which lets water past the screw head and into the deck. Seams can separate as panels expand and contract with summer heat and winter freeze-thaw cycling. Pipe boots, chimney flashing, skylight curbs, and valley flashing fail as sealant ages and metal pulls away. Severe thunderstorms and straight-line wind lift and peel panels, and fallen limbs from the bur oak, blue ash, and black walnut trees that shade older streets puncture panels outright.
Ignoring a small leak is expensive. Water tracks along purlins and decking far from the point where it enters, so the stain on your ceiling is rarely where the roof is failing. By the time it shows, sheathing can be rotted and insulation soaked, turning a modest metal roof leak repair into a decking and interior repair. Our metal roof repair work starts with finding the actual entry point, not just sealing the symptom.
The honest repair-versus-replace call depends on the panel, its age, and how widespread the failures are. Often a full screw replacement and re-fastening with new washered fasteners restores a watertight roof for a fraction of replacement cost, and we will tell you plainly when that is the right move and when it is not. If water is coming in now, call (859) 785-4928 and we will get someone out to look at it.
We install the full range of metal systems and match the roof to the building rather than the other way around. Standing Seam Metal Roofing uses concealed clips and hidden fasteners for a clean, premium roof with no exposed screws to maintain. Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing is the economical workhorse for cabins, barns, and workshops. We also install Metal Shingle Roofing, Stone-Coated Steel Roofing, and Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing for accents and historic profiles.
The honest comparison is simple: standing seam costs more up front but has no exposed fasteners to service, while screw-down costs less and needs its fasteners checked and replaced over its life. When the deck is sound, Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) is a legitimate option that saves on tear-off; when the deck is not sound, a full Metal Roof Replacement is the correct call.
Metal roof installation is typically quoted per square foot, while repairs are often flat-rate, and the price depends on the panel system and metal gauge, roof pitch and complexity, tear-off versus recover, decking condition, and access. We frame every figure as a typical range because final pricing depends on the roof and site conditions, and we would rather see the roof before quoting than guess. Some carriers may offer premium discounts for metal or impact-rated roofs, though that is between you and your insurer.
For a realistic starting point, see our pricing page, then request a free estimate or a free roof inspection so we can give you a number that reflects your actual roof.
After a storm, we inspect the roof and provide written documentation with photos that you may submit to your own insurer. We are not an insurance adjuster or agent, coverage decisions rest with your carrier, and we make no promise that a claim will be approved. We document what we find and leave the coverage decision where it belongs.
On permits, in most jurisdictions a permit is commonly required for a full replacement or re-roof, but requirements vary by city, and thresholds, fees, and inspection requirements differ. Historic district or HOA design review can also affect panel profile and color choices, so it is worth checking early. Requirements vary, always verify with the Lexington building or planning department before starting your project. If you have questions about the process, contact us and we will point you in the right direction.
