| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes and farms across Lexington and the Bluegrass: panel systems engineered for humid summers, hail and freeze-thaw winters; installed over synthetic underlayment with proper ventilation; clean flashing and manufacturer-specified details for a 40-60 year service life. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Lexington homes and horse-farm houses. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws for freeze-thaw cycling to loosen. Strong wind resistance and a clean finish. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of worn shingle, patched slate or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away; decking inspected and repaired; then a complete new metal system installed. Many carriers 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, lower cost. Popular on Lexington 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 storm-hit metal roofing: replacing dented or punctured panels; resealing seams and penetrations; and fixing failed flashing before a spring thunderstorm 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 wall transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after severe storms and ice melt. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Lexington's freeze-thaw winters and humid summers flex metal roofs hundreds of times a year, so screws back out and aging 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, tobacco barns, horse barns and shops across Fayette and Bourbon counties. Quality panels in durable colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-driven rain. |
| 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 Lexington homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and wind-rated for summer storms. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish: strong hail and wind performance; Class A fire rating; and profiles that mimic the slate, shake and clay tile looks found on Lexington's Tudor and Colonial Revival 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 Lexington's historic brick 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 and restore color without replacement. Common on older tin porch roofs and farm outbuildings. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys and brick walls: the number one leak point on Lexington roofs, where freeze-thaw cycling opens old seams. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow guards and rail systems for metal roofs: Lexington's snow is moderate, but on steep roofs over entries, porches and lower roofs guards hold snow and ice from sliding off all at once. Honest guidance on whether yours needs them. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of hail, wind and thunderstorm damage to metal roofing: thorough documentation with photos; honest assessment of repair vs. 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 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 heavy rain away from foundations on karst limestone lots; with details that handle leaves and debris. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for horse barns, tobacco barns, workshops, churches and light commercial buildings across the Bluegrass: from farm buildings among the rolling pastures to Lexington shops and warehouses, 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 choice : From corrugated panels at $5.50/sq ft to copper at $20/sq ft, the material you select significantly impacts the price.
- Accessibility and roof height : Steep roofs or those with limited access may require specialized equipment and additional safety measures, 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 can be more economical.
