Metal Roof Install Cost Estimate

[Sluggo0018]

Hello all. I don't post much here, but get a lot of valuable info from reading the posts.

My question has to do with the install of a new metal roof in our Vermont ski house. I am looking to get a rough idea of the materials and install price for comparison purposes. The current roof is fiberglass shingles over plywood and is 20 years old, crunchy and leaking. The old shingles will be removed down to the plywood deck and a new Fabral GrandRib 3 painted steel roof will be installed over a full covering of ice and snow dam membrane. Ridge vents will be included in the install.

The roof is very basic with the original portion of the house being a standard peaked roof with no valleys or dormers. The new part of the house has a hip roof at one end. Other features include a masonry chimney at one end and a skylight at the other. The install will include a new trim kit for the skylight. The overall roof area is roughly 2,300 sq ft and the pitch is 6:12.

Is there a way to come up with a rough estimate for an install like this? I appreciate any info that you can provide? Thanks.

I wanted to do a metal roof in my shed's (10x12) gambrel roof

Estimate was nearly $1000

I decided to shingle it myself for much, much cheaper

Guesstimate here in Texas is about 50% more than a composition install. More or less LOL.

If you are getting estimates have the quotes done both ways. Metal will be more. This is the worst time of the year to have a roof installed. Everybody waited until the last minute and now all the roofers are buried and charging 20-30 percent more. Ice and water on the whole roof is unnecessary and will cost quite a bit more. It was probably recommended so they can do the tear off and dry it in until they can get to the installation. If there is any way you can have the roof repaired now and do the new roof in the spring I think you can save some money.
